    The Pirates of Silicon Valley is still the best movie.

    Couldn't they at least try to find an actor than can act?

    I don't think it looks like Steven Jobs.

    Not a fan of Kutcher...although he was pretty good in The Butterfly Effect.

    More proof that Hollywood has run out of ideas. I also thought this was an April Fool's joke when I saw it. :p

    I don't know... historical movies based on facts are regular topics. What I wonder is if they'll be honest. Since he's dead I expect them to paint him as a hero and a wonderful person. WIRED magazine had a large section devoted to him after he passed and made him sound like a guy who'd be a perfect father and gentleman. Pretty different from all the stories over the last 15-20 years.

    Your proof that they're running out of ideas can be found in the talk about remaking the Tom Clancy movies starring Jack Ryan. Hunt for Red October and the like....

    I contemplated which of the two I could care less about and determined I don't give a rats patooty about either of them equally.

    Agreed. Wasn't it a TBS movie? Surprised it didn't make the big screen.

    He was good in Butterfly Effect. I'm sure he can act, he just gets mostly stupid roles. Just like Jim Carrey can act too once you get him away from his stupid antics; see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind.

    To Apple worshippers, this movie is like the story of Jesus.

    Not surprised, this reflects the average Apple product user perfectly.
