is that isaacson book worth reading?

His story is way boring compared to, I don't know, Stephen Hawking, Abraham Lincoln, or the members of NWA, to give three financially successful recent biopics.
second half (third?) of straight outta compton was p much excruciating but omg what a fucking relief (tho hardly unpredictable) that the nwa movie crushed the steve jobs movie(s)

He's the guy who managed the guys who made the iPhone/Toy Story is not a terribly exciting hook to most people. I suspect a Gates biopic would be more interesting, at least you'd have anti-trust shenanigans for drama.

the next Jobs movie will be about Steve Jobs in Hell watching all the movies about him and reviewing them

i didn't think so, tbh, but it did seem like the only book i saw anyone reading for like five months after it came out

The first "act" is the best use of Fassbender's sourness I've ever seen, and Kate Winselt was unrecognizable (to me) for a few minutes until the Sorkinspeak coaxed out the Oscar begging. Sorkin's tics are so recognizable that I couldn't even hiss when he constructs the movie so that the hippie ex-girlfriend is a frivolous airhead for spending $1500 on aroma therapy or whatever while the misanthrope genius is saving the world from Walkmans.

Haven't seen this, and don't want to, but Tom Scharpling (on a recent Best Show) describing the films heated screaming matches between Fassbender and Daniel's over Super Bowl ads and Apple updates was hilarious.

Fassbender and Jeff Daniels yelling at each other is oddly compelling.

i love that scene--especially with the crosscutting between shouting matches at different times.

This is hagiography. I know our culture lionizes charismatic assholes but did they really need to show him being heroically protective of Woz?

Oh look, he's late for a keynote because he's trying to be a good parent. AYFKM

Marveling at Mr Soto's capsule review a few posts up. I don't need to see the film now.
