What is Apple a cult or something?

Apple executives began trashing that book as too focused on Jobs’ flaws and temper. Not possible.

The new Steve Jobs movie is taking a very negative view of Jobs, painting Jobs as the only the evil Jerk Jobs, according to the previews, and Steve Wozniak is saying the words and some scenes attributed to him are entirely fictional and never happened. Should be interesting to see if the entire film is a Sorkin hit piece like "The Social Network." — PING!
Michael Fassbender as Steve Jobs. Ping!

Probably not. Nobody really cares what the biopics say. Pirates of Silicon Valley didn’t hurt them. Jobs didn’t hurt them. Social Network didn’t hurt Facebook. Even if people bother to watch it (which Jobs seriously calls into question) things tend fall out of people’s heads when they leave the theater.

Michael Fassbender looks like Kent from Real Genius (1985.)

It’s the only way they know to portray a straight white guy any more.

The simple truth is that most people who rise from nothing to, in a few years become billionaires, is that they are huge *ssholes who are all ego and have no love for anyone else. Watched “Genius: Edison vs. Tesla,” last night. Watched “Wright Brothers vs. Curtis” and “Colt vs. Wesson.” Great series.

If you make enough biopics of Steve Jobs (this is what, the 4th?) eventually you will get one that’s not worshipful.

Let's face it folks. Every business magnate from Cornelius Vanderbilt to Mark Zuckerberg have to be ruthless at times in order to wildly succeed in a business venture. Jobs' mercurial attitude is nothing compared to what John D. Rockefeller, Andrew Carnegie, J. P. Morgan, and others of the Robber Baron age did to amass their fortunes.

Starring Michael Fassbender as Jobs and Seth Rogen as Wozniak, every frame of the two-minute trailer shows us an arrogant, smug Jobs. The portrayal shouldn’t be surprising given that the script was written by Aaron Sorkin ...Seth Rogen and Aaron Sorkin? That's two strikes right there!
