Steve Jobs being a box office bomb and being outgrossed by ashtons film Appreciation Thread

[FlyRy]

I still haven't seen this. But I do want to. Everyone I respect says it's good and I believe it. But it did kind of feel like when Talib kweli released 'I try" to try to recreate 'Get By'(social network)

Why would you be glad that a vastly inferior film outperformed it's better counterpart?

I saw both, and I don't really care about why it was made in regards to Oscar bait or moneygrab, blah blah whatever you want to call it.

Steve Jobs is a fukking great movie. That, imo, is all that really matters.

And truth be told, the FIRST film was the cash grab. It was rushed into production and is nothing more than a made-for-TV movie put in theaters. It's a very by the numbers biopic that is less interesting than the decades old actually made for TV movie, "Pirates of Silicon Valley".

Goes to show you that no matter how many people will spend hours stanning your products you could die tomorrow and they wouldn't give two shyts.

he was just a business man. No tech background and didnt invent anything.

Literally the only reason this film exists was oscar bait. Thats it.


We did not need another steve jobs movie.


I'd rather watch epic movie or one of those other shytty spoof films then watch another masturbation of steve jobs. He was a piece of shyt,he got aids,he died. The end.


Their is thousands of other ideas that could go into production with this amount of money and talent shoved at it, as well as the oscar behind the scenes push that are far more deserving.


fukk this movie.

Well, I guess we're just going to have to disagree lol.

This version isn't really a masturbation of Jobs though....he's not a particularly likable character.

 

[The_King_of_Everything]

It was a good movie

This movie in a nutshell

 

[re'up]

It was a really dope movie honestly...and yes, I have an iphone and new imac, but I couldn't really give a fukk about Steve Jobs, the movie was compelling and emotionally resonant.

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

They still ain't done shyt about the other one.

 

[Thizzlam]

Best movie of the year. Already seen it 4 times in theaters.

[duckbutta]

Uh...this is an oscar bait film so it wasn't really expected to make money so not sure it can "flop"...
