Other perfectly good names for this film.


"Blah blah blah" and "Walk and Talk: The Movie" are perfect examples others already wrote.

Other names I'd like to suggest are:
On stage in 4 minutes
Conversation Interrupted
You Got to Go on Stage
Steve, Its Time
Cut-scenes & Applause

Or just "Ad Hominem Steve". Whether people are pro or anti Apple, it's little more than talent poured into a flashy character assassination. It would have been better to attack him for genuine things if that was the intent, or at least produce a balance. Jobs will be part of history for a long time. There are plenty of fact checks to show that the character portrayed in the film, however flawed, was also not the jerk that clearly was as far as the filmmakers could see. Even two hours of arguing was not particularly enlightening.

Interesting, lots of people have accused this of being pro-Jobs/apple propaganda too. When people from both sides of an issue accuse something of being biased against them that usually means it's doing a good job.

Absolutely correct.

"Steve, its time" is perfect!

"Walk and Talk: The Movie"


I never get this criticism of movies. When you get down to it, aren't most movies, aside from B-movie action flicks and pornos 90+ percent "walking and talking"? Did you come in expecting a giant space battle in the third act?

I'm not particularly pro or anti Apple, so I didn't fall into those groups. A good film stirs up debate, entertains, inspires, or educates. Personally I think I found the movie a bit depressing as it didn't really do any of those for me, and searching for Fact Checks confirmed my personal opinion that it wasn't balanced or even provocative. As a movie about Apple, I would like to have seen some balance of his autocratic style or inventive failures with his remarkable business acumen or how some of his inventions changed the world. As a movie anout the person I would like to have seen some balance between his personal failures and his unsung contributions to charity and his words (largely I understand from his Zen Buddhism) that have inspired millions, both in business and in facing death. I'm not a massive fan of the Oscars, but I think on this occasion they were correct in not honouring it. It was a subject unsuited to an otherwise brilliant director's style and, although dramatised in a novel way, his reach was a bit beyond his grasp. Fine performances nevertheless.

Or how about.. iDick (since he clearly is one, as depicted in this movie)
