Here’s a clip from Ashton Kutcher’s Steve Jobs biopic, jOBS, a film with a title so f*cking stupid it lowers the resale value of my computer every time I have to type it. (Does anyone else keep pronouncing it “Yobs?”). Kutcher appears to be playing Steve Jobs as Kelso, in a clip I like to think of as “Those 70s Nerds.”
If you’ll remember, there’s a competing Steve Jobs biopic project commissioned by Jobs himself that Aaron Sorkin is writing. Meanwhile, this one’s being financed by a guy who makes real estate textbooks and stars Josh Gad. Look, ma, it’s an Arple Merkintosh! Same great operating system for half the price!

No, as a tribute to Arrested Development, I’m pronouncing jOBS as “Gobs.”
I would like to see Ashton Kutcher try to act his way out of a paper bag in the hopes that he suffocates in it
Did they ever find the car they were looking for?

If I had to guess the level of suck for this one, I would guess “1 metric Ash-ton.”
I hope Ashton went so method with this role that he contracted pancreatic cancer.

I’d much rather see this than Sorkin’s version.
That said, what’s up with the sloppy audio editing on this clip? My sound is better on a film with a budget somewhere near what they spent on Kutcher’s electric Norelco kit for this flick.

Oh Mini Cooper full of dead babies, the whole “Jobs as a Prophet” handjob treatment is so ridiculous. He made a lot of money selling status devices and locking people into a tightly-controlled closed software store, and he was a f**king a**hole for the whole time he did it. It takes legendary arrogance and hubris when your reaction to a cancer diagnosis is to spend nine months shoving saffron and frankincense up your butt instead of LISTENING TO A DOCTOR because FORCE OF WILL and I LISTEN TO MY GUT! You can bully and browbeat your subordinates and later your customers, but not science and not cancer.
I think he did a lot more later in his life… but still: Total dick.
Jackie Jormp Jomp, whatever happened to her?
More like Dude Where’s My Career.
Hahahahaha…..ha……..heh.
Guys? Why is it so empty in here?
Fingers crossed that in the flash forward to when Wozniak is dating Kathy Griffin she’s played by Paz De La Huerta with Cheetos dust in her hair
A Merkintosh sounds like a line of comedian-endorsed p*ssy wigs.
Merkintoshes don’t get viruses, they experience “slow down.”
It’s “Obs.” The j is silent.
And then he hunts down Bill Gates.
