I’ve seen Jay in the Coffee Zone from time to time but this morning he showed up with a cool gizmo under his arm.
Steve Jobs
What can I say about the new Steve Jobs movie other than I really enjoyed it. I came to the Mac late in life so Jobs never had the god-like status he did/does for many. This movie will seem blasphemous for those folks (like The Last Temptation of Christ).
As Aaron Sorkin has said in almost every interview, this is not a cradle-to-grave biopic. If it’s not the Steve Jobs story, it’s i Steve Jobs story and, in my opinion, a damned good one.
I like the way Aaron Sorkin writes. (And make no mistake, this is a talky movie. Noting but talk) And while he could have tried to bunt and beat it out for a single; or pull one hard to left for a stand-up double; he swung for the fence and — again, in my opinion — knocked it out of the park.
If you think the man walked on water, don’t go see this movie. If you go nuts every time Apple sets a new sales record with a product launch (looking at you Android Boy), I don’t think you’ll like it either.
If you enjoyed West Wing or The Newsroom or Social Network, I think you’ll be entertained.
I’m going to again link to a good interview (of Sorkin) by Steven Levy. If you plan to see the movie, read this first.

William Gibson: The New Cyber/Reality (2010)
Runs 20 minutes. If you enjoy Gibson’s writing, you’ll enjoy this interview. If you’re not a fan, probably too long for you.
