Jobs Movie Review & Film Summary (2. It's customary to be told to turn off all electronic devices before a press screening these days.

But at a showing of . And would that we had the option to leave our precious glowing doo- dads on just this once, if only to offer occasional distraction from what amounts to a glorified TV movie that is to . It isn't an easy job to be Jobs, after all. He might have died in 2. Apple stores in malls. But Kutcher never totally recovers from an introductory scene set in 2.

Zen master mode, he introduces the i. Pod as . You only get a teasing glimpse of Kutcher in puffy middle- age makeup, most likely because he looks a little ridiculous decked out in Jobs's signature uniform: round wire- rimmed specs, gray beard and short- cropped hair, black mock turtleneck and Levis. And that is probably also a reason that the story then rewinds and instead focuses on Jobs from his college years to his early 4. That way, the 3. 5- year- old Kutcher can get away with his impersonation by simply varying his hair and beard length while regularly glaring with opportunistic intent.

In other scenes, the actor affectedly walks with a deliberate stooped gait, presumably emulating the real Jobs. Or maybe it's just that the responsibility of bringing such a larger- than- life icon to life is weighing down the star of . Feet, by the way, that are often unshod since, as we are shown numerous times, Jobs made a habit out of eschewing shoes—all the better to make a half- hearted Christ- figure analogy.

The trouble is, we don't find out much else about the guy's motivations save for this take- no- prisoners drive to be the best in the biz. All the historic moments are duly ticked off, from Jobs freeing his mind with LSD and going to India in his college- dropout years to the supposed instant he came up with the corporate name of Apple. But while Jobs might have touted the i. Pod as a tool with a heart, this portrait of him is too often without a pulse. Advertisement. Kutcher at least comes alive during the warts- and- all parts of the story. He isn't half bad when being a bastard, such as when Jobs screams at anyone who defies his perfectionist aesthetic, doesn’t perform to his exacting standards or dares to steal an idea (too bad not more is made out of his feud with Microsoft's Bill Gates). Failing to acknowledge the importance of multiple font options to this tech titan was apparently like waving a wire hanger in front of Joan Crawford.

Leading up to his eventual fall from grace at the company before his resurrection as its CEO, Jobs tends to behave like an insensitive self- serving ass, especially when he refuses to acknowledge his out- of- wedlock daughter or denies compensation to deserving friends who helped build the Apple empire back when it was a two- bit operation in his dad's garage. But save for a few references of being abandoned by his birth parents and adopted later, the source of Jobs's jerky behavior never is revealed.

Except for chubby supernerd Steve Wozniak — the most sympathetic and substantial secondary character thanks to the laidback affability of Josh Gad (Broadway's . Recognizable performers in business suits crop up now and then, including James Woods, Dermot Mulroney, Matthew Modine and J. K. Simmons, but their talents are barely tapped. As for the actresses who play the women in Jobs's life, they fare the worst. Poor Lesley Ann Warren is briefly seen as Jobs's adoptive mother but never heard.

Kutcher and his director, Joshua Michael Stern (. Instead, their version of Steve Agonistes too often just doesn't compute.

We have shared the best of times and the worst of days. There have been artists who I have been disappointed with over the years, artists who suddenly lost all credibility when they stop pleasing their own self and focus on expanding their audience. He makes me proud to be a Punk Rocker. He and Meat Puppets will have a hard act to follow but the love we all share for each other is real and it is powerful. The Tour, the tours, and the New Tour.

Before the gig, in an alley behind the place, somebody found a big empty cardboard box that had once held light bulbs. Printed on the side in large letters were the words 'Econo Watt.' D Boon and Mike had both shaved their heads for the tour. Somebody came up with the brilliant idea of fashioning the box into a headpiece by cutting out the phrase and then carving out a half circle beneath the words in the shape of Mike's head which allowed it to be taped onto his hairless noodle, effectively turning him into a road sign, advertising the gist of Mike's, and the Minutemen's, tour ethos: Tour Econo!

Mike still flies that flag. One of my favorite people, let alone bassists, on the planet. It's an honor, a privilege and, quite frankly, a god damn miracle!

We're calling this run 'The Tour Tour Two' and you are all invited. Onward! frommike watt:   it was dennis pelowski who approached me last fall about doing a month w/the meat puppets in the u. I go way back w/the guys, love them dearly. I go backstage which is backstage and downstairs - whoa, I'll think I'll plant myself here cuz of my fucked up portside knee. I also have a prob w/the screw holding my pickups on my wattplower in not having enough wood to bit into (the screw's too short) but monitorman kyle comes to the rescue w/a phillips driver - he has to do it twice but same thing after, the band comes right back in w/total recover mode engaged, respect. I think this is something that has to happen but accident, you can't stage this kind of stuff and get away w/it but dealing w/the hand get dealt to you has a certain dynamic that speaks to certain kinds of stuff. I think we did pretty ok, especially w/the sitch.

I meet one of brother kyle in virginia's buddies, stuart - he took georgie to get a porche in richmond years ago. I'm gonna see brother kyle later this tour - him and stuart, virginia! I invite him in the boat and we talk - tom and jer have already loaded the boat, good work. I missed her in person though, her buddy too - great people. I'm so so sorry and not just a little ashamed. I'm most grateful to jay, we shove off in the rain, the narrow streets a little hard to navigate cuz of the boat's width.. I gotta really focus to keep us safe w/this kind of weather plus the road is beat and 'pert- near shakes what a little teef I got left out of my head.

I start my secret prayers for some kind of deliverance and damn if there ain't a town called crook that's got a gas station - a sinclair one w/the dinosaur kitsch.. I blow out and take even longer than tom's bogart at jay's head earlier. I- 7. 6 ends at I- 8. I chimp diary. I meet soundman ben and ask him to be our fourth man tonight, he's into it - yes. I go the dressing room to do some throatcoat tea w/tom, damn if we ain't on at quarter after eight and that's real soon - no time for the won ton soup, maybe chow it later. I'm glad she's safe though, that's the main thing.

I can't believe she's doing these hellrides alone, respect. I look portside and see cris watching the gig, much respect. I'm having trouble keeping my levis up - damn if I ain't gotta get a belt which ain't a bad thing. I'm glad we went for it though and also for the denver gig- goers which is the same here tonight in omaha, folks giving us much respect and focus. I did tell people tonight I get this stuff even though the main thing I come to their town for is to work the bass.. I try to rap as much as I can to let cats know I appreciate them really and ain't trying to be jive. I think I really owe them that.

I get to see bass brother britt again let him check out the wattplower. I get talked to about stuff from back when - I get to say hi to bill from old days nebraska band capitol punishment, him and d boon wrote each other a few times, he tells me - good to see him, big hugs. I wish I could play everywhere cuz I like everywhere - just ain't enough days in a tour, just ain't. I dedicated . I feel righteous after all hosed off, happening. I get fred to share jer his can- am books and we talk about racing while I finally can chow that won ton soup, I don't like chowing after gigs but tonight: yes.

I get what internet stuff I can cuz we gotta pull anchor at eight, fred wants to take us to breakfast, most very kind of him. I've never been on the great lakes. I wheel us further north through iowa on this state road 6. I get a couple of chicken strips and chow those, tom now at the rudder for the last 1. I chimp diary. I meet ben, dennis' nephew and he learns me about the rolling stones even playing this pad in the 7. I love this man, love all three huskers - there would've been no . I talk w/curt's son elmo backstage - he wants to talk about jazz stuff, alright.

I find out he started on drums and also does both bass and keyboards, whoa. I always got a kit I got from perk set up in my prac pad.. I watch porcupine open the gig up and they kick up much dust. I watch the whole set from right in front greg and damn if he ain't going for it - many townshends and dancing from him. I have to say the minneapolis gig- goers are very VERY kind to us. I kind of space on some words cuz of their focus. I keep it together even w/feeling a little beat, the driving's catching up some w/me but the gig- goers buoy me as do both tom and jer who are playing real good.

I'm happy to take pictures but please make them quick, I hope that don't sound picky but.. I'm just a little beat but still wanna show appreciation and rap w/as many as I can. I can't remember if steve ever told me if he ever met him but w/his sense of history, I know it would be very happening for me be in on a spiel w/them both involved. I wheel us over the mississippi river into wisconsin and in a little bit pull over to fuel the boat and also cuz I gotta piss like a racehorse. I also get a salad and some some yogurt w/peach in it (my favorite) for later when it's my turn riding shotgun (where I go when I ain't at the wheel).

I also get a battery charger for the digicamera's aa batteries cuz I spaced on that too. I chimp diary after a visit w/greg norton.. I love rapping w/greg norton, always learning something from this cat, always.
