Anyone else not give three shits about that "Jobs" movie? There is only room for ONE movie talking about the creation of the personal computer and its name is "Pirates of Silicon valley" dammit!

Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs... pass.
Yeah, and early reviews weren't good either. I'd wait until the Steve Jobs movie that Aaron Sorkin is writing gets made.
Indeed, though really I wish they'd make a movie based on Iwoz but I guess a movie about a guy who almost ruins a computer company TWICE might be more dramatic.

I did not know about this, but here is a link to explain it for anyone else who doesn't understand what Gas is talking about.

I remember watching Unforgiven and being left with a cold feeling. It was very good, definitely made an impact, though it's been a long time. I will definitely watch this remake; I love Ken Watanabe in just about everything I have seen him in.
Can we appreciate how fucking awesome this is?
Decades ago, the samurai film Yojimbo was remade into A Fistful of Dollars starring Clint Eastwood. And now this western directed by Clint Eastwood is being made into a samurai film.
And even without subtitles, I can tell which scenes are which from the original. I love the original, so I'll probably love this.
Statler: I'm confused. Is this a sequel or a prequel?
Waldorf: Well, I know what I'll need.
Statler: What's that?
Waldorf: Nyquil.
DOH-HO HO HO HO HO!

Why? It's meant to be as bad as, say, fart shoes. In fact, it had exact same timing and reactions as the fart shoes line in the trailer for the first movie.
It's Muppets. I have faith.
The main reason that The Muppets was such a good movie was because it was basically Jason Seigel's love letter to the Muppets. I have a feeling this one is going to be much more studio interfered with.
Scooter singing Moves like Jagger with penguin back up singers...I am definitely seeing this.

CO-written. Key word there being "CO." The co-writer for this one also co-write the first, and is directing it, like he directed the first.

Bill Murray and Cate Blanchet in a WWII flick? Yes, please. Even though Matt Damon is in this, I will still see it. Why couldn't Clooney find someone, anyone else....

"This is unforgivable!" or "I won't forgive you!" is a common stock phrase in Japanese media, as trite and confusingly narmy as it sounds in english. They use it in place of things like "of course you know, this means war" (or a stronger version of "You'll pay for this!") To them, it means playtime is over, the gloves are coming off and the long knives are coming out.
So basically, in the US, "The Unforgiven" just sounds like somebody who did something in the past that is kinda bad so you don't associate with them any more.... but in japan, it would be akin to calling someone a complete, irredeemable monster who deserves death with extreme prejudice, if I infer correctly.
Of course, as I mentioned, it's such a stock phrase that it could also have the opposite effect from raw overuse... like if they called a movie "THIS MEANS WAR" I'd be half inclined to an eyeroll and a groan.
I like Matt Damon...
I liked Matt Damon until he let Colbert die under neath that Coke Machine...
I get the impression that saying it is akin to pronouncing final judgement. That since forgiveness is off the table, there remains no other option than to settle it somehow. At that point a price must be paid, even if that means it must be taken by force.

This will be the greatest movie of all time. OF ALL TIME.

Ok, the big "NOOOOOOO!" made me start laughing.
"Hold on to your nuts" made it worse.
Oh, this is painful to watch. The result of 10 years and 65 million dollars going to work.
Wow. Just...wow. I mean...someone actually paid for this to be made? And thought it'd be good?
That said, the appearance by the California Raisins was pretty funny. I actually listened to them when I was a kid.

You know how they had so many brand name characters in this? Well, its plot has all of the brand name characters as the heroes, while the villains are generic brands. Consider that for a bit.
