Steve Jobs: Can we all just stop putting this guy on a pedestal I get it his iProducts is the gift to us Millennials (I really don't care for apple or Tablets and Smartphones) besides when will Bill Gates get his movie?
Only when Gates finally kicks the bucket.
I doubt his movie will be as popular as Jobs' films unless it vilifies Gates.
Something I find supremely ironic because Jobs was every bit the ruthless, hypocritical businessman as Gates.
(I'll spare my rant; just look up the Apple vs Xerox and Apple vs Microsoft lawsuits in the late 80s/early 90s. It's some eye-opening shit.)
Star Wars: The Force Awakens: I AM SCARED OF THIS MOVIE, I AM HORRIFYED OF THIS MOVIE, I AM SCARED IF IT WILL END UP BEING AS BAD OR WORSE THAN THE PHANTOM MENACE!!! IT WILL EVEN OVERSHADOW THE NEGATIVE OUTRAGE OF MASS EFFECT 3' ENDING!!!
I honestly think it can't be worse than The Phantom Menace.
At this point, even Disney must be aware of the epic online shitfest surrounding the prequel trilogy over the past decade.
(mostly after the Plinkett videos, but I will add that people were mocking the prequels years before RedLetterMedia.)
They're going to play things as safe as they can.
That doesn't mean I think it will be good, just not as bad as any of the prequels.
It's being headed by J.J. Abrams, a man whose work so far reaches the heights of "Well meaning and decent, but ultimately stupid and inoffensive". (Star Trek 09' was dumb fun. Into Darkness was more ambitious and had all sorts of good ideas but ultimately flopped in execution.)
The one bright point about
The Farcical Rousing The Force Awakens is that Disney (supposedly) has several of the original Star Wars veterans who worked with Lucas (the ones absent from the prequels, who kept most of ol' Georgie's worst ideas out of the originals) working on the film.
It's my only hope for the film.

I can say with confidence that Stonewall will be a disaster. The last time Emmerich did a "historical/passion project" movie we ended up with "Anonymous" which was one of the STUPIDEST films dealing with anything Shakespeare.
OH GOD MY BRAIN!
Why did you remind me of that pretentious fucking trainwreck of a film?!
Something that challenges Ancient Astronaut for stupidest conspiracy theory I've seen in the past 5 years.
