What on God's green earth is going on with Steve Jobs. I wonder if those dumb complaints about it not being wholly accurate turned people away. It's such a great movie, so it's a damn shame.

Even if it grosses only 35 mil domestic, that's not a flop.

Steve Jobs is the best movie of the year, so I just wanna see it make some money so it doesn't become forgotten come Oscar nom time.

It's still early. But if Jobs does only 9 mil, I'd blame it on the choice to go limited. A Steve Jobs movie can make money, but you gotta treat it like a mainstream flick as far as marketing goes. The cult of Apple would show up if they knew about it. This is the difference between Fincher and Boyle. Fincher gets big marketing campaigns. Not once did I see the trailer anywhere but at the Angelika (specialty) theater.

Friday's barely half-way over, why are numbers ever released this early?

Everyone look at this. See this? This is what a hater looks like.

I'm sure I'll enjoy it, but I can't for the life of me figure out why Mendes would've wanted to go in a slightly sillier direction after the success of Skyfall.

Really it's probably a smarter idea to tell the story at a slower pace. Jumping from Caesar as a child/young man to Caesar as an old man or even dead doesn't make for good franchise-building.

Wow. Bravo on beating me so far. Although I'm not including any 2014 films I saw in 2015. Anywho... 1. Steve Jobs - A+ 2. Inside Out - A+ 3. Trainwreck - A 4. Sicario - A 5. Mad Max: Fury Road - A- 6. It Follows - A- 7. Straight Outta Compton - A- 8. The Walk - A- 9. The Martian - B+ 10. Scientology and the Prison of Belief - B+ The Visit - B+ The Avengers: Age of Ultron - B+ Tomorrowland - B+ Ted 2 - B+ The End of the Tour - B+ Spy - B Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials - B Black Mass - B Jurassic World - B Slow West - B Paper Towns - B Kingsman: The Secret Service - B Goosebumps - B- Ant-Man - B- Southpaw - B- Furious 7 - B- Chappie - B- Jupiter Ascending - C+ The Cobbler - C+ Maps to the Stars - C+ Get Hard - C+ The Wedding Ringer - C Terminator Genesis - C Area 51 - C Pixels - C- Entourage - C- Aloha - D+ Hot Tub Time Machine 2 - D+ Unfinished Business - D+ Insurgent - D The Transporter Refueled - D Fantastic Four - D-

You have to be heartless to call it sickeningly sweet.

I noticed she uses it more when she's angry. Perhaps it was intentional. She's not supposed to be flown in straight from Poland.

Neither Jobs nor Scully are portrayed as "bad guys." They're complex characters. And this "third act shift" isn't jarring if you were paying attention to Jobs's character through the first two facts. Anyway, my review: https://theitalianimposter.wordpress.com/2015/10/18/steve-jobs-is-genius/

I suppose it is a stretch to call The Walk "big budget," but considering 3D and IMAX you know the studio was hoping for 100 mil. Anyway, I don't think it would've made THAT big of a difference, but I feel like The Martian stole a lot of those adult audiences that show up in the fall.

Is it just me or did Hollywood increase their output this year? I don't remember this many big-budget movies ever being released in September and October. A few, yes. But not this many.

This Fall season is reminding me why Fall used to be a bad time to release movies...it still is to some extent. Kid's movies are always going to do well and it seems like the market can bear at least one adult-skewing breakout (this year it's The Martian), but I feel like with less competition some of these other adult films like The Walk or Everest would've done much better. I think Hollywood kinda got carried away after the success of Gravity and others in recent years, thinking the market could carry all of these big movies.

My personal reservation about this movie is the fact that it's revisiting Skull Island. I'm just not sure how they're going to top the bug pit or the T-Rex battle from Jackson's Kong. That movie as a whole may have been imperfect, but the hour-long sequence on the island was just about perfect.

Haven't actually read his scripts, but every time I see a film written by him I'm inspired and intimidated in equal measure. At once I'm prodded to go write something great and disenfranchised at the fact that I'm not currently anywhere near his level.

Forget Crimson Peak and Bridge of Spies. Go see Steve Jobs. Holy shit it's amazing.

I still read Joblo sometimes, but my god is that an insular site. Nothing but the stereotypical superhero nuts frequent that place, and they're all white hetero men.

To be honest I don't think Del Toro is good enough to be as demanding as he is, and he's not even that demanding compared to some other directors. Haven't seen Crimson Peak yet, but the only film of his that I deemed more than a "decent matinee" was Pan's Labyrinth.

But why?

It's worth seeing in IMAX 3D. I just think the marketing failed it.

Yup. And minus the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Cold War is one of the least interesting conflicts in American history.

Agreed. The guy's been good in stuff like Disturbia, Bobby, Fury, etc. But his personal mishaps are seriously threatening his future in the business. It's almost Lohan territory.

24/75 By the way, can anyone with kids tell me why there's such a huge discrepancy between animated kids movies and live-action kids movies?
