Movie review for the day (Jobs)

When the ladyfriend asked if Rico wanted to see Jobs, he said sure, why not? After all, he worked for the guy.
The movie starred Ashton Kutcher as Steve Jobs (which is funny because he plays a retired, and very wealthy, computer geek on Two and a Half Men), along with all the other players in the saga:
Dermot Mulroney as Mike Markkula
Josh Gad as Steve Wozniak
Lukas Haas as Daniel Kottke
Matthew Modine as John Sculley (if taller and handsomer than Sculley actually was)
J.K. Simmons as Arthur Rock
Lesley Ann Warren as Clara Jobs (Steve's mom)
Victor Rasuk as Bill Fernandez
Kevin Dunn as Gil Amelio (almost as useless as Sculley)
James Woods as Jack Dudman
Nelson Franklin as Bill Atkinson
Eddie Hassell as Chris Espinosa (who, along with his mom, Sue, was Rico's boss at Apple)
Elden Henson as Andy Hertzfeld
Giles Matthey as Jonathan Ive
and Annika Bertea as Lisa Jobs (she of the computer of the same name)
Rico says that he met a lot of these people in the time he was there, but the movie kinda ends in the middle of the story, leaving out Steve's time at Next, his return in triumph, and his eventual (and avoidable, if he hadn't been so fucking arrogant and found out he had the one kind of pancreatic cancer that was treatable) death.
