Newly discovered Méliès! Amazing! Great bit with the hammer
As Jobs, Michael Fassbender is always playing high status, and he is, most of the time, raising self to lower scene partner. Like a king. Mere mortals are the ones who oscillate between presumed authority and supplication, changing the way they interact with people to suit what they need to get out of conversations. As genius creator-god, Jobs never stoops, never spooks, and never allows his colleagues, friends, or family to believe he even has a low status mode.

Bon anniversaire! Enjoy!
One month later, thank you to everyone who picked up a copy of STEVE JOBS MONOGRAPH. So glad we could deepen our appreciation of this movie together, one perspective at a time.
I’m watching a John Woo flick
I’ve seen 31 short films this year, mostly by pairing them with a feature, and it has greatly enriched my movie experiences
“Charlie Brigden's section on Music is outstanding. Its a section that explains how film scoring is done and how songs are chosen. The long discussion of the versions of Both Sides Now reveals how picking the right version can alter how your film plays.

That platonic ideal of film criticism wherein you come away with both a greater appreciation for the stuff you already liked about the movie and an eagerness to dive back in with eyes for the stuff you missed. Justin Hairston, Goodreads

Appreciate a film for what it is and what it's trying to achieve — that's what Ebert's writing taught me. I'm so pleased to share that STEVE JOBS MONOGRAPH has been excerpted at @ebertvoices.bsky.social. Get a taste of how we've analyzed and appreciated Steve Jobs (2015), one piece at a time:
This was a great opportunity to talk about Boyle right as he reminded me why I so fell in love with his movies in the first place.

Do I need to watch the movie Steve Jobs before I read STEVE JOBS MONOGRAPH?
No. You can: Read the book alone. Watch the movie alone. Watch the movie and then read the book. Read the book and then watch the movie. Watch the movie, read the book, and watch the movie again with a new appreciation. Read the book, invent the version of Steve Jobs in your head that you imagine the movie to be, and leave it at that.
Some people have asked,
You did
