  • I don't tend to go to "quiet" movies in the theater, so haven't seen this one either...

    What did you think of Fassbender's performance?

    Started noticing him rising above his material back in X-Men: First Class and on through 12 Years. Then started noticing him in lesser roles when I re-watched things from Band Of Brothers to 300 to Inglourius Basterds.

    Anyway seems to be a promising actor and Jobs looked to be a big step for him...

  • I thought he was great. That's a demanding role like I said.

    Oddly enough I loved X Men First Class at respected 300.

    Loved inglorious bastards and hated 12 years.

  • I read the walter Isaacson biography which was just fascinating. I can't imagine any movie doing it justice. And got what it's worth I was a pc/windows guy and now I'm a pc/linux guy. I don't do mac.

  • if you're not creative, you wouldn't need a mac.

    mac is the industry standard for running the adobe creative suite and it's final cut pro is the industry standard in film editing. (3d is a diff story).... even though jobs was a co-founder in pixar.

    all my friends know i'm a mac guy even though my first computer was an amiga 2000 which had the capability of running 2 platforms, but have been buying and using apple products since the 80s.

    the mac changed everything AND put a lot of companies out of work. first job out of the army was at a type and design house in boston. 300k worth of typesetting equipment made obsolete with the launch of the first mac and the program pagemaker.

    DOH!!

    btw, if you haven't seen 'the counselor' with fassbender......pretty intense movie.

  • On the contrary, I have recorded every one of my solo CDs on a PC audio production by a company called Studiocat.

    Advances in technology and software have come a long long way over the past few decades.

  • One amusing story is from a fellow I met who had worked for a movie studio in LA. He said they worked on the soundtracks on a Macintosh but had to go next door where there was a PC to email the client.

    Linux has an answer for Adobe. Mac is essentially linux with an idiot proof interface.

    yes.

    most guis are and were idiot proof, since '87.

    i know. but it's the whole 'steadfastness' of the users that keep this debate going like the DA vs QUINN factions.

    was weened on a mac and love the mother's milk. using my girl's pc is like trying to solve a rubik's cube. i'm sure it's easy enough for people that do it everyday but to me it's backwards. you can run top notch software on either platform. just used to the mac and thought woz and jobs were geniuses.

    never liked bill gates since the day i met him......(which is never)......

  • He may had been not a nice guy while he lived but. He really had changed the way over in the tech world.

    Well I'm older than you aND my hearing is right between Beethoven and Pete Townshend.

    My hardware is the Roland V 700 and the analog digital converters are pretty good. If I had a thousand bucks to throw around I'd get an Avalon.
