If you have epilepsy I recommend not staring at that gif - it wasn't until I posted it that I realized what a strobe effect that sucker was having. But since it's our first best look at Michael Fassbender doing Steve Jobs in the movie called Steve Jobs from Danny Boyle, I suppose it's important. Sorry for your seizures, everybody.

The trailer dropped yesterday and somehow I ended up watching it several times within a couple of hours - it wasn't on purpose even! Something like the Slow West trailer with Fassy in long-johns, that I watch several times on purpose. But this, once is enough, ya know? But I watched it once without sound and then I realized I needed to hear it so I watched it with sound, and then my boyfriend wanted to watch it, and then it turned up during Mad Men about ten minutes later. Point being, I feel as if I know this trailer like the back of my masturbation hand now.

My love for Michael & Kate Winslet (and Seth Rogen, to a lesser degree) and Danny Boyle is aiding me in my wariness towards the script being an Aaron Sorkin joint - I find Sorkin endlessly insufferable. But that said the snippets of dialogue heard in this trailer, already exhaustively spelling out Big Themes, are raising some hackles. Hackles raised! Watch the trailer your damn self and tell me what you think...
