I've never knowingly slept with a Windows user either, except my wife, but she's now fully converted to the Mac. Hallelujah!

I thought "Chimp65" was Ballmer's online sex chat handle.

VistaGrrl: "What are you wearing?"

Chimp65: "Just a whole lot of sweat and a smile, VistaGrrl."

Ok. If this makes Mac users look like a bunch of kooks, or obsessed kool-aid drinking freaks, well are ya gonna pounce on the creators like you do anyone who writes any little thing you disagree with and call them trolls?

@theloniousMac

No. I'm guilty as charged.

You can't take yourself (myself) too seriously or people WILL make fun of you.

Looks like fun! I think I will go see it.

Bless me Steve for I have sinned. It has been 2 years since my last confession.

Last week- I touched a Windows machine... I had to help my sister remove several spyware, scareware and virus programs on her new Compaq/HP laptop that she got only a month ago. I felt dirty so I'm repenting.

I've also knowingly slept with Windows users.

This will not help.

Forgive me Father Jobs, for I have sinned as well. I helped 2 Windoze sufferers over the weekend. They are part of a group of friends, some of whom I have converted to Mac. But these lost sheep need you divine guidance.

I will serve my penance by demonstrating the holy Mac to said heathens. I shall spread thyne word and never miss the opportunity to say "You wouldn't have this problem on a Mac". Thank you, Father. I am unworthy.

Yeah. I'm shaking in my boots. The 11 people that will see this will now call me a nerd.

Oh good grief.

If these people think they're doing the 'Mac community' a favor by producing a movie like this (just think of the movie 'Trekkies') they are quite sadly mistaken.

It's bad right from the get go. This poor lady talks about her dead father and a picture of a monkey pops up on the screen.

What the frell?

Now that the platform is becoming popular again, we'll have to move on. It's just not cool anymore now that EVERYONE has an Apple product, in fact, it's pretty passé. Pens and notepads are the new zeitgeist...

Notepads...Mmmm...

I admit the trailer has a strange mix of characters, but I honestly thought this was going to be a pro-Mac comunity type movie. Was I mistaken? Is this really going to be about making us look like freaks? I hope not, cuz I just advertised that movie on my MUG's mailing list.

It makes Mac heads look like social outcast.

*innocent look* Uh, no... I don't know these people!

Makes us look like a bunch of crackpots.

I actually, knowingly slept with a Mac-girl once. Once.Do you get it ? Once.
Now I only screw Dell-users running Vista.

Your potential. Our passion.™

Is it me or is Shawn King starting to look like Shrek?

Jan 23, 08 - 03:23 pm Comment from: 84 Mac Guy

I think you all are taking this thing a bit to seriously. The trailer looks cute and it brought a smile to my face. If we can't make fun of ourselves we are no better than Windows users.

Jan 23, 08 - 03:27 pm Comment from: CheekyGit

The woman at 0:35 sounds she has geek-fetish.

Mac virgins rejoice!!! There is NOW a woman willing to shag a geek.

Jan 23, 08 - 03:27 pm Comment from: Mac-nugget

Just like any other extreme, it can get pretty freaky.

Jan 23, 08 - 03:27 pm Comment from: Bogus Jimmy

The production qualities all looked reasonable, except for the choice of font. Made it look like it was make with Windows Movie Maker (maybe I'm agreeing with the MDN take).

Jan 23, 08 - 03:30 pm Comment from: Micro Me

On the face of it, MDN is right. It's a movie designed to make us look like diphead cultists.

If it were not for the fact that our "movement" is based on excellent computer technology, I might care.

@ Zune Tang®

Did you have to keep rebooting her?

How many extra "accessories" did you have to buy to make her run smoothly?

Zune Tang's money. Her boredom.

Funny, all the Mac Heads I know are intelligent, attractive 30-somethings - oddly many with MBAs - who would not characterize the views of that trailer as their own.

For me, the true essence of Mac Users is best exemplified by people like the late great Tera Patricks of Mac360 (may she rest in peace) and ChrissyOne...remarkably bright, witty, charming, articulate, eloquent, helpful, and just plain FUN! They make life more fun and pleasant for others...just like the Mac does!

I hope this spirit comes across in this movie.

This sucks.

The big one.

Col. Angus only screws Windows users, reserving sexual intercourse for MacGirls. MW: quality.

Can we say "Rational-Emotive therapy"?
(Check the DSM, it's in there).

I think this film will be a good opportunity for me to take in the bigger picture of the Apple culture as a whole. Do I think there ARE goofballs in the Apple culture, YES. Do I think there are goofballs in the PC world? HECK YES. (There's one that shows up here all the time.)

"What's up! PC home movie"

Zune Tang®

If you screw dell users of Vista, does that mean you work for MicroSOFT?

Zune Tang®

With your passion and potential, screwing for you must be like watching someone trying to shoot pool with a rope. Please keep us updated on your growing potential. heh heh

g'day

I'm sure making a movie about average mac users would be very exciting to watch, breakout the popcorn. Oh and MDN guy, your more of a Apple freak than a mac freak!

@ theloniousMac

If we're kooks, what the hell are you?

Jan 23, 08 - 06:44 pm Comment from: LorD1776

This didn't bother me. I'd like to see the movie.

Jan 23, 08 - 07:00 pm Comment from: Zune Tang®

Looks like a horror movie.

Your potential. Our passion.™

Jan 23, 08 - 07:18 pm Comment from: Zune Tang®

What I'm waiting for is DellHeads the movie. This is a truly interesting segment of technology enthusiasts and I expect boffo box office hysteria.

I hear they're going to show Ditty fanatics syncing their music player with Napster and a Dell laptop user who does a Powerpoint presentation! Suck it, MAC dorks.

Your potential. Our passion.™

Jan 23, 08 - 08:04 pm Comment from: LorD1776

Z.T.,

Cut out the sweet talk. You're embarrassing us, you little devil.

This is bad!

If it weren't funded by Microsoft, it might as well have!!!

Mac = Nerdy????

"The woman at 0:35 sounds she has geek-fetish."

That's Violet Blue, the Mac fan who got snubbed by Steve at the recent MacWorld.

She's hot.

You'll never see "PC Heads, The Movie". Why would people pay good money to see frustrated Windows users crying over their keyboards in front of the B.S.O.D.? Or another PC flying out of the first available open window?

The computer-using public doesn't want to revisit their bitterly painful daily work experiences on the big screen. You go to the movies to ESCAPE.

Peace.

P.S. I hope some bruthas are in Macheads; they need to come see ME.

Jan 23, 08 - 10:41 pm Comment from: Zune Tang®

Olmecmystic, when you say "they need to come see ME" you're talking about Windows ME, right?

When they make the DellHeads movie I hope they spend some time going over Windows ME on a Dell OptiPlex™. It would be a fascinating study of how people interacted with Microsoft Excel to make some truly amazing spreadsheets. Those were good times.

Maybe someday there with be spreadsheet software for MAC.

Your potential. Our passion.™

violet blue: PC users heave a sigh of relief

Weak. Looks dated. Ignore.

Everyone I know with a Mac is 20 something and mildly photogenic.

Who brought out all the Mac granolas for this?

And multicolor Apple logo tatoos? How 1980s!

Uh, Oh, did anyone clear this with El Jobso?

This isn't a film about the Apple community.

It's a film about a small subset of extremely delusional people within the Apple community, primarily those who are over 40 with sideburns or scraggly beards, live small lives, and wear shippy hats.

Didn't you know the Mac is essentially Ben and Jerry's computer?

The title sums up the films intent: MacHeads.

It says let me patronize you.

Plenty of people love Macs, myself included, but they don't act that stupid.

Show how people let the Mac change their life, not how people ruin their lives or look foolish in the name of it!

And there is no Mac community anymore. Not a unified one at least.

Now everybody's coming over. My mother's in it now. Even my Dad. One of them knows nothing about the history or any community. Come on!

Genius Bar = community? Don't think so.

Now there are just users and a dedication to the great technology Apple produces. It's a business transaction with some love added in.

no wonder everyone thinks macusers are idiots

by the look of that pathetic pos movie - they are
