Review of 'MacHeads' Documentary

An anonymous reader writes "Just prior to its premiere at MacWorld later this week, CNet has a review of MacHeads, the new documentary film covering the obsessive world of Apple fanboyism. MacHeads features commentary from original Apple employees, the self-confessed Apple-obsessed and girls who claim they'll never sleep with Windows users. Summed up by CNet: 'MacHeads is a superb film that will give Apple haters a few cheap laughs, and Apple fans a few cheap thrills. But it'll entertain both equally, while educating everybody else.'"

I prefer to stick to more healthy obsessions

...like my obsessive defense of Deep Space 9 as the best of the Trek series.

Yea but they just coppied Babylon 5.
Think about it...
Based on a space station.
The head honcho of the station had a rank of commander then later on there was a captain.
Head Honcho(s) had some deep destiny that they needed to follow controlled by an alien race with supernatural powers who talked in confusing language that only became clear once the events have happened.
A secondary race of aliens who somehow have a more detailed knowledge of these super aliens.
War against a superior race who at first is considered indestructible and later on in the series killing them becomes a piece of cake.
Command of a ship that is brand new. Much smaller then the other ships and cannot be recognized as one of the good guys. But chalk full of shooting goodness. Now with some alien technology that makes it that much more devastating.

It is only the best Trek series because they stole everything from Babylon 5.

DS9 copied everything from another, older show. There was this show called Star Trek back in the 70's. It had a Federation, Star Fleet, transporters, warp drive, phasers, photon torpedoes, Vulcans, Klingons, and there was one episode of DS9 where they even used old footage of Star Trek and digitally added in DS9 characters. T(e)ribble, if you ask me. ;)

Though supposedly welcoming and accepting, it views races like the Ferengi with distrust and even disdain.

And with good reason!! Those ugly swindling bastards would sell their own mothers if it would turn a profit.

Huh.

[Anonymous Coward]

girls who claim they'll never sleep with Windows users

They're probably ugly anyway.

Re:Huh.

[Anonymous Coward]

Doesn't matter, all the Mac users are gay anyway.

c'mon, you knew it was going to be said.

p.s. i'm gay... and anonymous. *phhhhhbt* at mods!

Nothing says "I don't have a personality" like quoting the Simpsons! Please, stop modding this shit funny. If it's funny, then a bird regurgitating food for its babies is FUCKIN' HILARIOUS.

ps- Speaking of not getting laid, anyone know a hot linux-obsessed lesbian?

Yes, and she's looking for another one.

Re:Hmmm...

[bowl_of_petunias]

They do too!

Well, I've heard rumors...

I'm pretty sure...

I can totally prove my point utilizing a clever cartoon and my powers of snarky wit! I just need to find a link...

"MacHeads is a superb film that will give Apple haters a few cheap laughs, and Apple fans a few cheap thrills. But it'll entertain both equally, while educating everybody else."

Wow, that's such a fence-sitting position that it's probably hard on their butts. It's as if they don't want to offend anyone. "While World War II was indeed a deadly conflict, it gave the Allies a few cheap laughs, and the Axis a few cheap thrills, but it'll kill both equally." I think I can use this for my upcoming performance review...

Wrong-O, Big Time

[BenEnglishAtHome]

The os-obsessed person cited in the article as limiting her sex partner options was Violet Blue. Your comment that "the odds of *ever* getting laid are not particularly good for os-obsessed humans" is, in her case, so wrong it's beyond funny.

Violet Blue fans feel free to chime in here.

Hammers totally own. Screwdrivers suck.

Fans and haters

'MacHeads is a superb film that will give Apple haters a few cheap laughs, and Apple fans a few cheap thrills. But it'll entertain both equally, while educating everybody else'

I like this quote. It basically says that if you're not a fan and not a hater, it's because you're not educated properly!

Re:Good God, they're still around?

[spruce]

I'd never sleep with anyone who uses forstner bits!

Re:Hmmm...

[joaommp]

Yes, they do get laid... they're just too humble to tell anyone...

I only sleep with Windows users

[Fear the Clam]

They're used to lousy performance.
No mater how bad the sex is, I just promise that next time it's going to be better than ever and they believe me.
If I "crash" while they're trying to, y'know, get things done, it's no big deal.
They're used to getting boned in the ass.

Re:Educating?

[Gizzmonic]

Serves you right for using Adobe programs.

Re:Good God, they're still around?

[Lars T.]

The typical response of a guy with sucky tools.

Preferences of a Windows guy...

[w0mprat]

Do mac girls only have one nipple?

Re:Hmmm...

[Hatta]

You're assuming all of those qualities are independent. I don't think that's the case. I'd be willing to bet that a linux using female is more likely than average to be a lesbian. That's just my personal bias, but it seems likely that a female who enjoys one stereotypical male behavior (using linux) is probably more predisposed to enjoy another stereotypical male behavior (screwing chicks). I'd also predict that lesbians are less likely to be hot than average, simply because a significant proportion of them are butch.
