i can appreciate that jim carrey was indeed, quite good in this film, and possibly could use the word "brilliant" to describe the perfomance.
i could also enjoy a lively debate over which is/was the better performer, carrey or kaufman.
however, it is not possible to call carrey a bigger legand than kaufman (regardless of your feelings or opinions) based on the simple fact that the world has been talking about kaufman for 30 years.
i personally enjoyed the film, because for years i have been trying to figure out if i love andy or hate him (some of the things he said about women in the late 70' and early 80's made my skin crawl)...
but watching the film helped me make up my mind (and not because of carrey's acting nor because of zmuda's spin on it all). i realized that you can't help but admire the fact that whether serious or joking- damn, that guy was committed. i mean he started someting and carried it through, fully invested. that's pretty amazing.
i have a qube2 and i have to say, i really like the principle....
however, i am attempting to use it as a file server for an all-macintosh network (which they claim cross-compatibility allows) and their version of atalk is faulty. it changes creation dates of files and directories (each time you touch or open a file, the directory date changes... from year 1939 to 1969 to 2015 to 2131 for example). which makes it a pretty useless file server.
furthermore, running a backup of the files touches the files, so every day it appears as if all files have been modified, and they are all backed up again not just the files that really have been modified. this can be pretty annoying on a 13.2 GB hd.
as a stand alone product, i'm farily content. however, for me it is pretty useless. i have heard from their seriously lacking tech support that they know about it, but aren't seriously persuing a fix.
oh well. so much for cross-platform compatibility.
