The twist, supposedly, for this new Jobs biopic, which is directed by Danny Boyle and written by Aaron Sorkin, is that the whole film is set at and around three different Apple product launches. (Kutcher’s version featured a more traditional biopic structure).
If there's one thing Kanye West loves to do, it's talk about Kanye West. Which, if you let him (or even if you don't), he will do at length. Because as God told his second son, Yeezus, "It's cool, dude. You're the branches that feed the people."
So in a very long New York Times interview to promote his new album, Kanye West opened up about being the best Grammy winner ever, not understan
