Aaron Sorkin really is on Facebook. There's a group where he answers fan questions and everything. But the reason he has a group on Facebook is because he's writing a movie about the creation of Facebook. What the fuck?
I'm conflicted. On the one hand, we have one of my favorite TV and movie writers. On the other hand, we have a pop-culture website that I despise. And perhaps -- as with things like "The Lord of the Rings" movie trilogy or the Harry Potter series -- on completely baseless terms. But still. Facebook? Really?
Still, if there's one person I trust with the task of writing a Facebook movie, it's Aaron Sorkin. Or Charlie Kaufman. Or Mitch Hurwitz. But that's about it.
Speaking of Aaron Sorkin, he wrote a cool piece for the New York Times. It's an imaginary dialogue between Barack Obama and President Bartlett from "The West Wing." Man, that guy can write.
