west wing is empty non political idealism and house of cards is empty non political nihilism

i tried watching west wing and the very first episode involved president martin sheen bringing a bunch of evangelical leaders into a conference room and owning them with their own logic. that was as far as i got

that's the only way sorkin knows to establish a protagonist

I had a friend who gave me the Newsroom on a usb stick and was all "check it out, you'll love it". I got halfway through that speech before pulling the usb stick out of my computer and stamping it to bits. It's so bad it made me angry. Like, autistic angry. Newsroom gave me autism.

this guy is cool

there's 0 self awareness with sorkin. martin sheen's been pretty clear in interviews that hollywood is incestuous.

he of all people would know

seems like a lot of celebs end up banging their kid's nannies (Jude law, Schwarzenegger, etc)

I read somewhere that it might have to do with an emotional attraction that men form with whatever woman they see raising their children, but it might just be that there's an epidemic of hot nannies out there

it's probably both. lots of out of work actresses need income and taking care of stars' kids pays the bills pretty well i'd guess

I want to write a sorkin scene where somebody talks smugly at trump and then he just says lol no.

the "great scene" of the series, where bartlet curses out god in latin at the national cathedral and rattles off his accomplishments, is hilarious

he lists a scotus appointment among them, as if the almighty creator gives a poo poo about who's on the federal bench

gently caress that show, it sucked from day one and the sopranos should retroactively be given all the emmys the west wing won
