Tambo Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 No, I have never seen Sports Night, but I will keep my eye out for it now. Big Aaron Sorkin fan here, although I wasn't too impressed with Charlie Wilson's War. It was a decent film, but not really anything outstanding or memorable about it.

Peacefield Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I have the lone season for Studio 60 on DVD. It's hard to explain, but it just makes me feel good to watch it. It has the great Sorkin writing, and for all I care I could watch Bradley Whitford stand still for hours upon end and I would still think he was dreamy, lol. I also liked seeing Matthew Perry in a character other than Chandler. He was in about 3 or 4 WW episodes as well, playing a lawyer (in one of my fave episodes btw, Evidence of Things Not Seen). I've not watched Sports Night either, but it has been recommended to me by many a WW fan. I think I'll need to rent them soon. Also, wasn't Will Bailey from TWW in it? I have the same feelings about Charlie Wilson's War, Tambo. Loved parts of it and especially loved Philip Seymour Hoffman's character, but didn't think the film as a whole was anything special. Did any of you see 'The American President?' It seems like I heard that Sorkin modeled TWW after it. Martin Sheen plays the Chief of Staff B) Excellent film!

beef Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I watched Studio 60, and quite enjoyed it. It was nice to see Matthew Perry play a regular role that wasn't Chandler. Have you ever seen Sports Night? It was made before West Wing, but was an Aaron Sorkin show. He has also recently starred in a movie called "numb" where he plays a guy who goes through depersonilization. Tis a very interesting movie. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0795439/ quote that was much more funny to me than it should have been: Hudson: I watched the golf channel for 23 hours yesterday. Dr. Townsend: Why golf? Hudson: I don't know. I find it comforting. It's green. People are whispering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have almost all of his movies. Ah, Benicio! I love him . I would watch him in 'Traffic' every day if I could, lol. There is a movie he was in with Alicia Silverstone called 'Excess Baggage' (very cheesy film, not one of my faves). Have you seen that one Ruth? His character was so cute!

Ruth Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I have seen it - I think he's such a fab actor (and I have a long standing crush on him too, I must admit). 21 Grams is one of my favourite movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylie Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Is he a good singer? I'm a big fan of Johnny Depp as well. I've seen him in: Benny and Joon What's Eating Gilbert Grape? Pirates of the Carribbean (1 & 2) Edward Scissorhands Don Juan DeMarco Ed Wood Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Sleepy Hollow Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Finding Neverland I loved him most in the first 4 (counting Pirates as 1). He's such a versatile actor isn't he? When you watch him as Captain Jack Sparrow, you can't believe it's the same person who played Gilbert Grape or Ichabod Crane. I haven't seen Sweeney Todd yet because I'm worried it'll be too scary for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
