The Social Network's cover guy

First of all I am a huge Aaron Sorkin Fan, though I disagree with his outlook on quite a few important issues, I respect his intelligence and sincerity.

This guy wrote "A Few Good Men", "The American President", and created "West Wing", which if my conservative friends had watched, they'd have realized that all progressives are not just socialist monsters.

More the reason for blogging here on Mr. Sorkin, is his talent. This man writes brilliantly, engagingly, with earnestness. Even when I don't agree I see it was no fool who came to the conclusions this man genuinely believes in. As for the people he may villify, though I may agree with some of their political points, Mr Sorkin really defines their shortcomings brilliantly and accurately.

He is a great writer and as good as human beings get, IMHOToday. He writes women well, though he may deify them a bit, and he writes a man's man just as well. The guy is definitely a romantic, and he writes with intimacy for his characters. I'll bet he knows what each character would order for dressing on their salad. At the end of the "West Wing" series, he closely covered both Right and Left parties during an election year and showed the candidates as real men; neither as pure hero, or as villain. Though it was just a TV show, I admire him so much and saw more balance and objectivity, than in any real life media coverage of anything!.

He may be sentimental but the guy is no slouch. He is far from a pushover and I guarantee those who are his friends, know they have a good friend for life. Just my hunch, since I am not in the loop.

He has written a new screenplay for "The Social Network", a movie about creators of Facebook. I was intrigued by the trailer I saw, but undecided about seeing it until I realized Sorkin was involved.

Sorkin will be writing and directing next, based on a book about John Edwards, written by the aide who first claimed responsibility as father for Edwards' child born out of wedlock. I am really excited to see what this great mind does in this context, with such a flawed man at the center of his film. According to his IMDB.com this will be his directorial debut, and I can't wait to see how this plays out.
