And teenage boy. It doesn't take a genius to put Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet's boobies in a movie, but apparently nobody thought of that.

I really liked Synecdoche, and I think I'm the only one on the panel. Make it make sense is a tall order, but.

That one I have read, and loved. I think I even loaned it to Trey.

But I think he's talking about screenwriting books.

You don't like The Aviator? How can anyone not like The Aviator?

I agree with what you're saying about the in-universe sketches not being riotously funny, but that doesn't bother me, because they're not really a part of the show. The most we ever see of one is about thirty seconds.

A point of contention there is that almost every time we see a part of a sketch, it's in or followed with the context that Matt (genius writer character) doesn't like it and it needs work.

As such, I don't think it's a failing of the premise.

I agree that the pilot is very strong, and in the back half of the 22 episode run, things tend to play to Sorkin's strong points (IE, a five episode story arc about one of the cast members' brother being missing in a war zone) but by that point, I'm so involved in the huge, likable cast that I don't care.

Furthermore, I agree that the essential problem with the series is that Sorkin tends to take shit very seriously, and fill a situation with smart people - and that in comedy, it's more difficult to buy than in politics. (Insert joke here.) This trajectory even seems to continue; the last thing he wrote was The Facebook Movie, which I read and enjoyed, but felt that problem's presence in.

However, as seriously as it takes its characters, I think it's a deeply enjoyable show, with a much higher frequency of brilliance than almost any other program since The West Wing's first four seasons.

In other words, I mostly agree with Mike, however I can't recommend the show enough.

And, not as a competitor to Studio 60 but as its own show, I still can't believe anybody can watch 30 Rock.

That's how Brian writes!

Heyo!

But seriously, he's a good writer.

It's not expressly stated in the Movies forum, so my bad, but that one is for discussions of the flicks we've already done. And Being John Malkovich would be a really good episode, good call. Welcome to the forums.

Got some things resolved, we can now see Stickies, etc.. I can't for my life figure out how to change the color of the info text on the post page, which right now is blue on blue. It's probably related to the blue-on-blue when you register, as well, so I see that as something of a problem. If anyone can really sort through CSS and figure that bit out, I'd appreciate it.

Nice. Did you do the 3D Earth in the beginning?

Also, I'm sure you know, but you spelled "academy" wrong in the first moment of the video.

Overall, nice work. Assembling things like this always has a hundred hidden headaches.
