So I just finished the first season of The West Wing (DAMN YOU CLIFFHANGERS!! I'm just about to run down to the library and grab the second season right now.) and I have a couple things...

1) SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!! So damn good.
2) Elizabeth Moss and Jorja Fox were so much with the good looking back then. Not to say they aren't now, but yaaaawooowza. Also... Janel Moloney, Marlee Matlin, Allison Smith...Bradley Whitford...the list goes on. Generally a very attractive cast, must be said.
4)Bradley Whitford is all sorts of awesome.
5) SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.
6) So... the cult of Aaron Sorkin eh? Watching those behind the scenes features got a little unnerving after a couple minutes.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, for about the first 10 or so minutes of the behind the scenes features on season 1, the cast and crew are all talking about the season and making it and all that jazz. But there's this thread of...like...DEVOTION to the almighty genius of Sorkin permeating the entire thing. Like at one point Martin Sheen literally says "Once I stopped trying to do my own thing and just said EXACTLY what Aaron had written on the page, that's when everything started working. And once I learned that discipline, everything worked perfectly, and I became Bartlet." (Or something in that sentiment at least) and everyone has something to that effect.

@Anyone who knows, is that just a Sorkin thing that follows him around, or was that kind of amped up by the editors of the BTS thing? Cause it got a little cultish by the end there.

/Why yes, I have done multiple 23+ hour days this week.... and just got home from work...and am very tired. Thank you.

JMS also wrote episodes of He-Man and The Real Ghostbusters

Some episodes of He-Man still hold up. Not as much as Dungeons and Dragons (damn that show was great) but there is still some good stuff in there.

And The Real Ghostbusters had some scary moments and I still love it

I dunno but I want some

Ahhh, one of my favourite movies.

I think I'm in the minority in really liking Benjamin Button. Didn't DiF do a commentary that was lost to the ages? The Forrest Gump comparison is fair, but the original short story came out long before the book Forrest Gump. I also think that Benjamin Button is a far more introspective, thematically resonant film, even if that framing narrative feels tacked on.

Excuse me while I put my pedant's hat on.....there we go......Hong Kong Phooey is not Looney Tunes, it's Hanna-Barbera.

And thank fuck that ain't getting made, it looks awful. And the cat is supposed to be striped, he is called Spot, that's the gag......
