"I'm not pretending to have it. I know that I don't have it. I phonetically create the sound of smart people talking to each other. I'm not one of them. The characters I create would have no use for me."Bill Klappnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6745003136564123305.post-42168078804861616882012-07-07T08:59:28.896-07:002012-07-07T08:59:28.896-07:00Hey Bill,

Every actor on that show spoke in exactly the same cadence and style. Most of the time, they could have switched lines with each other and it wouldn't have made a difference. Drove me nuts. Sorkin only hears one voice in his head, and it's the one he loves, his own.<br /><br />Yeah, I'm stateside for the next twenty years, then in Hell after that. For good.

However, as great as he was, one can only wonder how much more inspired and brilliant Chayefsky's work might have been had he, too, done magic mushrooms, crack and a few hot starlets! (Gee, I hope that Sorkin is not a regular around here. I don't want to hurt the guy's feelings!) Actually, stateside for three more weeks, then in the Piemonte for 6 months.

Just once in my life I'd like to write something as smart as "Network" or "Hospital." Sorkin's stuff always sounds great the first time, but after that, it's that needle stuck on your LP that keeps playing the same thing over and over and over and over and over...<br /><br />Paddy C. was a genius.
