It’s not that hard picturing Sorkin as an older version of Eisenburg’s Zuckerburg. Who would be surprised Sorkin would relate to the characters?

I know it isn’t important and I shouldn’t care, but Mr. White hated it. So I guess it will be good.

“less of an indictment.”
Indictment for what? For being incredibly successful? For being young? For not going to rehab?
Aaron is very right about one thing though. Mark’s donation should not be ridiculed. At $100 million it is beyond any PR moves – it is a sizable and rare contribution. It is sad that some people care less about the impact than they are about putting the man down.
And, just to note, it’s 1.25% of his net worth. It’ll do a TON of good and should be appreciated, but it’s no skin off his back.

Andrew,
No doubt. A negative review by White is like a four star review by any of the top critics. In fact, it’s gotten to the point where I think Rotten Tomatoes and the like should just invert his reviews. If he trashes it, it should count as a fresh review, and vice versa.
It’d be truly amazing if some day studios would quote him on their posters too, to get to a point where it’s universally understood that his loathing is like the greatest recommendation ever.

Aaron Sorkin is like a well coifed Val Kilmer

I’m definitely going to delve into a lot more of their interviews this weekend.
Haha Graysmith, I could defiantly see them do that.
