I’m seriously emotional over this pen storyline.

Only Aaron Sorkin could write lines about a pen that make me tear up.

synecdoche: what if i make t-shirts for my nonexistent band I would listen to this band. “The White House has been instructed by Congress to compile a list of 400 government reports that should be eliminated as they serve little purpose and cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars. We’ll assume, though, the modifier was dangling, they mean the reports serve little purpose, not Congress itself.” - Josh Lyman

Addendum: Josh Lyman falling over at the beginning of “In the Shadow of Two Gunmen” is what brings tears to my eyes.

The end of “What Kind of Day Has it Been” still gets me

Every. Time.

Liberals got women the right to vote. Liberals got African Americans the right to vote. Liberals created Social Security and lifted millions of elderly people out of poverty. Liberals ended segregation. Liberals passed the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act. Liberals created Medicare. Liberals created the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act. What did conservatives do? They opposed every single one of those things. Every one. So when you try to hurl that label at my feet, ‘liberal’, as if it were something to be ashamed of, something dirty, something to run away from, it won’t work, because I will pick up that label and I will wear it as a badge of honor.

friendship

thewordunheard:realrealsoft:

This guy’s walking down a street, when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep, he can’t get out.

A doctor passes by, and the guy shouts up, “Hey you! Can you help me out?” The doctor writes him a prescription, throws it down the hole, and moves on.

Then a priest comes along, and the guy shouts up, “Father, I’m down in this hole! Can you help me out?” The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole, and moves on.

Then a friend walks by. “Hey Joe, it’s me, can you help me out?” And the friend jumps in the hole! Our guy says “Are you stupid? Now we’re both down here!” And the friend says, “Yeah, but I’ve been down here before, and I know the way out.”

-Aaron Sorkin (Episode #32, The West Wing)

Sometimes I’m really sad that I’ve already seen The West Wing because there is nothing like watching The West Wing for the first time.

Watching The West Wing for the first time is magical.

(via:synecdoche) I will be forever saddened by the fact that my life isn’t as well written as Aaron Sorkin’s scripts.

Revenge of the Nerd | Film Comment

alexandra-ewing:

Consider the movie’s opening—a soon-to-be-classic breakup scene in which soon-to-be Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) verbally machine-guns his soon-to-be ex-girlfriend Erica (Rooney Mara) with a rant about the difficulty of distinguishing oneself  “in a crowd of people who all got 1600 on their SATs.” From there it’s on to his conflicted feelings about that peculiar Harvard institution known as “final clubs,” elite secret societies that, sops to diversity notwithstanding, remain decidedly inhospitable to monomaniacal, borderline Asperger’s cases like Zuckerberg. As he holds forth, his face contorted into a tightly focused stare, looking through Erica rather than at her, she tries to keep up. “Dating you is like dating a Stairmaster,” she laments before delivering the delicious coup de grace: “Listen. You’re going to be successful and rich, but you’re going to go through life thinking that girls don’t like you because you’re a geek. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won’t be true. It’ll be because you’re an asshole.”

THIS. An excellent line.

Gay actors are in absolutely no danger of losing parts in Broadway shows, so if it were me, I’d re-direct my anger to the real problem. The honest-to-God, no kidding around, small-minded, mean-spirited, hysterically frightened, pig-ignorant bigots who don’t think homosexuals are fit to get married, adopt children or fight and die for their country. The ones who hold signs saying “God Hates Fags.” Those people aren’t in the backwoods of Idaho, they’re in Congress. Fight THEM. I’ll help. And you know who else will help? Ramin Setoodeh. I promise you he’s on the side of the good guys.

Aaron Sorkin on the whole Newsweek/Sean Hayes thing. Did everyone read this yet? Everyone should probably read this. And 99% of Glee/Chenoweth worshipers aren’t going to agree, but that’s okay, and you should read it anyway. (via synecdoche)
