Says the guy who got caught trying to bring magic mushrooms onto a commercial flight when he was forty.
Aaron Sorkin's conception of maturity has nothing to do with actual maturity and everything to do with his own stupid political fetishes.
Just a reminder that this is what Aaron Sorkin thinks being cool and attractive looks like. An old white guy pulling out an acoustic guitar at a funeral.
The core problem with Aaron Sorkin as an electoral politics guru is the core problem with Studio 60 and The Newsroom: The man is resolutely convinced that everybody likes whatever it is that he happens to like.
And I mean, I happen to kind of like Jeff Daniels playing acoustic guitar myself. I, like Aaron Sorkin and Jeff Daniels, am an old white guy.
But I don't assume that *everybody* likes Jeff Daniels playing acoustic guitar, and I wouldn't write a scene whose emotional core was a couple of dozen people of varying ages, genders, and races coming together as one to swoon over Jeff Daniels playing acoustic guitar.
Aaron Sorkin believes that Jeff Daniels playing acoustic guitar would win the 2020 presidential election in a historic landslide, because Aaron Sorkin does not realize that other people are not him.
Oh, and no, I didn't say, and don't think, that taking 'shrooms is bad. What I said was that if you're the kind of guy who gets kicked off of a plane for 'shrooms when you're forty, you probably shouldn't be yelling at the kids to get off your lawn when you're sixty.
