I was going to let this go, but, Nunzio notwithstanding, going against one's personality is often unhealthful.
JB writes: "Aaron Sorkin ain't Shakespeare or Stoppard, but--you can't HANDLE the truth."
How did Demi Moore put it? I object. No, I strenuously object. "A Few Good Men" is entertaining, but it telegraphs all its punches and it's wildly implausible. Cruise is a lazy, softball-playing deal-making lawyer who turns out to be a better trial lawyer than his legendary father, who was Attorney General of the United States. Okay, Sorkin. And why the hell didn't Meathead (his CA cigarette tax pisses me off to no end) squeeze a nude scene out of Demi Moore? To see her looking her all-time best, rent "About Last Night, which was based on a play by David Mamet, who is ten times the writer Sorkin is.
Sorkin also wrote the screenplay for "The American President," which Reiner also directed. This movie was a harbinger to "The West Wing." It's a saccharine, wimpy, two-inches-left-of-center paean to Clintonism and its gory offspring. It signalled the death of dialectic, the death of politics, the death of all that was good. Sorkin sucks. But you're right about "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" and Stoppard in general.
