    Why are people in the comment section asking about Billie Eillish’s interview?

    It’s interesting how casually he describes writing A Few Good Men, without any military background that he mentions. It’s unusual for someone who hasn’t been in that world to be able to write a story in it so confidently.

      It was based on a story his sister told him who was JAG for a similar case (that didn’t result in death).

    Come on Vanity Fair. Get Aaron to talk about Moneyball. It is an important movie and one of his best.

    I’m sorry. You made this video without any mention of To Kill a Mockingbird? I know there’s a lot and you have to edit, but adapting the greatest American novel for the Broadway stage seems like a big one to skip over. Granted, the adaptation was plagued by years of legal drama with Harper Lee’s estate…so maybe that’s why?

    Chicago 7 was an amazing movie! It was fascinating learning about this big part of history that was skipped in school! And incredibly relevant in 2020. One of the best movies I have seen in years!

      I think I’ve watched it four times now. It’s blown my mind.

    I see The Newsroom in a whole new way now, and understand why he was disappointed with it (although it’s one of my favorite shows of all time).

    “…and in a stunning anticlimax – me.” God, even the way he talks is Sorkin.

    TALENT. Sad he didn’t rate The Newsroom. I think I know what he means buy it’s still better than 99%. Loved it Same with Studio 60.
