If you call yourself an Aaron Sorkin fan, you're going to love this 'Sorkinisms' supercut. Unfortunately, you may well also hate it.
The reason for the mixed emotions is because this seven minutes masterclass in Sorkinese - that's right, seven whole minutes - revealed just how much the Oscar-winning writer of The Social Network, The West Wing and, um, Charlie Wilson's War uses the writing technique known as "Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V".
Of course, he doesn't actually copy and paste phrases like "Eyes front, mister!" or "As a great man once said..." but it's fascinating to learn that Mr. Sorkin has these same lines and thoughts and words circling about his brain as he types away at his computer.
After all, if it ain't broke, don't fix it - though the reviews for his latest TV effort, The Newsroom, suggest he may want to fix it a little bit...
