“ Most guys, we can recite all of The Godfather, we can recite all of Caddyshack, we can do those kinds of things. Women, by and large, can’t. You guys can say “you complete me”, and that’s about it. And I think it’s because in the history of movies, there have been fewer quotable lines spoken by actresses than actors.

AARON SORKIN: STOP MAKING ME HATE YOU RIGHT NOW

(via jukeboxgraduate)

I don’t think I’ve ever seen/read a Sorkin interview where he doesn’t say something asinine. The gulf between my love of West Wing and dislike of Sorkin as a thinker is wide and deep.

BTW, the video where he says all this dunderheaded stuff is here. The bit starts at about 16:00.
