The Onion| New 'West Wing' Animated Series*Sigh*
SAN DIEGO—On day two of the 2008 San Diego SorCon, the biggest Aaron Sorkin convention in the world, screenwriter and producer Aaron Sorkin revealed plans for his next project, an animated continuation of his most popular franchise, The West Wing.
"I'm excited to bring my Emmy Award–winning writing to the field of animation," Sorkin said in a speech before approximately 30,000 screaming fans, many of whom were dressed up in the business-suit costumes of their favorite Sorkin characters. "[A]animation technology will enable us to provide fans with extended 40-minute walk-and-talks, digitally compressed dialogue for faster delivery, and a cast of over 70 main characters."
...The pilot ends, Sorkin said, with a 15-minute speech from President Santos about holding unpopular ideals.
"And I can promise SorCon that there will be at least two filibusters in the first season."
"[w]hat was any art but ... a sheath, a mould in which to imprison for a moment the shining, elusive element which is life itself - life hurrying past us and running away, too strong to stop, too sweet to lose." - Willa Cather, Song of the Lark

I dunno, B. I don't even know if I'd watch that. And I'm the one who payed good money to own Battlefield Earth.
Debating which is more scandalous, owning BE or admitting to owning it... Hmmm.
Well, better to get it out in the open, rather than let it be a dirty little secret. Look what that did to John Edwards, after all.
Does it help or hurt my case that I also own Ed Wood's Plan 9 From Outer Space and Highlander II: The Quickening?
