SAM: I don't like Gaghan (Stephen Gaghan, writer and director of SYRIANA; writer of TRAFFIC).
Especially after SYRIANA. That movie felt like the cool kids read a magazine article and decided to make a movie.
SM: Exactly. I like him even less when I saw him in the coffee bean on the Lot last week and he had one of those big LL Bean canvas bags with his initials monogrammed in them. I mean really? Who does he think he is?
SAM: Hahaha...
At one of those screenwriting panels, I once got Aaron Sorkin to sign a copy of the first five scripts of the West Wing for my mother, and while signing, he complimented Stephen Gaghan, sitting next to him, on the realism of the free-basing scenes in Traffic. My innocence took a hit there. Thanks, Aaron!
That's all I got.
