Was it a lot like Sorkin's other work?

I didn't know Sorkin was writing plays. That sounds very cool.

I thought you'd seen the new Futurama's and they were about to be released on DVD. Imagine now, how disappointed I am.

it's in previews at the moment, so i think they're still trying to nail down some of the timing with the dialogue, but the quick and witty back and forths are definitely there, and the overall theme seemed to be 'corporate involvement is destroying media,' so, yeah, i'd say it's fairly 'sorkin-y.'

seanyboy - it's out in November in the US (playusa.com have it) but apparently not in the UK until 2008. Which is weird as it's apparently a Christmas-themed film.

I worked with Farnsworth (the inventor's son, not the inventor himself).

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely get a ticket now.
