Joss Whedon’s New Job
With the shock news that Aaron Sorkin is leaving The West Wing, I have what I will modestly call a genius suggestion:
Joss Whedon has remarked on many occasions that he considers Sorkin a genius and TWW a dream series - so as he's now down two of his three previous productions, why not offer to step into Sorkin's shoes?
This would, beyond question, represent my idea of televisual heaven 
Celeb-Spotting
Not a bad day - two actors and a writer so far.
He was in the caff round the corner from the office first thing, and
He (my hero), was on the Northern Line platform at Tottenham Court Road.
Meanwhile, someone who may have been Willy Russell, Alan Bleasdale, or another writer entirely was lunching near Barnaby and I.
The Fanboy Gush
Oh. My. God.
Yes - it's that good. X2 took on all of my expectations and passed them by miles. I'll be good and not spoil, but I will say that as an adaptation of comicbook concepts for film, it's as close to flawless as any I've seen. There were so many moments that set the hairs at the back of my fanboy neck off that I lost count. The negative is that it made me want to see X3 NOW.
In fact, to quote someone, probably at Millarworld "this film kicked so much ass I think I'm actually bruised."
There's a proper review in Opinion, which contains only one spoiler, and it's clearly marked beforehand.
I think a return visit later in the weekend is very much called for.
ADDENDUM - Also, saw the last trailer for The Matrix Reloaded on a big screen for the first time. Ooooooh.
