Tarantino has high praise for Aaron Sorkin. I've never seen The Newsroom and I think I saw 2 episodes of The West Wing.
He's right that pilots suck. The only pilot I ever liked is Starsky & Hutch- it's 90 minutes long, like a movie. It has some bad dialogue in it but I dig it. I have the first season of Starsky & Hutch on DVD. Vintage 70's TV.
Speaking of Tarantino, did you see his lists of potential actors he was thinking of casting for Pulp Fiction?
Matt Dillon was dropped- QT said about him (paraphrase): "If he can't give me a commitment after reading the script then he's out".
That's clout, when it's only your second film. I'm so grateful I got to see him in person in Toronto. The guy is a cinematic savior.
I didn't consider Walter Chaw a maverick but I suppose he is.
