I agree wholly. Long-term fan of Mr. Rose's roundtable, but could not believe his aggressive tone from the opening onward. He lacked any sense of the delicacy of Sorkin's situation --considering he had just left the tv show he had created. As well, there's a sense that Rose is envious of Sorkin's talent and wants him to get on with the being the next Eugene O'Neill etc. Strange. Sorkin did his best, but could stand it no longer: by the end he threw Rose an elbow, in the metaphoric game, to basically get the bully to back off. This is one of Rose's rare low points in an otherwise excellent effort as professional talker. Bravo to Sorkin for his latest tour de force in the Social Network. See recent interview above. Sorkin lives. :) Cheers to all.

This was incredibly frustrating to watch. I am a fan of Charlie Rose's and find him to be a talented interviewer. I'm also a fan of Aaron Sorkin's, and I felt Rose was disrespectful almost to the point of bullying. "I hope you called him and apologized" ... "Are you obeying your parole officer?" ... "You're over-sensitive" ... Not professional, and not enjoyable to watch.
