I Love Stephen Fry

Dish listened to Charlie Sheen's live broadcast for a few secs just now and it took me back. Remember those days in college where you sat in a room full of guys and slightly-competitive female friends, watched them get high and drunk and waited for the guys to notice you? Usually one XY would dominate and spend far too long talking about nothing (dude, 19 shots for each birthday! Trotsky is like so awesome), mostly himself, lots of giggling over bs, pretending to know what he talked about, energy being sucked out of the room, etc... Well, that's what this was. One Charlie "goddess" sat on the couch while three guys spouted and cheered each other's idiocy. Lots of manic movements and not a whole lot of intelligence coming from Charlie. A whole lotta nothing.

By contrast, there's Stephen Fry. Dish has become addicted to Bones (after catching up on all the Criminal Minds) and he plays Booth's shrink. He's one of the few actors who can make me smile just by appearing on screen. Epic Tweets. Must rewatch Wilde and entire oeuvre.

So let's support those performers who are intelligent and can produce.

ok Dish. We'll support the intelligent and non-demented but only because you say so.

J.J. LOVES STEPHEN FRY TOO!!! But "Bones"??? It's such crap!! It's the lite, chick version of "Law & Order".

Have to agree with JJ: "Bones" is way too glossy and retouched. Was shocked to learn that it's based on real life experiences.

I just love the science and it tickles me how Dreyfuss-like Hodgins is.
