  1. Raj: I wonder what the non-pathetic people are doing tonight.Leonard: Not as pathetic as dressing up like this and going to a comic book store on New Year’s Eve.

    Within the series, Leonard and Penny are the ones that are somehow grounded. After the unaired pilot the producers probably realized they need a second character (Penny) to create more mainstream appeal because Leonard alone was just a litte bit too neurotic to provide that.
  2. Despite its legacy, I have to say that I always find it hard for myself to get into this film. I think the first half is very interesting, but overall I just can't really enjoy a story about a bunch of people hunting white sharks. Also I think the captain character was a bit over-the-top, and I wished he got killed since his first scene LOL.

    What Spielberg movie from this early time in his career do you like best?
  3. You are a much bigger BBT fan than me it seems. If it's true what you wrote: "Most of the time she lets those 4 feel how superior she is" this would be something that clearly sucked during the first episodes of course.Since BBT has endless re-runs on German TV and so on it's hard for me to remember the first episodes.

  4. Thanks for all those links. I'm a big fan but this stuff I completeley missed...The unaired pilot was never aired because it sucked, as even Lorre admitted. It just looks too "nerdy" and therefore they had to introduce a new character, Penny, to allow the mainstream audience to identify.And, hey, those characters are not REALLY aware of their problems. Otherwise they would solve them. They all are happy to live the life they have in the end because there are more pros than contras.

  5. I've read it many times. My copy is tattered and torn and wrinkled. It's an incredible behinds the scenes book. They don't make books like that anymore.

    Try Hitchcock's Notebooks by Dan Auiler. There's nothing better if you want to look into a great directors brain.
  6. I think they totally miss the chance to exploit the asymmetry of these chracters. Penny by far the best looking girl of the group should suffer more from her basic ignorance. Ok she does not know what a Higgs Boson Particle is, that would not hurt anybody. They made the joke, that she thought Cold Wars were only fought in winter. In one episode she contemplates her lack of college education. But only once Leonard and Penny were hurting each other by telling each other their basic shortcomings.

    A dumber Penny would not work. Penny represents the audience within the ensemble. We must be able to identify with her. Her basic function within the Sitcom is to serve as a "mirror° -- and only that makes it possible to enjoy the crazyness of those nerds.Penny in Big Bang Theory = Monica in Friends = Carrie in King of Queens and so on.
  7. The Twitter post Olive found translated:"The Avengers" will be a big hit. Only August 14, were recorded 200 million yen yield 85.84 million today. Layer family of father and child, was quite noticeable. Throughout the year, because time is up the most box-office drawing power tray, need subtract a little there, but great performance. It is often Oyakozure would noteworthy when all is said and done.Which would mean 3.6 mio USD two-day.
