But I thought it was made clear that Holmes didn't care for the company of women, and had very little patience for them? I could be misremembering it.

I gave it a try. I'm not going to give it another one.

Say what you will about the ills of breaking character but the audience always loves it. Fallon always seemed to get big laughs when he'd up and start giggling like ea giddy schoolgirl during a sketch. So, I doubt that the producers really discourage it …

I think the real revelation here is that all talk show hosts are incredibly pale.

I know. I like your original comment; I was addressing profdragon's response to it.

That song was written in the late '70s before The Right co-opted God in America. Plus, it was also written by drunken Australians whom I very much doubt were referring to right and left as political positions.

I meant that the Simpsons episodes he was involved in, which I personally consider to be the only real quality work he's done, were 20 years ago.

Well, sure! They also usually go to Yale because of nepotism and later on go AWOL from the air force during Vietnam, but it's totally okay because of their political connections! Also, MANY cowboys' fathers were once leaders of the CIA. After all, that's what being a REAL cowboy is all about!

From the texts, I always had the impression that he wasn't asexual so much as "troubled" and really just unfit for a conventional romantic lifestyle — great mental prowess, very little tolerance for social mores, and drug abuse. The second book opens with him shooting up, for Christ's sakes, and we all know that opium…

Whatever one had the montage where Johnny Depp played like 20 versions of himself dancing on some pirate ship (or possibly cleaning it up, it's hard to remember) is the exact moment in time when he went from The Coolest Actor to A-Number One Dipshit.
