Big Bucks

[Wisp]

*Sigh* All this money faff. They clearly aren't content just enjoying their jobs. Money is now preventing them (esp Jim) from just loving their characters. I'm so pissed off with Jim for becoming so lazy with his acting now that I can't agree that he should have MORE money than everyone else, but I would have militantly chanted that back in the days when the show was, you know, worth watching. I don't think giving these actors room to ad lib would even help... Jim has said many times he just follows blindly what is written for him, which I think has made him lazy. I get the feeling he keeps getting told he's great. I've always thought it's 20% writing, 80% acting that makes a character. Sheldon is so shite now mainly because Jim isn't pulling his weight. I've always thought Howard and Stuart seem the most "acted" now, which is good, so they are the only funny ones left in my view. They get some shite lines but they make them better because they're inherently funny, twitchy actors. Jim, Kaley and Johnny seem to be going for the "3 mates that are bored with eachother" kind of feel. As for Mayim, words fail me. But it's boring too.
OH! I've just remembered in The Gorilla Experiment or whatever it's fucking called the director is browsing his phone not giving a rat's ass while Penny's trying to make the best of her bad role. Wonder if that's happening on the TBBT set for real....
