Who Knew Stephen Fry Had Such Influence?
Everything is connected.
In 2006 the following happened: I watched "V for Vendetta" b/c a friend said it was awesome and since I'd read Alan Moore's "Watchmen" and loved it, I trusted that friend. > I fell strangely in love (in a platonic way) with Stephen Fry > I began watching "A Bit Of Fry And Laurie" > this led to watching "Blackadder" and becoming enamored with Hugh Laurie and moar Stephen Fry (I subsequently read Hugh laurie's spy novel and several of Stephen's fiction novels) > this led to voraciously watching "House" and a re-watching of "Mr. Bean" > when there was no more ABOFL to be had, I watched the show "QI" on youtube, delightfully hosted by Mr. Fry > Comedian Eddie Izzard was in the pilot, on a whim I checked out his dvd "Unspeakable" from the Library (the rest is history) > my need to watch everything E.I. was in, led to the movie "Revenger's Tragedy" w/ Christopher Eccelston. > That movie encouraged me to give the new "Doctor Who" a try (and soon led to a watching of much David Tennant and then John Barrowman, I even read Barrowman's autobiography!)> the delight I found in Christopher Eccelston made me want to see his (all too short) part in "Heroes"
I can't think of anything that "Heroes" made me watch but it's entirely possible this goes on forever...My goodness, one little movie in 2006 influenced what I would watch and obsess over for the next four years (I wonder if this is all traceable to Kevin Bacon...). Can anyone else identify one movie/show that's attached to years of entertainment?
