* The Big Bang Theory fans, heads up! Yesterday we went to see A Serious Man movie by Coen brothers - pretty cool, I had good laugh several times. However, the most hilarious moment was when Larry Gopnik went to see a junior rabi.. and it was Simon Helberg aka Howard Wolowitz from TBBT! I couldn't stop laughing for minute or two as well as few people around. I believe that non-TBBT fans can't appreciate this but it was awesome. If nothing else, it is worth to see the movie for this moment only.
