Throwback Thursday:Recasting 90's Shows- Friends!

Okay... so I know that this will probably never happen in real life... nor do I want it to happen ever... but I just saw Evan Rachel Wood had a picture of her at Central Perk... and it just got me thinking. So I'm looking for actors and actresses in their 20s/30s that I think could work well together!



Joey- Jimmy Tatro 

Okay... this one was pretty tough to cast. Originally I had Michael B Jordan in this role... I really like Michael B Jordan and I wanted him in this and I thought the only role he would work for would be Joey... but I think Tatro played a really funny character in American Vandal and in 22 Jump Street... and he would be perfect for Joey. He's really funny.

Chandler- Diego Boneta 

Okay... this one was difficult to cast. Originally I thought of Nick Robinson from Love Simon... but he's a little too young for the role. Then I though Michael Cera would be a good Chandler and Diego Boneta could be a good Ross... and then I kind of decided okay... maybe not Michael Cera either... But Diego Boneta is very funny and he's pretty good at impressions... so I think he would be a good Chandler. And he has starred alongside Lea Michele in Scream Queens, although I don't believe they had many scenes together... I still think they would be good together and they would be fun together.


Ross- Skylar Astin

After considering Michael Cera as the lead... I re-thought it and was like "You know... Skylar Astin is a good romantic lead." Plus he has worked with Lea Michele before in the original cast of Spring Awakening- so they would be good as a brother and sister pairing... and I think he's a really good actor and he would be good in a comedy. So- definitely Skylar Astin.

Monica- Lea Michele 

Lea Michele is a really funny actress... I think she's kind of underrated. She can have chemistry with just about anyone... and she can do very serious roles and play some kind of uptight characters, as well as being really silly.

Phoebe- Eden Sher 

This was the only real obvious pick to me... besides Jimmy Tatro as Joey. The Middle's Eden Sher would be perfect as Phoebe. She looks a little like Phoebe... and I just think she's so funny- she would be totally perfect.

Rachel- Anna Kenderick 

Originally- I thought of Sarah Hyland for Rachel... I wanted her in this and I just think she's so funny on Modern Family- and I'd kind of like to see her in a smarter role than her character on Modern Family. But then when I thought of Skylar Astin as Ross... I realized Anna Kenderick would make a great Rachel. And I think Rachel should be a really big star if anyone is... although I would have loved Michael B Jordan to be the star... I think Anna Kenderick is really funny and a good actress. She can play a very nice, grounded character- but I think she plays edgy and pissed off really well too... so I feel like she can capture all the sides of Rachel.

This was just really fun and I thought it's fun to think about even though this is something I would never really want to see happen. I might do this with other movies too- so let me know if you like this


Byeee!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...
