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!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
