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...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
