re: I FINALLY watched “Friends Reunion” Show last night

I was more struck by how much they had forgotten. It seemed like Matt LeBlanc scarcely remembered anything.

I watched about 20-30 minutes last night before losing interest but that really stood out ot me as well. At first I tried to put it in persepctive...these are actors that have been in the business for decaes now, and hve probably worked on countless movies/shows/plays/whatever so obviously they aren't going to remember every single line of dialogue they've ever done. But I remember one scene where leblanc asked david schwimmer "hey do you remember that episode where we kept throwing hte ball and coudln't drop it" and he had no clue. HE was like uhh no not really. Like how is that even possible?

I listened to his Audible and it was rough. Not bad, rough to hear him narrate it about what he went through. 50+ percocets a day, would only get wasted alone, very lonely. HIs colon erupted and he has a bag for the rest of his life.

I knew his drug use was bad, but I had no idea.

Damn that is sad.

And I can remember always thinking Phoebe was hot, but unlucky that her two best friends were hotter (and much hotter). But catching the show here and there nowadays, she looks even better (I assume now because I am older).

Yes. It happens for me even with gals I really think are just objectively not very attractive at all. Being 22 can turn a 5 into an 8 to an old dude.

I read his auto-biography and he came very close to dying from his drug abuse. He was in the hospital for months, colon exploded etc. his drug use was all-encompassing for decades. It is really sad.

Now you need to watch the Seinfeld reunion

quote:

They wanted some shows to cross over. Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld said they’d only do it if they could kill off Ross on Seinfeld. They said no and Seinfeld wasn’t a part of the running blackout plot.

I'd never heard that
