Friends S7-06 - brilliant brilliant brilliant
Tennant Stuart
706 "TOW the Nap Partners"
Monica takes Rachel & Phoebe to brunch, because she needs a Maid of
Honour. The candidates hold each other's hands for support as Rachel
hopes it will be Phoebe, while Phoebe hopes it will be Rachel - and
Rachel hopes so too! This sets the stage for the story to follow...
Curiously, as Rachel proposes a toast to the future Mrs. Chandler Bing,
a woman at the next table starts paying attention, and then comes over
to wish Monica luck, but so sarcastically that she must know something
bad about Chandler.
Monica later describes the woman to Chandler, who finds her picture in
a photo album - Julie Graff, a girlfriend at camp for two summers, but
the third year he dumped her because she'd grown too fa-aa-aa. He dare
not say the F-word to Monica, who naturally is very concerned.
This is because her best friend in 5th grade refused to be her boyfriend
because she was too fa-aa-aa, so she knows how Julie felt - but when she
makes Chandler apologise to the woman, Julie calls him "Skidmark", and
never knew he split up with her because she was overweight.
Monica worries that Chandler will divorce her if she gets fat again - but
he insists he's not as stupid as when he was 15. She reminds him of their
first Thanksgiving together when he called her fat - but he argues that
that was behind her back. Chandler explains that she is Monica, and he
is in love with Monica, whatever size she is, and they embrace.
---o0o---
Meanwhile, Monica's cunning plan is that since they're three girls, they
should trade off being Maids of Honour for each other, so hypothetically
if Phoebe was Monica's then Rachel would be Phoebe's and Monica would be
Rachel's, or vice versa - and cleverest of all, it'll be Phoebe & Rachel
who decide, so that Monica doesn't have too!
Later, Phoebe asks Rachel to be her Maid of Honour one day, and Rachel is
delighted until she realises it's just Phoebe's little plan. Phoebe has to
admit that she wants the job so badly because the wedding is now, and it's
two of their best friends - and who knows WHAT Rachel is going to marry!
Rachel counters by suggesting she could marry Ross or Joey, which makes
her friend gasp, and claim that's she has never been Maid of Honour while
Rachel has done it twice. Rachel good-heartedly gives in because of this,
and promises that she'll marry someone better than Chandler, to which
Phoebe phuffts in agreement!
But after Joey reveals that Phoebe was Maid of Honour for a neighbour,
Rachel angrily withdraws her offer, so Joey suggests that they audition
and he & Ross will be the judges. When Ross arrives, Rachel plays up to
him, but he grimaces & pulls away - yet when Phoebe plays up to him he
likes it, and assumes it's because of his new cologne...
The audition begins with Joey pretending to be Monica with cold feet
about the wedding, so Rachel warns 'her' that if 'she' runs out, 'she'
will lose the gifts. Then Ross portrays a drunk uncle at the ceremony,
so Phoebe uses her martial arts skills to floor him!
Next, Rachel has to perform an impromptu speech - she met Monica when
they were 6, and befriended Chandler when he was 25, but acted like he
was 6 - but she's topped by Phoebe whose speech is pathetic until she
'recalls' the time she showered with Rachel, naked!
After imagining the scene, the judges award the contest to Phoebe, and
Rachel storms off - but later she cunningly apologises, giving her the
keepsakes she has been collecting for Monica, including some vintage
handkerchiefs, and an old blue garter to borrow. Touched, Phoebe falls
for Rachel's tears, telling Monica that Rachel will be Maid of Honour.
However, Monica instantly starts organising Rachel with scheduled
meetings, and too late Rachel realises her mistake. Phoebe thinks
that she has had the last laugh, until Rachel reminds Phoebe who
her Maid of Honour will be...
---o0o---
Joey hires the videos of "Die Hard" and "Die Hard 2" for the guys, but
after the first movie they discover he accidentally hired two copies of
"Die Hard". Chandler has something better to do than watch it again, so
he leaves - but Ross is more supportive by pretending he'd be glad to.
But after the movie finishes again, Joey is asleep on the couch, and
so is Ross - all cuddled up in Joey's arms, head resting on his chest,
with beatific smiles on their faces!!! Are these innocent babes or are
they subconscious lovers??
Whatever the reality, when the boys awake they assume the worst, and
leap up to stand well apart in horror at what happened. Very guiltily,
they agree never to talk about it again, but Joey won't let the matter
rest because it was the best nap he'd ever had.
Ross reluctantly acknowledges this, but he's afraid, while the rather
more confident Joey tells him that he wants to do it again - and he's
prepared some warm milk & Excedrin PM (a safe painkiller that makes
you drowsy). Ross runs out in homosexual panic...
But later the pair are in Central Perk when Joey announces that he's
going upstairs for a little nap, leaving Ross who thinks, and thinks,
and thinks, and thinks - and goes upstairs to join him! Eventually the
pair are blissfully sleeping together, when they hear a sound, and open
their eyes to see Phoebe, Chandler, Monica & Rachel watching them...
---o0o---
This is a long review, and yet I have had to leave out much of what
made this episode so funny, else it would have been just too huge. If
you need any more reminders, go watch the show again, it's worth it.
After Season 6, many people predicted that Season 7 would be bogged down
with boring wedding preparation stories, all centred around Chandler &
Monica. Well, this episode proves them wrong. This wedding preparation
story was fabulously entertaining, and centred around Phoebe & Rachel.
I've long said all that matters is the quality of the writing - and this
wonderful piece was penned by Brian Buckner & Sebastian Jones, whose only
previous effort was 221 "TOW the Bullies" back in 1996. It easily matches
514 "TOW Everyone Finds Out" for its laughter quotient, as 514 & 706 are
the only episodes to make my cheeks sting with tears of laughter.
The Chandler & Monica story was not as strong as the other three,
but it is always good when Monica shows the insecure side of her
personality. I totally support cute or serious plots that aren't
particularly funny, as long as other stories in the episode are.
Certainly Kudrow & Aniston were performing at the top of their game
with brilliant characterisation & a wealth of jokes. Here we had two
normal people reacting to a comic situation from which the humour
flowed, not people who had suddenly become 'comic' themselves.
The situation for Ross & Joey was unusual I admit, but thematically it
was quite fascinating, for it explored the grey area between same-sex
friendship and homosexuality. These two men were literally sleeping
together - but no more was implied, whatever their fears.
It's certainly something that women are far more comfortable about, as
with Phoebe's claim about showering with Rachel. What made it work was
the sensitive performances, most especially by David Schwimmer, as his
character hesitated for so long before joining his nap partner.
If Season Six had been the end of the series as so many pundits had
asked for, the world would have been denied this delicious treat.
---o0o---
Some fans were taken in by Rachel's tears, or cannot believe she lied,
but just consider how she operates. Rachel comes across as a pushover,
yet unlike going for lunch in 612 "TOW the Joke", she's usually a baby
who ends up getting her own way. An awful lot of what she told Phoebe
was genuine, but then the best lies contain as much truth as possible.
Think of how Phoebe reacted when Monica listed all the possible uses
for the redundant delivery van in 409 "TOW They're Gonna Party!" - and
Rachel knows what her friend is like. The clincher that proves Rachel
was lying is the claim that the handkerchiefs were vintage. Why would
she say that if she wasn't out to steal the post of Maid of Honour?
If Rachel had been given some vintage handkerchiefs, she would have
exchanged them for store credit, because they would have no more than
monetary value to her. However, vintage anything is the sort of item
that would be calculated to appeal to Phoebe. And yet Rachel went to
use them for her tears right there, which gave her deceit away.
---o0o---
If you loved the Maid of Honour Contest as much as I did, know that
the Aprés S7-15 Blooper show gave us part of an *extra* round...
[Scene: Joey & Rachel's apartment. Joey & Ross are conducting yet
another round of the Maid of Honour contest for Phoebe & Rachel.]
JOEY: Okay, the next situation is for Rachel. The wedding is about
to start. You walk into the back room, and you find Monica
taking a nap with Ross.
(Ross lies down on the floor.)
JOEY: I'll be Monica. Go! (He jumps down, and cuddles up with Ross.)
ROSS: (Jumping up, all freaked out) No! No! No!
---o0o---
Wasn't Stacy Galina well cast as Julie Graff? She was so like Monica.
If she returns, and Joey (or even more so Ross) should date her, there
could be all sorts of unsettling undercurrents...
Did you notice the sly little joke wherein Chandler described Julie as
his camp girlfriend?
This means that both Chandler & Ross have had an ugly breakup with a
girl named Julie; and in the extended pilot (at 17:30 on DVD) we heard
that Joey had a date with a third Julie, but he had great difficultly
remembering her name - so could that have been an ugly breakup too?
A skidmark, for any Europeans reading this, is the mark left on a pair
of underpants when the owner does not properly clean himself (or herself)
after going to the toilet; and has nothing to do with a rapid departure.
Was it unrealistic that Monica still harbours doubts about Chandler's
love for her? Or will the spectre of once again being overweight always
hang over her head?
But note that Monica never yelled at Chandler, she remained warm and
friendly throughout - and so not screechy. Yay!
Chandler says he called Monica fat behind her back, but that is both
literally & figuratively wrong - she was behind his back.
And Chandler is right. What's wrong with being a bit fat anyway?
Monica's story was good consistent writing true to her character. Faced
with a conflict in which she cannot chose one friend without offending
another, she redefined the situation such that resolution could be found
without having to be partial, just as she did in 612 "TOW the Joke".
Maid of Honour customs vary across the Atlantic. In America, a Maid of
Honour is *unmarried* herself, otherwise she would be called a Matron
of Honour. In Britain, a Maid of Honour is a *married* woman (or much
older than the bride), otherwise she'd be called a Chief Bridesmaid.
For all that Rachel wants to be Monica's Maid of Honour, she has had two
weddings so far - and she didn't even INVITE Monica to either of them.
Will Monica take Chandler's surname, as Rachel assumed? If she does, her
initials will be MEB, which also stands for Magic Eight Ball...
Did Phoebe gasp at the idea of Rachel marrying Ross or Joey, or because
she wanted both of them for herself?
We know of Rachel being a Maid of Honour once before, at Barry & Mindy's
wedding. So when was the other occasion? However, this was no continuity
error since there is so much of these people's lives that we don't see.
Rachel & Phoebe still don't think much of Chandler, do they? Or are they
secretly jealous of his loving & trustful relationship with Monica?
Was Ross being his Uncle Nathan, whom nobody invites to weddings?
At last we saw how Phoebe did not need Rachel's help to overpower Ross
in 617 "TOW Unagi".
Rachel befriending Chandler when he was 25 is not a continuity error as
some have claimed. This was his age when the series began, and she only
*met* him earlier, she didn't befriend him. This neatly fits his age as
being 31 now, as does the reference to him being 15 sixteen years ago.
The wedding speech competition was so funny, let's hope that the real
speeches at the wedding reception won't seem an anti-climax.
This episode first aired during the presidential election fiasco in
Florida. Was Rachel's demand for a recount a complete coincidence? Or
did JA later record something for the editors to slip into the show?
Marita Bakken points out how genuinely pheebish Phoebe was. Not just in
comments like "you want a little taste of Pheebs?" & "we were all babies
once", but warning that coins hate her & then discovering that the coins
had finally forgiven her. The significance is that it's a beggar's point
of view. See how badly she reacted in 510 "TOW the Inappropriate Sister"
to anyone who failed to respect the charity bucket.
Whenever Joey first hired the "Die Hard" videos, he was carrying out a
promise he made to Chandler in 421 "TOW the Invitation". I wonder, did
they ever kid Paul Stephens about his resemblance to Bruce Willis?
Ross being more supportive about the duplicate videos suggests that these
days it's he & Joey who are the best buds - not Chandler & Joey.
The meaning of the "Nap Partners" took me totally by surprise - I thought
that maybe the gang were going to set up a betting syndicate or something.
And what happened between the nap partners after they ran away from their
friends? Do they still nap together at Ross's with the blinds shut?
---o0o---
What of the homosexual undercurrents to this episode? Rachel & Phoebe
held each other's hands in public & joked about showering together. Can
women afford to be far more relaxed about these issues than men are?
I've complained in the past about such jokes being aimed at Chandler,
but are they okay if Ross & Joey are the targets? I think here it's
important to recognise the essential innocence of the situation. It
was only in their male fears that these undercurrents had meaning.
The lame anti-Chandler jokes imply that for all his having a long-term
girlfriend, he was still in denial about his sexuality - whereas the nap
partners were treated more sympathetically, in that for all they might
sleep together, they were still heterosexual. What do you think?
No spoilers PLEASE from anyone who has already seen episodes 707-724.

I'm afraid I have no idea, maybe their website can help.
Let me know what you think of the episode next week.

Maybe they actually meant something to Rachel - maybe a much-loved
relative handed them down to her or something. And you can always
wash vintage handkerchiefs. They might have been real. I'm giving her
the benefit of the doubt :)

Hmm, yes. It would be a little like Russ in a way.

They're never going to stop with the Chandler-is-gay jokes, are they?

He probably just didn't call her. I doubt whether it was ugly. Joey never
dates women long enough to actually be *able* to have an ugly breakup -
he doesn't wait for an emotional attachment.

I knew that! Lovely.

Monica is the most insecure of all the Friends. She probably still thinks
of herself as a fat girl, partly due to issues with her mother. Although she
can now comfortably eat a tub of chocolate icecream, safe in the knowledge
that she will look *better* at the end, there's probably always something
inside reminding her of how she used to look.

Yay!

Does that make it okay then?

Ohh. Don't ask me that. You wouldn't like the answer.

Maybe because Judy so obviously favoured Ross, it's made Monica
ultrasensitive to how it feels to be the underdog. She'd make a great
mother :)

Yep. Another alternative is 'Mistress Of The Ceremony'. Seriously. Brings
up an image of the lead bridesmaid dressed in a leather catsuit, spanking
all the naughty guests! I can't stop laughing now.

She might have invited her to the Vegas one, but Monica was busy
shoplifting.

Or maybe Monica would drop her middle name and use her maiden name instead,
the way Courteney Cox did. That way her name would be Monica Geller Bing,
no E - and we might never find out what it stood for :(
> Did Phoebe gasp at the idea of Rachel marrying Ross or Joey, or because
> she wanted both of them for herself?
I think the latter! She wouldn't be shocked that Rachel might marry one of
them.
She probably just feels possessive and doesn't want *either* of them to
marry
anyone else.

No idea.

I think they like him and all that... they just still see him as the
immature,
joky guy who refuses to be tied down and don't think of him as a catch!

Probably! hehe

They probably won't include showering together, naked. Monica would
be appalled.

Pheebish Phoebe is the best Phoebe of all.

Women are less uptight because people generally see lesbians as being
more socially acceptable than gay men. For example, when Phoebe said
that she and Rachel showered together, Ross and Joey were very enthusiastic.
If it had been the other way around and Joey had been trying to convince
Rachel and Phoebe to choose him as Chandler's best man by saying that
he showered naked with Ross, they would probably have been... I don't know,
confused?! Women are more in touch with their feelings generally and
there isn't such a stigma around lesbians. I don't know if that made sense.

I think that Chandler's sexuality is always going to be a long-running joke.
He still has homosexual hair.

To be fair, she wasn't really friends with Monica at the time of the first,
at least and old a firend she'd lost touch with. Oh while I'm on it
Chandler owes Monica ten bucks!!! and Chandler owes Pheobe $7,000!! And the
second wedding Rachel was really drunk

Well, probably, btw I've forgotten, Monicas middle name we found out when
and is?

She gasped that rachel would marry Ross, indicated she might have feelings
for him still and gasped at Joey cos Pheobe wants him for herself. is it me
or does anyone else not trust Pheobe anymore?

Jealous

I hope it was a pun.

Ross and Joeys relationship has developed a lot more over the last couple
of seasons, I feel mainly cos Chandler's not there with Joey all the time
and has the missus to be busy with! So naturally, Ross and Joey have become
closer although Chandler and Joey's bond still is there.

Men, in general are homophobic (yes i am making a generalisation) the
thought of finding out one of their close friends is gay freaks them out,
and doing anything gay freaks them out. Women aren't always relaxed about
it, but are more accepting, generally. Plus we all know how lesbianism gets
men going, a perfect weapon.

I think Chandler is easy target for gay jokes, as, we have seen, he has
been mistaken for being gay frequently.
Suddenly I realise TOW the Thanksgiving Flashbacks has a HUUge continuity
error!

her - but if Ross did, then something deeper & darker would lurk.

That made a great deal of sense Mari, thankyou very much.
Have you seen the history programmes by Simon Shama? In the one about
the conflict between Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots - cousins who
never met, both had various disastrous relationships with men, battled
as Protestant versus Catholic, Mary was ousted by Scotland and fled to
England, Elizabeth had her beheaded but Mary's son James Stuart <grin>
became king of both countries - Shama concluded that all their problems
would have been solved if Elizabeth & Mary had married each other...

This is so true. When I was in my twenties, I discovered that one of my
friends was gay, which was rather unsettling even though I hadn't seen
him since we left school. Of course, the law of averages means that a
few more must have been, but I prefer not to think about that.
As for lesbianism, it just seems obvious to find girls attractive. :)

perfectly honest.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but If Rachel had thought Chandler was gay when
she first met him, which she did in season 1 if i remember correctly, in
that episode she never mentioned to monica that she thought this, else she
would have said, you'd never get him naked with you because you're not a
guy or something similar. So, was she referring to when she met him in TOW
the Flashbacks, but she can't mean then because she had that sexual,
fantasy thing with him, and if she thought he was gay then, she wouldn't.
So therefore it must refer to when she met him in the pilot episode, in
which she doesn't rmember him at all then, or in TOW the Flashabacks...hang
on that means TOW the Thanksgiving flashbacks was more continuity error ful
than I thought..and it was such a great episode!!!!!!!
Chis - who has waaay too much free time.

Well yes, it's amazing how few Ross & Chandler stories there have
been - four, compared with 11 Joey & Ross and 28 Joey & Chandler.

Ah yes, this is all part of the "When did Rachel first meet Chandler"
question, which has no easy answer because those two great flashback
episodes had to be shoe-horned into the existing continuity. I think
the way that JA plays the young Rachel is the key here. She was so
shallow & self-centered in the 1980s that she barely took any notice
of daft young Chandler, and then in 1993 he was just some guy who was
not Barry, a mere object of her sexual fantasies. She didn't really
begin to relate to Chandler as a person until she lived next door.
> Chis - who has waaay too much free time.
Lol, I'm squeezing in a quickie before making an early start, only it's
getting a bit late since the guy who's driving hasn't shown up yet. :(

No, I don't think it did. Fat Monica was actually Happier Monica. Although

I don't think they're jealous of Chandler. They might be jealous of Monica
though.
Not because she's engaged to Chandler, just because she's engaged at all.

Monica probably has a phobia of locking her door. She's locked it twice, I
think.

it. It's very annoying, I'm not saying there shouldn't be a Welsh channel
but they should at least give us the choice, sometimes the quality of
programming on S4C leaves much to be desired, and the times are always
different to Channel 4.

Yes, I quite agree, which is why I qualified my remark. She could have
lost some weight to help her heart, but not so much that she ended up
less happy. But this is a very tricky area, and I'm so not adamant.

The key broke the third time. The second time, she had to stage a

Yeah it's also a right pain that On Digital (now renamed ITV Digital)
dedicates channels 8/17/18 to the Welsh & Scottish variations, which
leaves the English with a hole in the numbering that you can't get rid
of even by changing the numbers. And not having the 8 loses you a nice
single-digit input on the remote control.

I would have thought so! The closest they've come is Monica dating Richard's
son in TOW Chandler In A Box, and Danny and Krista in TOW The Inappropriate
Sister. She's called Krista, right? Did I get that right? Hope so.

Or having Joey run in on her, while she's wearing a shower cap. Hopefully
she wasn't testing the massager at that point. ...Why did I mention the

I personally hate S4C, I'd much rather have channel 4, the programming is
much better and you don't have to put up with noson lawen. Believe me,
they're so desperate for programs, I've been on one about 5 times!

You might, but I bet you that Monica never thinks of that - not since

It's hard to be sure, since Chandler & Joey went to #19 first, to find
their furniture there, so they never tried to just walk into their own
apartment. Then they rushed across the hallway, and banged on the door
of #20, instead of trying to enter, then Monica opened the door on its
chain, but we don't know if she unlocked it first.
However, considering the situation, Monica must have locked the door.

Well, that's good. When I had my hair brown before, people treated me
differently. Then it went blonde again and they all started talking

Not if it was on the chain. She wouldn't have needed to. Also, if she
had just locked it, Joey and Chandler would have just been able to let
themselves in. I'm pretty sure that if they were living there, they
had a key.

After "Psycho" was released, Alfred Hitchcock received an angry letter
from the father of a girl who refused to have a bath after seeing "Les
Diaboliques", and now refused to use the shower. Hitchcock sent a note
back simply saying "Send her to the dry cleaners".

Not if Monica left the key in the lock.
She & Rachel were very wary of how Chandler might react.

On the Julia one, only about 5 videos!! It's taken me a while but I'm doing
very well. On the Courteney one... about 30. English video people delete

I know that you were addressing Tennant, but I had a look at the "BoBo"
picture, and thought you looked a bit like LK (with her real, offstage
hairdo)--that's a compliment. ;)
> Sarah Michelle Gellar is a natural brunette. And Lucy Lawless is
> a natural blonde.
I knew about SMG, but not Lucy Lawless. I've never seen her blonde. Do you
think it suited her more? I read an article (I think it was in _Allure_
magazine), where SMG said she preferred being brunette, and had gradually
darkened her hair since the first season of _Buffy_.
I have no idea about LL's personal preferences.
I've never been blonde, though years ago a co-worker photocopied a picture
of me and redid me with big platinum hair (using wite-out), and titled it my
"Blonde Ambition Tour" (yes, this coincided with Madonna's tour by that
name!). I'm a brunette who has colored her hair black and numerous shades
of brown and red, but never blonde (except a streak back in 1990). :)

Oh, I get it! My husband and I have our intricate cat stories, too.
Whenever we see a cat when we're out on our neighborhood walks, we *know*
it's a spy hired by *our* cat to keep tabs on us (because he runs a
multi-national corporation when we're not home). ;)

Have either of you guys seen the episode of "Mad About You" where
Jamie went brunette? It so suited her, and I was so disappointed
that her new look didn't last.

Yes, and I agree with you--I thought she looked great brunette. Bad Ned
(Hank Azaria) for being all mopey about the change. :)

I *did* have a (poor quality) copy of that, but then I saw it listed
again so I thought I could retape it over the poor version.
Unfortunately it turned out to be a previous version of the movie, so
I'd killed my only copy. :(

I have also been told I look like "the chick from Meet The Parents",
and Helen Hunt. Which I don't. Also, once somebody asked me for an
autograph. I have no idea who they thought I was so I signed it
"Celeste" and put lots of big kisses. A couple of weeks ago I found
out there's a porn star who goes by "Celeste". Oops!

Yeah... but when you go from being blonde to being brunette, you
suddenly feel really different. People look at you less or something.
That's why most blondes who do that go back to being blonde
afterwards.

Okay - as a teenager, Lisa Kudrow was so prim & conservative that she
underwent therapy, but then gradually changed her hair one summer: "That
really helped. Being blonde lightens your personality. People's attitudes
to you change. I was treated like a little girl, and flirted with more,
which I enjoyed. Possibly they thought I was dumb. I assumed blondes were
dumb too. There are a lot of prejudices to overcome. We have got to stop
thinking that if someone is not the same as us, they must be wrong". She
can be seen with dark hair in a November 1989 episode of "Cheers", and as
a brunette in a December 1992 episode of "Mad About You".

True--and then they eventually split up, anyway. Does everyone here know he
does these voices, among others on _The Simpsons_?
Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, Moe Szyslak, Police Chief Clancy Wiggum, Comic Book
Guy, Lou, Carl, Dr. Nick Riviera, Snake, Kirk Van Houten, Bumblebee Man,
Professor John Frink, Cletus the Slack-Jawed Yokel
And of course he's Phoebe's David--the sweeper trapped in the body of a
physicist. :)

I'd heard they divorced and parted company. Helen Hunt and Kevin Spacey
were saying they were dating, having met during the making of _Pay it

I really hate having my picture taken on an ordinary camera. I was
brave enough with that one, and I don't want any more! I used to get
them done in the photo booth, where you can see what you look like
before you okay it, but then they changed the lighting so that every
time anyone tried to get a picture taken they came out looking like
they have skin disease.

It's already too light in there. You come out looking as if you have
smallpox but tried to hide it by whitewashing your face.

You haven't tried it then. Most of the reflected light softens facial
shadows, while some of it causes the camera to reduce the exposure.

Exactly, she's very much a minor character, even though she gets third
billing, since DeNiro & Crystal dominate the movie. That's what gets me
a little annoyed when people say that CC only had third billing in the
Scream movies, overlooking the fact that it was alphabetical order.
> TOOS is really funny, I recommend it :)
Well, just for you sweetie, I'll give it a go when it comes up.
But people on ATF were telling me how great "Analyze This" was.

I didn't even recognise the title "Clockwatchers", I had to look it up.
Seems to be another Kudrow flop. It isn't in my bankability list since
no budget is given in the IMDb, but after three months its total gross
amounted to $444,354 which must represent a huge loss.
When you consider she earns twice that for one episode of "Friends",
it's a wonder they bothered to release the movie, she could have paid
the studio herself out of her pocket money.
OTOH, "Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion" I have at least heard
of, but am in no rush to see. Tell me, do you recall any scenes between
Michelle & Billy (aka-aka Phoebe & Fun Bobby in "Friends")?

I'm glad that they *did* release it, because I thought it was a very good
movie. It was more a vehicle for Toni Colette, though. Nonetheless, LK did
a nice job, as usual.

Oh, Tennant, it's hilarious. Billy was Romy's old high-school crush--as I
recall she had more interaction with him than Michelle did, but since R & M
were mostly inseparable in the film, I *think* LK also had screentime with
him.

I liked all three movies, but Scream 1 is the best whodunnit, and I
reckon it has the most gorgeous Gale. After that she's too thin.

I know, and I had half a mind to delete it from her bankability
calculation, because she's such a minor player, but if I had done
that, then it would have removed $112m from her profitability.

She isn't *that* thin in Scream 2. I just thought it was even more
tongue-in-cheek than Scream 1, I guess that's why I like it best.
Scream 3 wasn't as good as those, but still a pretty good movie on a
scale of 1-10. Shame about skinny Gale though - oh and her hair! I
weep!

Sorvino once made a good stab at playing Marilyn Monroe, but as I

It only bored me a tenth to death, for that's how long I lasted.

Okay, she's well fine in Scream 1, a bit thin in Scream 2, and far
too thin in Scream 3.

She certainly can't.
Whereas CCA could lose four times that amount, and still be $68m up.

I never saw the Marilyn Monroe, but actually really liked her in _Mighty
Aphrodite_. Don't worry, I don't think that means you won't enjoy her in
_Romy and Michele_--Romy's nothing like Judy. . . .

Oh yes, BOTOH "end of trilogy" rules applied, and so I was genuinely
concerned for Gale's fate, which had me on the edge of my seat.

I read the abridged script at The Editing Room before I saw the movie
(Spoiler Slut, damnit) and so I knew what happened. Same with 3000
Miles To Graceland. I read Mr Cranky's review (which I LOVED! And if
you don't like David Arquette, you'll love it too) and so I know what
happens even though I haven't seen it.

I made the mistake of reading the abridged script there for _The Sixth
Sense_ before seeing the film, and it totally ruined the main surprise,
while claiming it was obvious (it so wouldn't have been had I not been
expecting it!). So I now make a point of reading those scripts only for
films I've seen, unless I'm absolutely sure I don't want to see the film in
question.
Mardi
CandiGrrl
Well, when I saw The Sixth Sense, I got it wrong and didn't actually
realise that it was a twist. I thought it was just the storyline and
so when the audience all went "Ooohhhh", I went "What?"
