friends; the reunion

this is one of the things i wanted to watch on hbo max.

over all not too bad. random thoughts follow.

-i forgot that james corden hosted this. hated that red suit he wore.
-the table reads were unnecessary. they could have had the scene play and the actors make comments.
-didn't need the smelly cat stuff. or the fashion show. they could've had more show clips. or showed bloopers that they kept in the show.
-not commenting on "work" people had done, except to say "oh my."
-they didn't mention why joey went from a jerky, nyc guy in the pilot to the goofy idiot he became. i wondered if it was true that leblanc suggested the change because he thought it didn't make sense that the others were friends with a guy like that.
-marta kauffman said she named chandler after a guy she knew. which proves that bit of trivia in one of the posts in feb. to be false. that the characters were named after all my children characters. which i thought might be a rumor or outright BS.
-schwimmer mentioned the great guest stars & someone mentioned julia roberts. aniston said something like "someone to to enjoy her." while pointing to perry. according to rumor, they "enjoyed" each other briefly in real life too.
-in the trivia game they said no one know what chandler did for a living, but i thought he was an executive in statistical analysis and data reconfiguration for a large, multinational corporation.
-they showed the footage of when leblanc messed up his shoulder while filming the one where no one's ready. & i'm not sure what happened. he dove into the chair right shoulder first, but it was his left one that got messed up. i heard it was dislocated, but he was moving it around, which you can't do when it's dislocated.

after watching this i had a dream that the marvel actors from the infinity war era movies got together for a similar reunion.
