As you know -- no one does humiliation better than Kudrow, like when she’s surviving another intimate encounter in the bathroom to avoid the cameras, she and her husband Mark, juicily played by Damian Young, are pitch perfect. “You hit your head on the toilet last time,” Mark complains when she refuses to pony up in the bedroom. Throughout the HBO series, Mark is one hot, balding husband, constantly sticking his tongue down his wife’s throat. As he dirty dances with…..www.beyondbeautifulbabe.comBeyondBeautifulBabehttp://www.beyondbeautifulbabe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-39770323353990890222010-05-11T20:25:54.717-04:002010-05-11T20:25:54.717-04:00i love lisa. always been my favorite from friends....i love lisa. always been my favorite from friends. i love her so much. <br /><br />and that scene where she tells the bitches i hope your babies look like monkeys. so hilarious. you're the mary im the roda. so many golden moments.pathttp://holdencaulfieldisms.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-59046964014477627202010-05-11T18:55:02.443-04:002010-05-11T18:55:02.443-04:00Kudrow has always been my favorite "friend&qu...Kudrow has always been my favorite "friend".

Such a shame that she doesn't really get to be in anything mainstream anymore.

In the dream sequence, the decorations in the hall where the reunion is being held are giant versions of the magnets the bitch girl stuck to Michelle's backbrace in the flashback. When they're working out in the gym wearing this ridiculously high platforms and then they go into the changing room and you see Romy take out another pair of platforms from her locker, showing us that she must have brought those initial shoes specially because she considered them to be appropriate gym footwear! In the Time After Time dance, Mira Sorvino is seriously busting out some legit ballet moves - she cracks me up - and Alan Cumming keeps looking straight into the camera.<br /><br />I wanna go watch it again, right now.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00106205865812851509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-58003303820912840272010-05-11T08:54:01.307-04:002010-05-11T08:54:01.307-04:00Wasn't RDJ is this movie too?

Although EVERYONE (and it's like, totally true) loves Jen's Rachel Green, I think the heart and soul of that show was really Phoebe's one-liners and Chandler's goofiness.<br /><br /><br />Why oh why nobody gives this woman a meaty part? Why the need to keep Jennifer Aniston, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cameron Diaz, Reese Witherspoon and so many others (I'm looking at you Heigl!) replaying versions of themselves in stupid rom-coms when they should be more interested in making smart comedies for women like Tina Fey, Lisa Kudrow or Amy Poehler.Jorge Rodrigueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14773926428295140628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-75368026118080344192010-05-11T06:08:50.622-04:002010-05-11T06:08:50.622-04:00unh. i love that so many of you are fans.
