What quote it that from? Is it something from friends or something matthew perry did?
@nickm8494Ай бұрын
I recently finished the audio version of Matthew Perry's book, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing", narrated by himself. A tough listen at times, but beautifully written. Clearly he was a greater talent and a more complex individual than the "Chandler from Friends" persona for which he was known. It also highlights the hypocrisy of the American "rehab" industry, whereby huge profits are made from exploiting people with serious addictions, hidden behind a very thin veil of altruism. I didn't know much about Mr Perry before listening to his story; after doing so I concluded that I liked him. He seemed like a good man who was blighted by a disease with no obvious cure. The tone of his book suggests that he knew how it would end, be it unexpected or intended. His close friends and family genuinely cared for him, but were mostly helpless in the face of his illness. It seems he was loved by everyone - apart from himself.

I could have listened to a whole podcast on the issues around Matthew Perry's death, fame, hangers' on, etc. I just finished a book by Carrie Fisher's ex-PA ("A Star Is Bored") and it depresses me to think of the world that many actors/musicians live in. I love Carrie Fisher's work and I naively believed that she was in recovery for her addictions, like I believed Matthew Perry. I'm too old to be that naive, I guess.

What I've always found weird is how actors and musicians talk about getting vitamin B shots to help them keep going so casually like it's a normal thing. There is nothing wrong with getting a B shot, but most people don't get one daily so they can do their job. It just shows how the entertainment industry treats it's "stars" (cash cows) They can't get sick, tired, lose their voice for even a day because somebody at the top will loose a million.

The US version of The Traitors gets such a bad rap because it casts reality stars but honestly that's the thing that makes it so much more watchable for me. It becomes a story within a story because these people have history. Even if I don't know them from Adam, I'm so invested in the past history each of them have and watching them navigate new paths to harmonious living.

Like it or not, everyone hears you reading it to them, like you’re sitting next to the bed reading them a good night story. You are, after all, the most reassuring person on television. You could be on edit soz: HIGNFY where where Christmas is canceled, Wimbledon is knocked down for scrap and WW3 looks likely, and we’d come away completely unfazed and entertained. My second theory is that you are Joyce Meadowcroft, give or take. Not that I’ve read the 4th book yet, but it’s on my table.

It drove me mad with curiosity so I looked into it and the guy apparently kept making comments which weren’t in the spirit of the game. I’ve worked in tv myself, and there is a certain level of presence to it, and everyone has to kind of join in with that presence, the make believe part. And he was talking about it like it was a tv show and not like it was a game, so apparently they just decided to leave him on the cutting room floor. He is a fascinating story.
