Miguel Sanchez Posted November 5, 2023 Author Share Posted November 5, 2023 Week 44 update Nothing this week. So I may as well do Matthew Perry: Matthew Perry obituary | Matthew Perry | The Guardian Quote The actor Matthew Perry, who has been found dead at his home aged 54, brought a wry sense of humour to the role of Chandler Bing in Friends, the American sitcom featuring six twentysomethings in Manhattan facing the ups and down of everyday life. “Chandler’s a guy who’s just not comfortable in his own skin – he’s got a great excuse to be funny,” said Perry of the sarcastic, neurotic character in the programme that ran from 1994 to 2004. “He’s an exaggerated form of me.” The neurosis partly came from Chandler experiencing the divorce of his parents when he was nine and using humour as a defence mechanism. It echoed Perry’s own life, with his mother and father splitting up by his first birthday. Since his death last week, there are seventeen articles relating to him in some way on the Guardian website. When I was reading about him after he died I saw a quote from his 2022 autobiography - "when I die everyone will be shocked, but no-one will be surprised." This was a reference to his health problems caused by years of alcohol and drug addiction, but I have to say I'm honestly taken aback by how much people seem to like Friends. In 2007 when I first got a TV with more than five channels I discovered Friends through E4. Two episodes every weekday at 5pm, then two episodes of Scrubs at 6pm. I'd watch the whole series through then it'd start from the beginning again and I'd start again. This would have lasted a few years. I think eventually E4 stopped showing them and I went a while without it. Then a few years later I bought the complete series on DVD. The first disc isn't there. I got a box that had two copies of disc 2 of series 1 by mistake, but I didn't open it for a few weeks and binned the receipt so I'm stuck with it. Anyway, when I watched the whole series for the first time in a few years I was struck by something. The six friends were all absolutely awful people. Really horrible and obnoxious. I think Chandler was the only one who had any sympathy about him. And while I'm here, the only one of the women who was ever attractive was Phoebe in the first series. That's it. Even before Perry died I've wondered over the past few years quite why people like Friends so much. Maybe since James Michael Tyler died a few years ago. Someone I once knew described the programme as "chewing gum for the eyes" which I think holds up. It's familiar, it's inviting and it's reassuring in a way that's rare. Ten years and 200+ episodes makes it easy to just put some on and feel comfortable. You're watching Friends, you're watching friends, you're with friends. Maybe there's an analysis in there about quite how reliant on media at the expense of real relationships people can be nowadays. There's an irony that I'm sitting thinking aloud on this when it's Chandler, the awkward, broken one, who's died. There's a timelessness to the episodes which I think helps too. Apparently Perry got 20 million dollars a year out of Friends reruns. I guess the other five do too. Do they get an extra 4 million each? Either way, with this and his health problems in mind it's interesting to look at his filmography and see how little else he did. I only know him for two things besides friends. An episode of Scrubs where he was the reluctant son of a patient who he resented for naming him Murray and constantly upstaging him. It felt like an extension of Chandler but in a different setting and with Dr. Cox there to bollock some sense into him, it still felt unique. The other thing I know him for, and which you should to, is this: It seems there's almost a full hour of this primo content. Now things feel a bit dated. Perry died at 54 so he's worth 71 Base Points for @btb, @kilMARKnock and @throbber. As the official cause of death is as yet unknown I'll keep an eye on this and see if he's due an Unnatural Causes bonus. It doesn't seem to have been caused by drugs, so you're needing the early reports of him drowning if you want extra points. If he had a heart attack and then drowned I'll go full insurance adjuster and refuse the bonus because it was the heart attack, not the hot tub. Maybe.

scottsdad Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 1 hour ago, throbber said: Perry was in a pretty forgettable movie with Neve Campbell some 25 years ago called “three to tango”. There was a scene in it where they were at an art exhibition and the artist had painted countries flags on peoples arses and Perry in true form approaches an attractive woman who’s sat next to one such picture and says “I never knew things were so hairy in Bosnia!” His appearance in scrubs was great / it was his actual real life father in the episode as well. His real life father was in an episode of Friends as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
