OMG I go for this is true. I enjoy friends. Unluckily, I’m not surprised how true it is. I would believe more good tabloids would have blamed it up if it was so then I will think.

Rob…a man after my own heart…I was so mad about the ending of Gilmore Girls. I was a huge fan and watched religously and I was so mad at the end thinking “What a waste” The could not have ended that show any worse. I would like to see a Friends movie…I’m just not going to get all kinds of excited about it..I can’t see it happening.

Learn to read, folks, it said “People thought she was too famous”. Nowhere did it state she had said such a thing.

Cheers.

Speaking as a straight guy with waaaay too much time on his hands, I’ve got to say that you guys aren’t trying hard enough regarding a storyline for a Friends movie.

Ross & Rachel get married by Joey at Thanksgiving. Hijinks ensue that don’t even remotely resemble the movie “American Wedding.”

Pure speculation on my part, but come on, we all know the characters and due to the slightly open-ended nature of the series finale, this is the logical way to go. If it isn’t the spine of the movie, then Marta Kaufmann needs to let someone else write it.

And you’ll notice that I’m not speculating on any Chandler/Monica storyline or Phoebe storyline as while I have my ideas, the characters are just too idiosyncratic to mandate that their stories *have* to go in the direction that Ross & Rachel’s does.

Also, if there’s going to be a Friends big-screen movie, then Warner has absolutely no excuse not to make a small-screen or direct-to-DVD movie finale for Gilmore Girls, since well — darn that Kim (hee!), ending the show single-handedly, without an actual finale for Lorelai and Luke’s storyline!

I’m with most people here – I loved the show and watch it over and over – but I just can’t think of possible story lines and how it could be that great. Even if it is crap, I’ll definitely watch it. I wonder how much they’ll make for the film? …30…40 million each?

they should get ballsy and make it “R” rated.

OMG I hope this is true. I love friends.

Unfortunately, I’m not sure how true it is. I would think more reputable tabloids would have picked it up if it was…

but I hope it is!!!

OMG i love Friends just as much as the next person, but they didn’t leave the series as open ended as SATC. Sister Mary Romano has an earful of all that could go wrong on celebrity prayer list

Venemously or vehemently, Tammy?

Also, how many times can the word “keen” be used in an article? Who ARE these writers?!

I’m a HUGE Friends fan and it drives my husband crazy… But I was thinking of a possible story-line… Maybe a Ross and Rachel wedding?? I don’t know! It’d be awesome if it really happens!

I think a movie would be great…but David Schwimmer has venomously said previously that he doesnt want to portray Ross Gellar again. Would be interesting to see if his failed career post friends will change his mind.

IF (stress IF) the Jen Aniston ‘too famous’ thingy is true, what a slap in the face to her fans of the character that made her so loved in the first place! I really doubt “The Breakup” (and the like) really won over legions of new JenJen lovers. Let’s hope that whole thing isn’t true, and she never said anything like that.

Hhhhmmm…. don’t get me wrong… I was a HUGE Friends fan back in the day, but the prospect of a movie just doesn’t get me all tingly like SATC did. Maybe I need to watch some of the repeats that come on a zillion times a day to get in the spirit…
