To our Eye on Soaps readers who don't already know his work, I would like to introduce my son (in whom I am well pleased), Joe Humphrey.  Joe is an exceptionally talented writer of screenplays, fiction, nonfiction, movie reviews and other interesting things.  His Live Journal fictional character, Billiam, garnered a five page article in the magazine "Yahoo Internet Life."  He is also a accomplished artist and film maker.  Here, I will share, with his permission, a number of my favorites in his body of work.

Joe on Phoebe From Friends

Next time you watch an episode of Friends with Phoebe's twin sister Ursula on it, pretend that she doesn't actually exists and is actually a second personality of Phoebe's. It makes it more interesting.

It's kind of neat really, because of the effect of having to have Lisa Kudrow play both characters, there's almost never (if at all) a scene with both Phoebe and Ursula interacting with other characters from the show. Even the one where Joey was dating Ursula... picture that it's actually Phoebe, but she thinks she's Ursula. And in the one with Sean Penn, imagine that Sean Penn doesn't exist either and is also a figment of Phoebe's imagination.

I mean, Phoebe was raised by her crazy grandmother after her adopted mother killed herself. She was one half of twins at one point or another because her birth mother (Teri Garr... who, in the episode when she's introduced, thinks Phoebe is a burglar and grabs a coat hanger as a weapon... a little symbolism for ya) and her natural father (Bob Balaban) both acknowledge that there were twins at one point... but let's say that Ursula actually died when they were kids and the grandmother treated Phoebe as though she were both Ursula and Phoebe, calling her one name sometimes and the other other times, until Phoebe actually believed that she was, in fact, two people.

So that means it actually IS Phoebe in the porno movie... which would explain why Ursula used Phoebe's name.

Sandra and I were talking about how it would be cool if they ended the show with a really hardcore shake up of the characters... have Phoebe go completely insane, have Rachel die in childbirth, have Joey take care of Rachel's baby, have Monica get so depressed about not being Rachel's choice to take care of the baby that she gets really fat again, have Ross kill himself over Rachel, have Chandler come out of the closet and leave Monica for Gunther. I think that would be pretty fuckin cool.
