the new ios 15 features! -By Neha

 Apple also said that ios 15 will be available on 20th September. and I'm going to be telling you guys some new features of ios 15.

and one of them is that now you can screen share on facetime. I never expected this I don't know why but I did think about how amazing it would be if we could screen share on facetime. and literally the next week... this happens. and you can keep ongoing conversations while watching. and apparently, the volume will automatically lower down while you're talking with the other person. how cool is that! and it's called share play. it's basically the exact same thing as screenshare except this is boujee. and you can also listen together on apple music, that's also in share play. and the next one is spatial audio individual voices sound like they’re coming from the direction in which each person is positioned on your screen, helping conversations flow more naturally and there's also grid view, almost exactly like zoom. and three's also the portrait mode. which is kind of like zoom's blur mode. that's what facetime is now. zoom. Voice Isolation minimizes background noise and puts your voice front and center. When the music or sounds around you are as important as what you have to say, Wide Spectrum leaves the ambient sound unfiltered. and you can also schedule and share "unique" facetime links. again zoom. and I really like this feature which is where you can have facetime calls with people who use android or windows, and it will still be end to end encrypted. this feature is really cool. I can't wait for facetime to be zoom! 

and the next one is imessage and memoji

Now the links, images, and other content shared with you in Messages are featured in a new Shared with You section in the corresponding app. You can even reply right from the app you’re enjoying it in — without going back to Messages. so it's basically you click the link that doesn't take you to photos(for example) it's still going to be in messages. and there's also share with you in apps. Shared with You is built into Photos, Safari, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and the Apple TV app. and now there are new memojis too. and multiple photos in Messages now appear as a collage or an elegant stack of images that you can swipe through. Tap to view them all as a grid or add a quick Tapback. And save them to your library with just a few taps. Focus helps you stay in the moment when you need to concentrate or step away. Choose from a list of Focus options or create your own to allow only the notifications you want — you can get work done while you’re in the zone or enjoy a distraction‑free dinner. and you can also Stepping away is easier if others know you’re busy. So when you’re using Focus, your status will be automatically displayed in Messages and other communication apps you allow. And for truly urgent messages, there’s still a way for people to notify you.

something like the picture. 

and there are new redesigned notifications where you can see the logo of the app.

and there's also a notification summary where you can quickly catch up with a helpful collection of your notifications delivered daily, based on a schedule you set. The summary is intelligently ordered by priority, with the most relevant notifications at the top.

and there are also some new features in maps as well, which unfortunately doesn't work in India, 

Explore cities with unprecedented detail for roads, neighborhoods, trees, buildings, and more. Visit amazing 3D landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge in both the day and dark mode maps. Maps now offers drivers incredible road details and a new dedicated driving map that helps you see current incidents and traffic conditions at a glance.

and there are also updates in safari. The bottom tab bar puts controls right at your fingertips. Swipe left or right on the address bar to move between tabs. Or swipe up to see all your open tabs. this is cool but I don't see the purpose of doing this, if you guys know, let me know in the comments. 

and now you can also group tabs!  Save and organize your tabs in the way that works best for you and switch between them easily. Tab Groups sync across devices so you have access to your tabs from anywhere.                                                                                                               Now you can install Safari extensions on your iPhone. And just like on Mac, you can choose when the extensions will be active.

and the next feature is so useful, and it's called live text. Live Text intelligently unlocks rich and useful information in images, so you can make a call, send an email or look up directions with just a tap on the highlighted text in a photo. but I'm still not exactly sure how it works, guess we'll have to see in 3 days! 3 FREAKIN DAYS! 

Live Text also works in the Camera app, so you can point your iPhone camera at text on the go and quickly take action on useful information.

and there's also live text translation. Live Text understands seven different languages: English, Chinese, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, and Spanish. And with system-wide translation, you can simply tap and translate.

 

Spotlight shows you more information at a glance with new rich search results for artists, entertainers, TV shows, and movies, as well as your contacts. And you can now search your photos in Spotlight, and even search based on text in your photos by using Live Text.

I was also thinking about this, LITERALLY, YESTERDAY, because photos automatically add sad music over a happy memory, I mean you can change it but now it'll automatically do that. and now... Memories introduces a new interactive, immersive interface, along with new Memory mixes that let you personalize the look and feel of your story with a song and vibe to match. 

and there's also a health app update. Updates to the Health app give you new ways to share data with your loved ones, a metric to assess your risk of falling, and trend analysis to help you understand changes in your health.

and now you can also hide your email

Instantly generate unique, random email addresses that forward to your personal inbox — so you don’t have to share your real email address when filling out a form on the web or signing up for a newsletter. Hide My Email is built into Mail,4 Safari, and iCloud Settings.

and there's so much more! 

and that's it for this week's blog, I hope you guys enjoyed it! comment down below and let me know what you guys think. I still can't believe ios 15 is going to be here in 3 days! anyway i'll see you guys in the next one ciao! 

iphone 13, apple watch series 7 and so much more!

so the Apple event is over and guess what, The rumors are true! well, the iPhone 13 rumors at least. but we'll get into that in a minute. and I felt like all the announcements were minor and there are some really impressive shots of the announcements and it's just way too impressive for these minor announcements but I feel like they did that to make up for the minor announcements if that makes sense. but the first thing that they announced was the iPad, 

no, we didn't get a pro iPad but we did get an iPad mini 

oh my god I really want it, it's so mighty and small. and it has the new A15 Bionic chip, a new all-screen design, support for apple pencil, and now in four gorgeous colors  

An all-new enclosure features a new edge-to-edge screen, along with narrow borders and elegantly rounded corners.

The 21.08 centimeter (8.3-inch) Liquid Retina display features True Tone, P3 wide color, and ultra-low reflectivity, making text sharp and colors vivid, wherever you are. 

and in addition to all of this, THERES A TOUCH ID ON THE FREAKIN TOP BUTTON, 

The Wide camera on the back of the iPad mini features a 12MP sensor with Focus Pixels and a large aperture to capture sharp, vivid photos. And the new ISP in the A15 Bionic chip enables Smart HDR 3, for capturing even higher-quality images. The back camera also has a True Tone flash, so you can take great photos in any light, or scan documents and then mark them up. And iPad mini can now record in 4K, making it your mobile movie studio. all of this, in the palm of your hand, 

and there's another iPad, they upgraded the most popular iPad

Apple today introduced the new iPad (9th generation), featuring the powerful A13 Bionic chip that packs even more performance and capability into the most popular iPad, all while retaining its all-day battery life.1 Starting at just $329, the new iPad features a 10.2-inch Retina display with True Tone, a 12MP Ultra Wide front camera with Center Stage, support for Apple Pencil (1st generation), and Smart Keyboard, the intuitive iPadOS 15, and twice the storage of the previous generation. The new iPad is available to order beginning today on apple.com, and in stores beginning Friday, September 24. but that's in America, in India all of these products will probably be in stores by end of October or the beginning of November. 

the next thing that they announced is the apple watch series 7. 

the apple watch series 7 also has pretty minor adjustments, 

the screen is 40 percent bigger and there's also 

Always-On Retina display. A brighter view of you. You don’t need to raise your wrist or touch the screen to see the time or other information and complications on your watch face, because the display is always on. And now, it’s 70% brighter indoors when your wrist is down.

and there's also a subtle curve at the edges. apple watch series 7 is the most durable watch ever built. 

its dust, crack, and water-resistant. 

and the messages can fit into the screen 50 percent more. 

Series 7 keeps all the things you care about front and center with its larger screen. And with available cellular, you can stay connected to your family, friends, music, notifications, photos, and more — even when you don’t have your phone.

and now there's the iPhone 13 line up which most of the people were actually waiting for.

so the rumors are true, the iPhone 13 has cameras that are placed diagonally with each other. I actually didn't think that the rumors would be true because well people had crazier rumors for the iPhone 12 that there would be four cameras and obviously that was not true. the iPhone 12 looked almost exactly like the iPhone 11 except there are the square sides and the A 14 bionic chip and now in the iPhone 13 there's the A 15 bionic chip!

at least the 13 looks different than the iPhone 11 and 12. 

and the notch is thinner, and I think they'll remove the notch in the 15. I have no hope for the 14 as well. and there are 5 new colors in the iPhone 13 (and there's the ceramic shield of course)

there's a new blue finish and in my opinion.  I think this color is better than the iPhone 12 blue, the iPhone 12 was just really bold and bright, whereas this color is more soft and faded. I'm not saying that I don't like the color, I do. I just like this more. 

and there's also a pink color this time! I was actually expecting it to be really bad, but it's actually not bad, there's just a little tint of it, 

and then there's the new midnight finish, it's more like the black, actually, it is black. 

and then there's the starlight which looks like white, but I think there's a little bit of grey mixed in it.                                                                                                                                                 

this is probably my favorite iPhone color this year. the new product is red, thank god it's not like the red last year, not that it was bad, obviously, it wasn't I really liked it. but that color was not red, it was more of a coral and kind of orange. it basically looks like kind of any other red iPhone color but I can see a few changes, this year I feel like there's a little more red brick. 

and in the iPhone 13, there's a huge camera upgrade, and that's why the cameras are diagonal, that's actually very smart and it looks really good too.  

and there's a new dual-camera system. 

New Ultra Wide camera reveals more detail in the dark areas of your photos

New Wide camera captures 47% more light for better photos and videos

New sensor-shift optical image stabilization keeps shots steady even when you’re not

New sensor-shift optical image stabilization keeps shots steady even when you’re not

and there's the iPhone 13 mini. and it fits inside it too. 

and now there's the pro and pro max. 

A dramatically more powerful camera system. A display so responsive, every interaction feels new again. The world’s fastest smartphone chip. Exceptional durability. And a huge leap in battery life.

the 13 pro is 15.4 cm

and the 13 pro max is 17.0 cm 

there's also a new color in the pro called "sierra blue" this is kind of similar to the pacific blue in the 12 pro. 

and then there's the silver, gold, and graphite, 

With its redesigned lens and powerful autofocus system, the new Ultra-Wide camera can focus at just 2 centimeters — making even the smallest details seem epic. Transform a leaf into abstract art. Capture a caterpillar’s fuzz. Magnify a dewdrop. The beauty of tiny awaits.

Macro stills are just the beginning. You can also shoot macro videos — including slow motion and time-lapse. Prepare to be mesmerized. 

The new Telephoto camera features a 77 mm focal length and 3x optical zoom — great for classic portraiture or shooting clearer photos and videos from far away. For closer subjects, try Portrait mode, where you can dial in the bokeh and experiment with studio-quality lighting effects.

and there's also the cinematic mode. 

Now iPhone can shoot with a shallow depth of field and automatically add elegant focus transitions between subjects. The cinematic mode can also anticipate when a prominent new subject is about to enter the frame and bring them into focus when they do, for far more creative storytelling. You have the option to change focus or adjust the level of bokeh even after capture. We can’t wait to see what you do with it.

The only smartphone that lets you edit the depth effect after you shoot

Shoot with the Wide, Telephoto, or TrueDepth camera in Cinematic mode

Cinematic mode supports Dolby Vision HDR

and you can also edit. 

The first smartphone to provide an end-to-end pro workflow, allowing you to record and edit in ProRes or Dolby Vision

Harnessing the machine learning power of the Neural Engine, Smart HDR 4 now makes unique adjustments for multiple people in a scene. Our software and ISP automatically refine contrast, lighting, and skin tones for each person. So everyone always looks amazing

and they also added the new storage 516Gb and in the pro, it's also up to 1 TB 

so now it's. 64Gb, 128Gb, 256Gb, 516Gb and in the pro 1TB 

and there's also the 120hz in the 13pro and 13pro max. 

The new Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion can refresh from 10 to 120 times per second, and all kinds of frame rates in between. It intelligently ramps up when you need exceptional graphics performance, and ramps down to save power when you don’t. It even accelerates and decelerates naturally to match the speed of your finger as you scroll. You’ve never felt anything like it.

iOS 15 is optimized for ProMotion, so the things you do every day feel phenomenally fluid. and I cannot wait for the ios 15! 

there are so many new features, so I'm going to be writing another blog about it, so you guys can check that out if you're interested. (link:https://krmadhukar.blogspot.com/2021/09/the-new-ios-15-features-by-neha.html )

updates before the virtual apple event!

 iPhone 13 is coming!.... literally in 10 minutes, 

apple is going to be live on youtube for all the virtual events and of course iPhone 13 and ios 15 and so much more! 

ill be able to tell you guys more about this when the event is going on or when it's over. 

and of course the iPhone 13 rumors, now people think that iPhone 13 will have 2 cameras shaped diagonally 

something like the image above, let's see if the rumors are true. well in my opinion I think something will be new because it's been 2 years and they're still the same, there's the notch and the three cameras in the pro models and the 2 cameras in the normal ones. 

I can't believe it's September again, it feels like just yesterday I was watching the 12 ads, I mean I was actually watching the 12 ads, but I mean for the first time.

facts about friends part 2! -By Neha

I'm back with the second part of friends facts, I love writing these and you guys seem to like them too. and yeah it does take a really long time to write but I love friends and talking about it all day seems like an amazing thing. this show is amazing, everything about it is, thank you guys for reading these blogs where I pour my heart out. 

1. David Schwimmer directed 10 episodes of friends (he's also a director, he's directed many other tv shows as well) these are:

the one on the last night (the one where Chandler and Monica move in together) S06E06 1999 

the one with Rachel's assistant (the one where Rachel has a crush on tag) S07E04 2000

the one with ross's library book (the one where ross writes a book and he guards the paleontology section) S07E07 2000

the one with all the candy (the one where all the neighbors love Monica's holiday candy) S07E09 2000

the one with the truth about London (the one where chandler finds out Monica actually wanted joey) S07E016 2000

the one with the red sweater (the one where everyone finds out the father of Rachel's baby) S08E02 2001

the one where joey dates Rachel (the one where Joey and Rachel try to date) S08E012 2001 

the one with the stripper (the one where chandler finds out Monica had a secret bachelorette party) S08E08 2001 

the one with Pheobe's birthday dinner (the one where pheobe is having dinner with her friends to celebrate her birthday but everyone is late due to a series of events) S09E05 2003 

2. courtney cox was the only one of the six friends who hasnt received an emmy award, i find this completely absurd. courtney has done such an amazing job playing monica. but she did find get a golden globe nomination for "cougar town which probably made her feel better. i mean i don't understand why, she CAN act, she's a great actor. she's done an amazing job in emotional scenes. she really did deserve more. but nevertheless, she has been nominated for an emmy in 2021 after the friends reunion, and the reunion itself has been nominated for 14 emmys. 

3. ross was 29 for 3 seasons, apparently ross says he's 29 is season three, four and five Well, that isn’t possible because we have seen 3 Christmas & Thanksgiving celebrations in these seasons, then how come Ross didn’t grow up? and there's another thing, ross doesnt have a single birthday date.  when ross was in a conversation with gunther he says that his birthday was somewhere in december, but when in a conversation with joey he says his birthday is on october 18th 

4. courtney's pregnancy was hidden in season 10 of friends, courtney gave birth in 2004 (when friends was still going on) but they couldnt write it into the show because monica couldnt have kids, she wore baggy clothes and coverd up. i read in a book that courtney was actuallty pregnant through season 10 but she didnt look pregnant in the show. but then i also saw pictures of her and jen sitting on the freinds couch. in which i could see the baby bump. (that and i watched a youtube video: https://youtu.be/XHQdfwcfCt4

and courtney and david were really trying to have a baby. and she has had 7 miscarriages, and i have got to say she is a storng and wonderful woman. she also had a miscarraige the day rachel gave birth to emma. and she was happy in the episode. but in reality she was very sad. but she pulled it together and did a wonderful job, i couldnt even tell she was sad, not even a little bit. and this is truly one of the things that proves courtney as an amazing actor. 

5. lisa kudrow didnt knwo how to play guitar and she hated playing it. so after a few lessons she gave up learning and then smelly cat was born, which is an amazing song by the way. lisa was good though and the way she plays her guitar is really good. but hearing that lisa didnt like playing guitar definetly surprised me, because i always thought lisa was the one who was like her character among everyone the most but turns out she's the least like her character! and lisa liked the character rachel played by jennifer aniston 

6. friends was filmed in front of a live audience (exept for cliffhangers) its like to see if the jokes and the material and storyline works. and do you guys remember the laughs in funny scenes, well some of them were real! not all of them are from live audience because well, honestly (before im about to say this remeber I LOVE FRIENDS) not all of friends jokes are funny, some of them are kind of funny and some arent and some are completely hilarious, and the other thing is that, in friends there's a joke every 2 minutes, and youre tired of laughing from a completely hilarious joke and when a kind of funny joke comes on, you just cant laugh 

7. many people, including lisa kudrow thought chandler was gay, Kudrow said that she was surprised to hear Perry’s interpretation of Chandler at the first table read because when she first read the script, she thought Chandler was supposed to be gay. and she wasnt the only one, many fans thought chandler was gay and i thought chandler was gay too! but in 1997 david crane told entertainment weekly that he wasnt gay. 

8. at the 10th season everyone in the friends cast were receiving 1 million dollars, and they were the first tv cast to negotiate as a group, during the first season each cast member were receiving 22,000 dollars  During the first season, each cast member was receiving around $22,000 per episode. But by the second season, each actor had a slightly different salary. In 1997, all six cast members refused to work until they all earned an equal salary of $100,000 per episode. This was big news. “Stars of hit shows often threaten to boycott their series in pursuit of higher salaries," The New York Times reported. 

9. Ursula was also a character on a tv show called "mad about you" when she was cast on friends, accoring to lisa it was the producers of friends who decided to adress this and say they're twin sisters. she went on to play ursula in eight episdoes of friends as well, and the one thing that i cant beleive is that, i can't beleive mad about you let lisa play ursula in friends too. i thought this was illegal. and i guess most of you might agree, urssula migtht be the worst character on friends. 

10. the apartment numbers changed during the series, monica's door had the number 5 on it but the producers realised that it didnt make any sense because monica and chandler live on the 3rd floor and it was later it was changed to 20, chandler's apartment was also chnged from 4 to 19, i notcied the number on monica's door before they changed it and thought it didnt make any sense. but then later i saw that it was changed to 20. 

anyway thats it for this blog! i hope you guys liked it, i loved writing it. and comment down below if you guys want a part 3. and also comment down below what you guys think about friends, and i'll see you guys in the next one ciao! 

 

mumbai diaries 26/11 review -by Neha

a new web series was released 3 days ago on prime video called Mumbai diaries 26/11,

 and I'm sure most of you guys must have seen this. the series imitates the real incident that happened in the taj hotel on 26th November 2008, it happened almost exactly13 years ago. the screenplay that is written is amazing. it's like you're waiting to find out what's going to happen next, they did a great job keeping the audience on their toes. the story is about 3 resident trainee doctors who are trying to join the government hospital. Doctors, nurses, first responders, and other hospital personnel deal with a crisis of immense magnitude in Mumbai.

all the characters are well executed. this is a really good show you guys could watch it. and the storyline is very well done. this show is 4 stars from me. 

facts about friends! -By Neha

https://www.instagram.com/itsnehamadhukar/if you guys have been reading my blogs or if you guys follow me on instagram: (@itsnehamadhukar https://www.instagram.com/itsnehamadhukar/ )
you know that friends is my favourite tv show. and i love writing blogs about it. and most of them also get a lot of views, so i decided to do another one. in this one i'll be stating facts about friends you probably didn't know. and i also research about my favourite tv shows and movies A LOT, so i already know these. 

1. jennifer aniston actually auditioned for monica and courteney cox auditioned for the role of rachel, but she convinced the producers and directors that she herself was actually a lot alike monica (a neat freak and super organized) and so the role of monica was given to courtney, and the role of rachel was given to jennifer. i can't imagine anyone else playing monica, but jen playing monica and courtney playing rachel? i gotta admit that would be interesting. and jennifer is also the godmother of courtney's daughter coco arquette. that is so sweet. they're just like monica and rachel in real life and that makes me so happy. 

2. the iconic orange friends couch was actually found in the basement of the warner bros  studios, they probably used it as an extra but its so iconic. the couch that was in the basement is now the iconic friends couch. the couch is also used in the intro. now i'm pretty sure this is not just me, but some dedicated friends fans never skip the intro, i just have never skipped the intro. it makes me smile and dance with them and the reason why friends is so iconic and popularized because everything about this show is amazing and iconic. 

3. all the friends keep in touch with each other and hang out with each other. almost like in the series, lisa kudrow said in the reunion"we keep in touch with each other, maybe not everyday but we do. being a part of this show has bonded us in such a way that we can't forget" (i've seen the reunion 3 times but i'm still not exactly sure if she says the last word. so excuse me if i've said it wrong) what she said brought tears to my eyes, it's really beautiful, i've seen quite a few tv series and sitcoms in where, the actors are not how they seem on tv, but in friends it's sort of exactly like the tv show and that's what makes me so happy, that their lives are actually like that, and i keep imagining how amazing it would be to be a part of this friend group. and while they were greeting each other at the beginning of the friends reunion, you can truly tell how close they are with each other. and yes im crying as i'm writing this. this entire friend group just makes me so happy, 

4. do you guys remember at the end of each episode this pops up: 

does this name sound familiar? well it's  because these are the last names of three people that is kevin s bright, martha kauffman and david crane. david crane and marta kauffman actually created the series. i love that there is a meaning behind this end slate. i remember (i mean when i didn't know the meaning behind this, i watch friends everyday i wouldn't say i remember for that.) looking at this end slate and thinking about what it means and wondered if it was just some names of the producers and it definitely sounded familiar. it was revealed in the reunion about the end slate. 

5. i don't know if you guys noticed this but friends has always been on the top 10 list on netflix 

when the reunion first aired friends was on top 1 again. this is the thing that amazes me, after 27 years, it's still on top 10. im probably responsible for half of that. friends is my comfort show and i watch it all the time. i've seen all of the 10 seasons of friends 10 times. in 1 year. i know. 

6. im sure many of you have heard of this but friends was originally called Insomnia Café

 and six of one. (and so many other things) insomnia cafe sounds very weird and doesn't really make sense, and it was also called six of one because. there were six people in the group and all of them were one together. but the producers decided to go with friends. it's such a simple word, but because of this show the word "friends" is so popular, even when you search friends the definition of friends doesn't show up, what shows up is the tv show. and the show is just amazing, every aspect it is just beautiful. there's not only laughter but also tears. and how they all get through it together. 

7. david schwimmer was kept in mind when ross was written. i wasn't really surprised when i read this. you can tell david schwimmer and ross are very similar. 

david schwimmer had actually quit acting and he started acting in plays  He was also "fed up" with the industry after a bad experience on an unnamed, short-lived series he starred in. "I told my agents not to send me anything," he said. "I was in Chicago doing a play with my company [Lookingglass Theatre Company.] I got the call from my agent, and she said, 'Look, I know you told me not to send you anything, but there's a show I really think you should take a look at.'"

Schwimmer's agent went on to explain that the show was written by Marta Kauffman and David Krane, who wrote the pilot for a show he had previously auditioned for. "And I go, 'Oh, yes. I remember loving the writing.' And she said the magic words to me: 'It's an ensemble show. There's no star. There are six people, all similar age,'" Schwimmer revealed. "And I say, 'O.K., I'll read it, but I'm not going to do it.'" and so he loved the script, obviously how could he not its friends. the writers revealed some of this in the reunion. 

8. when the cast received their paycheck check,

 matt leblanc bought himself a nice hot dinner, where as courtney cox bought herself a car, when matt leblanc auditioned for friends he had 11 dollars in his pocket. and he had an injury where a thick piece of skin came out of his nose, and a huge scar was left on his nose. 

9. joey and monica were actually supposed to be the main couple

 but they ssw the chemistry between david and jennifer and they were the main couple and plus jen and david actually crushing on each other (I JUST CAN'T ANYMORE) so win win. but it would be interesting to watch joey and monica as a couple, how amazing would that be? but at the same time i love monica and chandler so... i guess it would be fun if they wrote monica and joey as a couple in one of the episodes. 

10. the opening credits were actually not shot in new york. i still can't believe this is true, i thought the opening credits was shot at a set or at central park. but it wasn't shot in new york, but fans can still visit it.  it was actually shot in los angeles

Before the series decided on the opening credits sequence, there was a plan to film the cast on a rooftop. The series was shot at Warner Bros. Studios, so the showrunners hoped the Los Angeles background could pass for New York City. The rooftop idea proved to be too expensive so the crew went searching for a backdrop around the studios' backlot. They came upon a fountain sitting in front of row houses that were originally built in the 1930s. The cast was then brought in and wound up filming the opener at four in the morning. They weren't exactly pleased with the cold conditions, especially when they had to jump in the water, but it turned out better than expected.

Even though Friends fans won't be able to visit the filming location of the opening in New York, they can still find in California. The iconic fountain can be seen during the Warner Bros. studio lot tour and visitors are even given the chance to take photos in front of it. Even more interesting is the fact that the same location was used for a scene in Hocus Pocus. The fountain can be seen in the movie which came out in 1993, a year before Friends premiered. Rather than act as New York City, this version of the fountain was supposed to reside in Salem, Massachusetts.

and how do i know all of this? well i did some research and read a ton of trivia books about friends. (not for writing this blog, because i find it fun) 

anyway that's it for this blog, i hope you guys liked it. i've wanted to write this from a long time but i've been putting it off because it takes such a long time, but i knew it was going to be worth it. and that's an ideal day for me, i could talk about friends all day and i did. i'll see you guys in the next one. caio! 

matthew perry is replaced in the new netflix movie "don't look up"? -by Neha

 As you guys know, there's a new movie called "don't look up" starring all the stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Timothe chalamet, Ariana grande, cate Blanchett, jonah hill, and Matthew perry... BUT GUESS WHAT, Matthew perry is now being replaced by someone else, 

I also wrote a blog about this a few weeks ago. here's the link if you guys wanna read it: https://krmadhukar.blogspot.com/2021/07/dont-look-up-netflix-movie-by-neha.html

 to be honest Matthew perry was the one who I was looking forward to, but Matthew perry is an amazing actor and, he was in my favorite tv show (and the really popular sitcom) "friends" obviously I like all the other actors too. I mean Leonardo DiCaprio was in my favorite movie (and the best) titanic. and he's my favorite actor and stuff but so are Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer, and Matt Leblanc (right after Leo)

Netflix tweeted this tweet 2 hours ago:  

\

I wrote this blog because I saw this tweet and I checked the cast of don't look up but in the cast, it says Matthew perry plays dan pawketty, but I did see an article that said Matthew perry was being replaced, and it also said that he did have a role in the movie but it was a smaller part. and he isn't in the trailer anywhere. so I'm still not exactly sure, don't take my word for it, but I think he probably won't be in the movie, but if he is, that will make me very happy. 

and we also just got the release date for the movie! it will be releasing on 24th December, yes! on Christmas eve. that sounds pretty exciting, and it's only 3 months away! 

wow, I can't believe it's almost been a year since I've seen (and loved) titanic for the second time. yes, I said the second time, click the link here if you want to understand what I exactly mean: https://krmadhukar.blogspot.com/2021/02/how-i-am-obsessed-with-titanic-by-neha.html 

that's it for this one, I hope you guys liked it, comment down below what you think about this movie and the trailer! ill catch you guys in the next one ciao! 

my opinions on la casa de papel a.k..a money heist

I'm pretty sure most of you know this tv show called "la casa de Papel" a.k.a money heist. 

this is a very popular tv series on Netflix which is originally in Spanish but I'm sure you guys have seen it in English.  

this is why I think that the tv show is called la casa de Papel (which translates to "the house of paper" in Spanish) because they raid the bank, and the bank is the place where they print money (in la casa de Papel) and that's why its called la casa de Papel. 

and the intro looks like the picture above. 

When Money Heist made its debut on Spanish television in 2017, nobody knew that three years down the line, it would become the most-watched non-English language series on Netflix globally. Created by Álex Pina, Money Heist has an ensemble cast comprising of actors like Álvaro Morte, Úrsula Coberó, Itziar Ituño, Pedro Alonso, Miguel Herrán, Jaime Lorente and Esther Acebo, among others. It was recently renewed for its fifth and final season by the streaming giant. It, however, debuted on Spanish network Antena 3 in 2017 as La Casa de Papel, which means The Paper House. It got the name Money Heist when Netflix acquired it for its international audience.

and it was also supposed to be a limited series with 2 episodes. but it had a lot to the story. 

and you guys must have seen the fifth season, but I didn't know that it was the last season until my dad told me.  

I started watching season 1 yesterday and I'm already on season 2 today... 

my dad used to watch it when it first came out in 2017, and he loved it (obviously) but I was also watching it with him before and I didn't like it, because I thought that there was a lot of violence. it is violent, but now that I'm older I feel like it wasn't just violence. there's also a lot of beautiful moments about life and family and friends, I love this show, it's my 3rd favorite TV SHOW. I meant tv show, not movie so the first is not titanic, if you guys can guess what my 1st and 2nd tv shows are, comment down below! 

that's it for this one, I'll catch you guys in the next one, ciao! 

he's all that might be the worst teen movie of 2021 so far?

he's all that is a new Netflix movie starring Addison rae, who is a huge tik tok star with over 83 million followers on TikTok. he's all that is a remake of the 90's teen hit film "she's all that"

(but the genders are reversed) starring Freddie Prinze jr. (who is also in this movie.) and Rachel Leigh cook (who plays the main character's mother in he's all that) Addison rae is good at dancing don't get me wrong, but acting just isn't for her, she looked emotionless when she was delivering lines that were meant to be emotional. I'm sure you guys have seen very bad reviews stating that this movie's cringy and bad...... 

and that's because it is. it is cringy and bad. he's all that is an exact retelling of she's all that. it wasn't needed. and nobody asked for it. and Kourtney Kardashian's also in it. it would've been better if Kourtney Kardashian was herself. the story follows Padgett swayer who is an influencer much like Addison Rae, and she specializes in makeovers, and she makes a bet to turn an unpopular classmate into prom king. and she falls in love with him. (no this is not a spoiler because it's revealed in the trailer) 

and YouTubers keep roasting this movie and well, to be honest, it's fun to watch. 

although it's cringy it's not all bad. there are some parts that are nice and sweet. 

and that's it for this one, I'll catch you guys in the next one, ciao!
