Went to see “Sex and the City” last night with Jill and I take it back, I liked the movie very much. I trashed the series on The Mom Blog and here , but I’m not too proud to say I misjudged those four girls. They were funny, loyal and adorable–all things I look for in a girlfriend. SJP’s personality broke through the frivolousness and I loved how she couldn’t see anything w/out glasses–which she refused to get.
The only thing I’m going to stick-by is my impression of “Big.” I didn’t give a flying flip if they ended up together or not. There was no draw there. He still seemed like an arrogant weasel to me. (…and he needed to button his shirt up just one more button…come on…you can do it…just one more–oogie.)
After the movie we went to get a coffee. The guys in front of us were ordering theirs and the barista asked, “What name would you like for your drinks?” 
Because we are both like-silly-ed, Jill and I instantly laughed and thought of things to say:
Jill, “I’ve always been fond of Sarah.”
Me, “Oh, I don’t know, how about Bruce and Connie?”
When it came time to order, we were shaky with expectation–would she ask us the same question?
But, with great disappointment she said, “What is your name?” to Jill.
Can’t have everything I suppose…
well well – i am so glad you changed your mind about the movie.
How funny–I had totally the opposite reaction. I loved the show, hated to see it go, and really enjoyed their friendships on tv. Then I saw the movie and hated it.
the shoes! the clothes! the friends! but i swear suz, it’s beginning to scare me how kismetty our lives are since i saw it this weekend too…
I used to give fake names in situations like that. I think you should have a fake latte name all ready to go. Bummer that the coffee chick — is that PC? Can’t make myself say BARRISTA, shudder — didn’t set you up.
I like Big (although in several scenes he looked like he was wearing lipstick)because he’s tall and handsome.
But I HATE how he keeps calling Carrie, “kid.” It sounds cheesy and demeaning.
I I had to pick one of them for my husband, it would be Harry, hands down.
Yes! She likes it ladies and gentlman. What is not to like right? Beyond the shoes, the cosmopolitans and the disloyal men, Sex and the City has always been about the bond among women. At its best, the movie shows why that bond sticks!
yay! i’m so glad you liked it!
SATC is so awesome. I wish I had friendships like that! Lasting and meaningful!
I haven’t seen the movie yet. There was one opportunity, but my husband wanted to get drunk instead 🙁
