Shot!

this is precisely why monday's were always a struggle for us...we would be wasted!

ok...maybe we kept drinking after the show ended or we'd watch the new episode and a couple old ones on dvd so the entire group could catch up.

Zoso agreed to take me to see the movie the first day he gets here He watched a few episodes of the series with me and said it taught him a lot about women in their 30's I'm using it as a learning tool

mr. dream and i were just talking about this flick last night and i mentioned how i thought he secretly may want to see it....and how convenient it is to blame me, etc. he HAs watched many an episode with me and enjoyed the humor, and let's face it...the women are NOT difficult to look at.

exactly! and they're not afraid to show a little skin...especially Samantha I think men like it more than they're willing to admit. I've fallen asleep during 2 out of 3 movies that I've seen with zoso (I stayed awake during "Into the Wild" ) but I plan to stay awake through this one. In my defense I was majorly jet-lagged

hubby is partial to charlotte......and adores carrie's bod. who wouldn't?


i have NEVER fallen asleep in a movie theatre, my husband does often.....even for flicks HE wants to see. even at home, he's seen a million and one half-movies b/c of it. i could probably count on one hand the amount of flicks i've fallen aslep for at home. normally, they have to be horrific for me to do so an/or i am utterly exhausted. i am serious about my movie-watching.

Must be nice. Most of the men I know think of that show as a bunch of bitter and shallow dribble. :rolleyes:

well believe me, he has not watched EVERY episode and i am sure wouldn't say it's a fave...but sure, he's laughed and enjoyed it. i think he also enjoyed the frequent semi-nudity, the frank sexual discussions, etc. while sure, over-the-top often enough, it did give a rare glimpse into women's minds and sexual thoughts.....so it really IS a wee bit educational/enlightening if the other gender gives it a shot.


but sure..it IS nice.

sure, hubby enjoys her frequent display of her assets. however, he's always been partial to brunettes. he doesn't actually like the CHARACTER of charlotte the most, she's far too prudish and a bit of an elitist for his tastes in that sense. i think his *appreciation* is at a far baser level.

I'm not a fan of sex and the city- I never had hbo so I barely saw it in its original runs. I've since seen a lot of episodes. There was something about the ending of the show that really bothered me and I couldn't put my finger on it. Then I read several articles from singles advocates about why the ending sucked. The show started off being about strong, independent women with a lot of their own convictions. but over the course of the series, they began to loose this. by the end, they all did what couplist/family-centric society wants single women to eventually do- give up something about themselves to be in a monogomous relationship and have a family. charlotte gave up her religion, miranda gave up manhattan and her big time career, samantha gave up her free love lifestyle-they all changed to be what society wanted them to be. carrie was the worst. she just gave in and ended up with someone who had caused her nothing but grieve for years. the show started off sending the message of "it's cool to be a single woman with disposable income in new york city and friends can be your family" to sending the message of "but as a society we believe that women should, ultimately, get married, and to do so, probably has to make a sacrifice." Like EVERY OTHER tv series, movie, etc, the climax was marriages, long term relationships, etc. The message that all these women really had was each was totally lost. Once again, romantic relationships won out over other types of relationships.

friends ended the same way. the show started off about being an "urban tribe" of singles serving as each others families. but it ended with them all getting married, except for joey, who was thus out of a family and had to move away.

I think they shot a few different endings to the series...I was surprised it ended with Carrie ending up with Mr. Big...that's why I wouldn't be surprised if they don't get married in the movie. I was surprised that Miranda didn't get an abortion when she got pregnant. I thought if any show would risk by going that route it would be SATC...but nah. It wasn't the ending I would have chosen...but I do love this show! Some if it is just so funny cause it's true And the clothes...yah....i'm not ashamed to admit sometimes I watch just to see the clothes!

ummmmmmm....it's called COICE. life. compromises. EVERYone makes them in one way or another. single or coupled. since all ended up coupled, except smantha, it stands to reason. charlotte CHOSE to become jewish. miranda didn't want to give up living in manhattan but realized it ws best for her family and was HAPPY in brooklyn, and no, she NEVEr gave up her high-powered career. smantha gave up NOTHING. she was still living the single life on her terms. carrie, obviously did suffer a lot of grief, but ultimately i think BIG is the one who did the changing, not her....and she took him back b/c wow, yea, they realized they LOVED each other.


and this is the ONLY post i will make in response to this.
it was a FUN show. many people enjoyed it. others didn't. c'est la vie.


real life....most people end up coupled, with families, etc...so it stands to reason that 'characters' would eventually do the same. personally, i thought it cool that smantha stayed samantha and was HAPPY...and the others got what they wanted.....b/c they (the other3) ALL WANTED relationships and such....just saying to ENJOY EVERY stage of life. being single isn't about waiting, live your life to the fullest...and if you want a relationship eventually, that's cool too. it is not all or nothing.


and, that's it for me.
any/all other posts i shall make on this thread will be about the FLUFF and joy of this movie.


carry on.....

btw - i NEVEr had, and still don't have HBO or any pay for TV, and i've seen EVERY episode rented the first couple seasons, fell in love, then successively bought/own every season now on DVD. it was/is a FUN show.

It has to be a girl's night out.
I used to go out with a guy that always wanted to watch it with me.
It kind of creeped me out.
I am so excited.
