And then for fun, this pic that I took when we were driving back from the city last week.

Movie Review – Sex and the City

I saw the Sex and the City movie this week.  I have several thoughts on this.  If you are the one other person who hasn’t seen the movie, don’t read on.

1.    I feel like Carrie is such a strong woman – except when she’s around Big.  The guy stands her up at the altar, she rightly beats him down with flowers, and then in the end… she apologizes for wanting a big wedding and takes him back.  And guess what – they end up getting married the way he wanted in the first place.  What’s the next chapter – Carrie barefoot in the kitchen making pies?  I wish Carrie was a strong person in love too, not just work and life.

2.    Charlotte just accidentally getting pregnant.  GREAT.  She was our infertility poster child, and then she goes and gets some divine intervention and now she’s pregnant.  Do you know how many times I thought about the episode where she is mourning on the couch, but then puts on a great outfit and goes to a baby shower after her miscarriage?  How I try to channel that kind of strength?  And now people are going to tell me (and all of my infertile brethren) that we should just relax and stop trying and it’ll happen.  Hint: that is as likely to happen as winning the lottery.  Maybe you should just stop going to work and play the lottery.  And relax.   I liked unpregnant Charlotte better.

3.    Miranda – why was everyone pressuring her to get back with Steve?  Sure, she cut him off from sex and was a bad wife.  She had some things that needed to be worked on.  But he slept with another woman.  Unforgivable!  I wouldn’t have taken him back.

4.    Samantha – Eh, nothing much angered me here.  I’m a monogamist, so of course I wasn’t for her leaving Smith because she was horny.  Being 90, alone, and still horny isn’t going to be fun.  But whatever.  It’s her funeral I guess.

I give it 3 ears of corn.  I’d watch it again with my girlfriends, but I’d still get all fired up again about points one and two.
