Sorry Actually Tastes Crass
I really want to watch the SATC movie, but I'd feel like I'll be breaking a promise if I watch it without n2. Okay, I know he doesn't care, and he gags at the thought of chick flicks, but I had this whole idea of what it would be like to watch with him ever since I read that SATC was going to be on the big screen. I remember screaming in excitement inside my room, and yelling at him, "THERE'S GONNA BE A SATC MOVIEEEEEEE! AIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!" All my E's were extended. To his credit, he managed to look semi-interested until I told him that he was going to watch it with me. (or meeeeeeee! to be exact) No eeeeexcuseeeeeees.
I've always imagined the two of us in the theatre, laughing at the squealing girls and their embarrassed boyfriends in the audience, and then when the screen lit up with SATC, I would squeal and clutch his arm. I would go, "Nooooooo...!" whenever Carrie did something stupid with Big, and sigh blissfully during every tender moment. and during the miranda/steve bits, I would turn to him and either say, "Which part of me is like that?" or "Am I like that toooooo?" After the movie, I would ask him what he thought of it, and I'd probably say that I wish it had been longer or we had seen some other character or how the outfits were OTT or not fabulous enough. Then he'd tell me what he learnt from the movie, to which I'd squeal that we should catch it again. He'd groan and offer to buy me the dvd when it comes out instead, so spare him.
But its never going to happen now.
I'm going to avoid reading all reviews and synopsis (what's the plural of synopsis? synopses?) until I decide whether I'll be catching it on my own or not, but chances are that I won't be watching it because it'll feel like a betrayal of sorts. Insanely silly, isn't it? Especially for a hardcore SATC fan as myself. I guess I'll wait for the dvd to be released and then during one of my few trips back to SG, I'll go to his house and demand to watch it at least twice. with him, awake and sober. (why I felt like adding naked is beyond me. awake, sober and...naked? what the-?)
In a funny way, watching the SATC movie would have felt like, closure. Do I dare venture to explain why I feel that way? No.
I remember a long time ago,
pinkrabbit55 was telling me how upset she was that she wouldnt be able to catch Kill Bill Vol2. with Qx because they had broken up (I think). At that time I just Awww-ed her, but I didn't really get what the fuss was really about. Hmm....but now, my empathy has reached new and deeper levels. I still believe that I am a person of little sympathy, especially commercialized sympathy, but at least I can be a little more understanding. Phwar.
This may be out of sorts, but at the back of my mind, I'm thankful that I didn't make any more movie-promises with n2. Think of all the movies I would have missed.
Blast my sense of sentimentality.
