(no subject)
Ok, I realize how metro this is going to make me sound, but I have been watching Sex & The City and I feel the need to rant.
Here goes.
I like the show.
and I FUCKING HATE IT at the same time.
The whole "I love the city, it is my one true love thing". ugh. Over it. New York is not a person. It's a fucking city. A cool city. But a city. First episode of season 5 - Carrie is raving about her perfect New York night watching french films and going to museums. People don't do that.
At the end of the episode, this nice sailor guy tell her the city isn't for him because of the garbage and the crime, and Carrie, after narrating (No one talks shit on my town) says "It's not so bad," and leaves. What the program doesn't show is her walking alone, not getting a cab, getting jumped from behind, thrown in an alley, raped, sodomized and then gutted with a stillhetto from her naval to her clavical.
But it's HER city, HER boyfriend... ECHHHHHH!!!! ENOUGH WITH YOU!!! Shut uuuuUUUUUUUuuuuUUUUUPPPPP.
Also disconcerting is that I suddenly realized that all four of these girls resemble ex girlfriends of mine in scary and uncanny ways.
Two of them I liked, two I didn't.
Charlotte is dead on... dead ON, and I never realized it... but even though we didn't get along, I liked her and find the optimism refreshing.
I LOVE Miranda. I've only had one girlfriend that was even close to being as cynical as I am. but she was no Miranda. I need to find a Miranda. Minus the kid.
Now Carrie.... ugh, I can't even accurately describe why I don't like her... she's ugly, wears awful clothes, likes shoes better than life and has a wise ass overrated poetic wit that's not.
and finally Samantha:. You are old. you are saggy. you are gross. you are beyond whorish. you're 50 and you act like your 20 and no one is buying it. you weren't even hot in star trek 6. you weren't even that hot in animal house. You are certainly not hot now, you are not a sex symbol, stop getting naked and kill yourself.
The show is good, yet infuriating. and I am evidently a woman.
I gotta stop watching TV.
