Anyone who reads this blog knows that I hardly ever write reviews of movies or TV shows. But Sex and the City is a movie that you need to dissect afterward and, well, I went to see it alone. :(

I wondered about Marcus too. I guess they can't put every character in, but still sad. Some of the characters might as well have not been there at all (Madga, even Harry). And the Samantha-fat thing was just crazy. I didn't even understand what they were freaked out about until whatshisface said something, and I even knew that was going to be a plot point. I don't think it was set up well ahead of time. I don't remember her overeating or anything.

I thought the Miranda story was good. The Carrie parts were typically Carrie. Although I do kind of think her having an assistant really pushed the bounds of believability. Although on the other hand, why would THAT be the most unbelievable thing? That apartment was pretty unbelievable.

Samantha's eating habits hopita June 8 2008, 14:33:39 UTC

I remember a point when she was watching Dante and eating large gobs of guacamole, but that's about it.

I went to the premiere, I loved it, and I really don't have any complaints. :) Perhaps I'm just easy to please.

The Stanford and Anthony thing bugged me, too. Come on, they hate each other! What the hell!

Personally I'm glad Sam ditched Smith. I've never thought he was even remotely attractive, and especially not in the movie (whoa, time has *not* been kind there), and he just annoyed me. She's better off being single.

I was worried that Steve wasn't going to show up on the bridge.

I went to see the movie a second time and I believe the problem is freckles. Too much sun exposure = freckles, which do not look good on him.

Okay finally I saw it...
Now. Okay first, let's see. I looooved the Stanford/Anthony couple thing! How great! That was the only really surprising part of the movie, I thought.
Oh - they revealed his name in the last episode. That's why I think they didn't make a big deal of it in the movie.
Yeah the ring thing was so obvious... and the "love" password...
...the thing that bothered me the most was HOW FUCKING LAME WAS IT that the love letters turned out to all be emails? Meh.
And we here in Korea also did not like her wedding dress, although we liked the bird hairdo.
And I will probably write more in my actual journal...

I wrote a whole big response and then my computer crashed.

But I do remember this part:

the thing that bothered me the most was HOW FUCKING LAME WAS IT that the love letters turned out to all be emails?

I was more troubled by the fact that the "From Me" email was so amazingly pathetic. He copies two dozen love letters from the book but all he can come up with is two sentences of his own? Ack.

Also, I didn't like the dress or the bird. And Miranda's wedding hair was the worst.
