Chile, please. Ain't nobody touchy I'm just responding to your post. And if you're really interested in finding out more about the show, which I don't really think you are, go watch an entire season or two for yourself and form an opinion instead of relying on others' opinions or three episodes. But I have a feeling you still won't get it (based on your silly references to middle aged women, $1000 shoes, etc.), which is fine, cuz everything ain't for everybody.

I thought someone was going to take their top off.

Graycap23 said:

Yeah, but he's not a celeb at all. I'm just saying that the way he was cast in the show with Chris Noth is a 180 degree from the actual dude. Nothing about dude said suave.

"act-ting" .....lol

I loved the scene with Carrie's wedding gowns photo shoot...*sigh*...all beautiful. But, I just adored her little wedding suit!

Honey said:

I think that montage was my fave part. It was funny how they had Andre Leon Talley at the shoot.

I thought the show was ok. Women being stupid and dealing with/putting up with assholes was something I could relate to. But in general I thought it was overdone most times. I still tune in if I catch it on somewhere.

The movie blew though.

Sarah Jessica Parker looks like a horse, or maybe an old leather boot.

SCNDLS said:

Wouldn't I want to have reason to spend the time to watch an entire season's worth of the show? I'm telling you that all I've seen is what I mentioned, and acknowledged that those might have just been bad episodes. But what I have seen does not draw my interest. If there is more to the show, why not highlight that more than happens? Should a show have to rely on fans to explain the appeal, when it could easily market that appeal to garner a bigger fanbase?

Can anyone tell me what there is in the show beyond middle aged women, expensive shoes, and melodrama about relationships? I'm not against giving the show another fair shot, but this really is all I've seen from it.

meow85 said:

Dude, just don't bother.

Stick to your age bracket - teen and early 20s shows like Gossip Girl. Those are about expensive shoes, meodrama and relationships for kids.

JustErin said:

Oh fucking hell.

Changing the age of the women getting lady boners over shoes and prattling about their menfolk isn't going to improve the quality of the show.

series Miranda would have MOCKED the shit outta him for even wanting to meet on the damn bridge & IF she would have taken him back (& that is a huge "if"), she would have put him through hell as payback.

Miranda was always my favorite character - she was the most sane & had some of the best lines

CalhounSq said:

Eggzactly!

I'm telling you her relationship with Steve was a mirror of what I was going thru at the time. Girl, the episode where she was complaining that Steve likes to do it in the morning cuz he works nights but she kept being late to work was totally us. Another one was when she bought her apartment and was pissed that the contract states "a single woman" I noticed that shit when I closed on my house and was like "Ain't this some mo bullshit???"

SCNDLS said:

One of my faves from her (which isn't really a sane moment, lol!) is when she threw the chocolate cake away, then took it out of the garbage & ate some, called Carrie & said "I just ate from the garbage!!" & had to put dish liquid on it so she'd stop eating it

& remember when none of them were having sex? I think that ep was called "The Drought" or something. & Carrie's neighbors were fucking like mad every damn day, so they turned it into a show & sat @ the window w/ drinks & food. & Samantha got so frustrated & yelled, "GIMME THAT FUCKING CANDY!!!" Damn, I loved that show so much I've watched the box set twice since it went off the air

Having dated a Carrie, there's no way in the world I was going to see this movie...

CalhounSq said:

Oh my God! Miranda was a brilliant fool! The episodes with Blair Underwood were funny too. When they broke up and she told Steve that he got custody of the elevator was a trip. The really funny thing was how she kept telling Steve that Blair was still crazy in love with her then Steve went up to his apt and found him a threesome but still humored Miranda's deluded ass.

ThreadBare said:

What's "a Carrie"???

CalhounSq said:

Is that the episode where she was scared of dying in her apartment and that her cat would eat her eyes so she started overfeeding the cat? Because of this episode, my friends and I do regular DBCs (dead body checks) for each other.

Also, I typically watch the show while I work out but last week I noticed that almost all my DVDs are MIA. Don't know who swiped 'em but now I'ma have security at the door frisking mofos when they leave my crib.

I was even gonna post the Carrie cake photo

There was an episode (Season 2) entitled "Ex and the City" about hair styles (sort of). Big was showing his fiancee around--the model Natasha who he eventually married and then divorced. She had "classic Ralph Lauren" looks very straight hair. Carrie was wearing her hair wild-curly; her Devil May Care life attitude was truly part of her "attire/persona".

From across the street Carrie sees Big and his fiancee leaving a limo and going into a pre-wedding dinner party Big sees her and comes over to chat. After the brief conversation Big leaves; there is a horse and carriage in the street and the horse bucks. Carrie sees the horse buck and its mane goes flying; being the writer that she is, (and with her hair flying in the wind) she ponders the notion that men prefer women with "straight" hair because the women, like their hair, are "tame(d)" but a woman who wears her hair curly-wild is "intimidating" because men do not know if they can handle a wild spirit or if the woman can be tamed at all.

I liked the series because the character's personalities generally mirrored friends and the basic concepts were so familliar.

Yea, I loved Blair's stint on the show. Their relationship was hilarious - "on a COOKIE??" LOL!
