Sex and the City

[clevername]

I hope this movie bombs with the luminosity of a dying firefly. I don't think that even makes sense, but I get so irritated when I see the commercials for it I can't think straight.

I read a quick review. This is just a spoiler on what the main plot is, so read on if a tiny spoiler won't kill you:

[SHOW]

The main plot is an attempt to murder one of their husbands for money before he has to surrender the funds to the government for insider trading.

Normally I wouldn't put myself in the shoes of the crowd that says "I don't understand women" but this just makes me go WTF. How can you sympathize and enjoy watching characters that are so shallow?

I'm pretty sure that plot summary is bogus.

The plot of the movie takes a little while to develop. But basically, the storyline is this: Carrie calls all the girls together and asks them for their help in murdering or at least maiming Big. She says that he has a multimillion dollar insurance policy and it’s the only way for them to make any money. During a wild night of drinking cosmos, the girls discuss many ways to kill Big — poisoning him, shooting him, running him over, chopping him up with three very cute axes, and drowning him in a tub of Skyy Vodka. They decide they will kill him by inviting him to the roof of the Empire State Building and then pushing him off.

It's from Rollingstone so I wouldn't exactly say its bogus. I never watched Seinfeld. I was still watching cartoons when that show's finale aired.

You may want to read that again. For example:

Carrie, on the other hand, has quit writing her column and now answers the phone as an operator for Land's End. It's quite the funny repartee as Carrie — saying stuff like "do you want that down vest in Hunter or Merlot?" — and Big navigate such a tight environment. They love each other, it seems, but they bicker about Big's smoking and the Con Edison bill. Also, they have seven kids. Four of them are Big's; the rest are Jason Giambi's.

And:

. There's good news: after trying very hard, Charlotte and Harry have conceived a child naturally. Now the dilemma is whether or not to get rid of the adopted child. Harry says no. Charlotte says yes. After a long argument, they agree they will send their natural child to a private school and their adopted child to a public school. The natural child will get clothes from Barney's, and the adopted child will get his from Goodwill. They also agree to call the adopted child "it." It, who is played by Frankie Muniz, nearly steals the movie when he complains about having to sleep outside in the hall.

Eh, still seems like a perfectly logical plot for this show.

I did miss the part about Giambi, though.

They had a midnight screening in Chicago and a report on the WGN news this morning. I guess people actually wore formal dresses and stuff.

One girl was quoted as saying "I've been waiting my whole life for this".

Oh no you di-int.

Not nearly the same thing.

I really can't wait to be through with this movie and be done with it.
