Resurrecting the Movies thread...
Meryl:
Regarding "Sex in the City," two of the women on The View (Sherry and Elizabeth) saw a preview and were gushing like crazy over it. I also saw a positive review on CBS Sunday Morning. It seems to be one of those things you love or hate. I think I'd be in the latter category, having watched only two episodes. They struck me as crass and unfunny and hardly a compliment to women liviing in NYC. It seemed like just another show encouraging women to equate self-esteem with clothes, jobs, boyfriends and hipness, and the writing and acting did not make up for it. ::)

I'm with you, Meryl. I saw exactly one episode, in middle-of-nowhere Montana with friends who had a big satellite dish! The whole show was about the women complaining of the taste of their bfs', um, body fluids. That was enough for me. :P

That's exactly what I expected to feel about it. Don't get me wrong, not that I don't consider clothes, jobs, boyfriends and hipness important ;D but I don't like to think they're ALL that matters.
Besides, I never spend more than $100 on shoes, hardly ever wear heels higher than an inch or two tall, and have a hard time identifying with those who spend $500 to teeter 4 inches above the sidewalk.
I'd watch a shoe show where the women are all obsessed with Clarks and Merrells rather than Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo. :laugh:
Lynne:
I like Naturalizers and Timberlands, myself. :)

I'd drink a Cosmopolitan shot of Old Rose to that! :D
