STC and Wine

I had the best girls night in I can't remember how long last night. Kicked it off with a surprise wine shower for a friend at work that is getting married this month. It was all pulled together at the last moment and it was awesome. We all brought the bride a bottle of wine to start her married life and another bottle to drink. Amazing appetizers, too many drinks and a lot of laughs ensued. Must have more evenings like this.

We had planned the evening around going to see the Sex and the City movie and a few of us managed to get tickets to the 10:30 show. We stumbled to the theater and enjoyed the film with groups of totally over-dressed women and groups of gay men. It was hilarious. To quote my friend Niina on regarding the over-dressed women 'That is just as nerdy as showing up to a Star Wars film dressed as Darth Vader'. Priceless.

I could say the film was average and not as good as the series. I could say it disappointed. The reality: everyone was craving just one last episode and that is what we got. On the big screen the characters seemed over played; Samantha too slutty, Charlotte too goody and Miranda too hard. Carrie is Carrie even on the big screen and they had some wicked no makeup, I think my life is over shots that really kept that character's feet on the ground. Big looked a bit freaky - possibly some eye work done that has left him with a constant quizzical expression. They made some bad excuse half way through the movie for Samantha's character being larger than on TV. Reality; if you read an interview from Kim Cattral while she was on STC she admits that she had to work hard to keep herself about 15lbs below her natural weight as she was constantly doing nude scenes. The woman is in her 50s so I think them making up some excuse about eating instead of having sex was BS.

I am satiated by the film. The STC cravings are gone and I continue watching old episodes as needed.
