Just watched Lars and the Real Girl and loved it.
Interesting, touching, and sweet, this movie was not at all what I thought it would be. I ended up caring about, and genuinely appreciating, Bianca (the blow-up doll) who is bound to a wheelchair, attends church, volunteers in the library, etc. I think all boys who have problems expressing their emotions and dealing with reality should watch this movie immediately.

Let’s put it this way: It was so good that I stopped looking at the new shoe selection at Barneys online. Netflix it now.

• Lots of printed t-shirts & interesting denim option
• Shoe selection could use some serious work
• But don’t just take my word for it, check it out for yourself - Aloha Rag

During my lunch break today, I headed over to Barnes & Noble and the minute I walked in - BAM - there it was, staring right at me, the book: Sex and the City: The Movie.

I walked right over to it and immediately picked it up, opened the cover, took a quick peek, and smiled. It’s basically the book I’ve been waiting my whole life for - not really, but you know what I mean. I loved loved loved the movie - read my Sex and the City: The Movie: The Review if you haven’t already - and this book just brings back each and every moment all over again.

A book for the true Sex and the City lovers, the lovers of fashion, lovers of Patricia Fields, lovers of Manolos…lovers in general. Millions of pictures, touching & memorable quotes, and little tid-bits of information: Did you know that the studded belt Carrie wears throughout the movie was named ‘Roger’ by the costume department? Neither did I.

“It took four friends three days to put twenty years into thirty-eight boxes.” - Carrie
It took 176 pages of one book to put down countless great moments of the movie, which brought together six fabulous seasons that millions know and love.

I bought it for $30 because I have no impulse control, but you’ll save $12 if you buy Sex and the City: The Movie: The Book here…just think, after that savings you only need $600 more and you’ve got a new pair of Manolos.

I don’t have too many posts on this blog yet, but I do have at least two recent ones about SATC…Now, this isn’t supposed to be a SATC blog - and I’ve actually been trying very hard to limit my entries about it, but hey, you write what you know and you write what you love.

Anyway, I saw Sex and the City: The Movie last night and fell in love with the whole show all over again. I entered the theater with good friends and my darling boyfriend, wearing a big silk flower pin and (as my son calls them) my “fancy shoes,” light pink satin Valentino heels complete with feathers, bows and swarovski crystals.

After getting an Icee, we sat in our seats, looked for other dressed up girls, and waited. The whole theater was alive with excitement and buzz; after months of foreplay - via June’s issue of VOGUE, theatrical trailers, images leaked the same day as shooting, etc - we were finally arriving at the climax. When the opening music started, my heart jumped.

It opens happy, so happy in fact that it’s sort of cheesy. It’s a celebration of SATC, the characters, New York, all of it, and right away it delivers everything we’ve been hoping for and want: marriage, the perfect apartment, fantastic clothes, happiness, beauty, love, and Big. And I swear this is within the first 30 minutes or so.

And while it does give us what we want, the movie makes fun of it at the same time.

Life is just too good and things are a little too perfect…until, of course, everything comes crashing down. My boyfriend felt the movie was really dark and depressing for a long time, which I sort of agree with. All the mopping and dwelling on things could have been cut down a bit, but overall the movie gives you what you think you wanted, then gives you the story, and then gives you back all of the things you love about SATC.
