Four women writers went to the movies last night and saw Sex and the City. (What, you think we only go to readings?)
In the scene where Carrie sits down at the computer and stares at the screen where she has typed
Love.
and she pauses and then adds an ellipsis:
Love...
pauses again, then backspaces out the ellipsis:
Love.
Why were we the only ones who laughed...?
The movie was somewhat disappointing, I'd say. Although there were flashes of comic brilliance, at times it felt like a Brady Bunch reunion flick. Why were the women always so insanely happy and "surprised" to see each other? Why was Carrie's hair always pulled back from her forehead like that? And why did so many of Samantha's outfits look like they came from the Dress Barn?
Besides the naked neighbor, the one who had the most on-screen sex was Samantha's annoying dog. What was that about?
Beforehand, most of us decided we liked Miranda the best. This could be a good name for a band: The Three Mirandas.
Stay tuned.
