sex and the city: girls on film March 8, 2008

satc.jpg

just over 3 months. ok…well i’ve been so busy at work that this is my first post in three weeks so maybe three months will also fly?

i’m going to summarise all the rumours concerning what actually happens in the movie.

  • big – real name john james preston, apparently – leaves carrie at the altar
  • steve cheats on miranda
  • charlotte and harry have their own baby
  • samantha gets itchy feet
  • samantha and smith are now living in LA
  • big dies

no sign of aidan, berger or the russian. but, don’t steve and aidan still co-own that bar? it wouldn’t be insane if he turned up again. maybe jennifer hudson, as carrie’s assistant louise, plays a bigger part than we think?

sex and the city: soundtrack season six December 26, 2007

almost five more months to wait for the movie. i’m not used to waiting so long for things these days…once upon a time a may release in the US meant we would be lucky to see the movie before the end of the year.

at the end of the series we saw each girl coupled up. love harry, love big, love smith. i like steve but have trouble with the idea that miranda would pass up blair underwood for a speccy barman from brooklyn, even if he is the father of her child.

i wonder if the film will pull out all of the stops? will we see the return of aidan, berger (god no), the russian (bleurgh), trey, robert and richard? will stanford and his boy candy still be together? will natasha turn up to ruin carrie and big’s chances?

so many questions…and i am so looking forward to jennifer hudson as carrie’s assistant. inspired casting there.

sex and the city: the soundtrack season five December 6, 2007

season 5 used to be my least favourite, mostly cos its so short.

but watching it now, the episodes represent big changes for the characters – carrie transforms from scraping-by journalist to minor celebrity author who can actually afford those manolos. charlotte meets soulmate harry. miranda does the unthinkable and embraces motherhood. and samantha recovers from richard in time for the arrival of smith in season 6.

i didn’t used to like the berger episodes. i found him irritating and snappy. but since i watched him in ‘office space’ i like his character in satc a lot more. ‘office space’ is a unsung gem of a movie if you like ‘the office’ and even features jennifer aniston.
