Ok, I realize how metro this is going to make me sound, but I have been watching Sex & The City and I feel the need to rant.

Here goes.


I like the show.

and I FUCKING HATE IT at the same time.

The whole "I love the city, it is my one true love thing". ugh. Over it. New York is not a person. It's a fucking city. A cool city. But a city. First episode of season 5 - Carrie is raving about her perfect New York night watching french films and going to museums. People don't do that.

At the end of the episode, this nice sailor guy tell her the city isn't for him because of the garbage and the crime, and Carrie, after narrating (No one talks shit on my town) says "It's not so bad," and leaves. What the program doesn't show is her walking alone, not getting a cab, getting jumped from behind, thrown in an alley, raped, sodomized and then gutted with a stillhetto from her naval to her clavical.

But it's HER city, HER boyfriend... ECHHHHHH!!!! ENOUGH WITH YOU!!! Shut uuuuUUUUUUUuuuuUUUUUPPPPP.

Also disconcerting is that I suddenly realized that all four of these girls resemble ex girlfriends of mine in scary and uncanny ways.

Two of them I liked, two I didn't.

Charlotte is dead on... dead ON, and I never realized it... but even though we didn't get along, I liked her and find the optimism refreshing.

I LOVE Miranda. I've only had one girlfriend that was even close to being as cynical as I am. but she was no Miranda. I need to find a Miranda. Minus the kid.


Now Carrie.... ugh, I can't even accurately describe why I don't like her... she's ugly, wears awful clothes, likes shoes better than life and has a wise ass overrated poetic wit that's not.

and finally Samantha:. You are old. you are saggy. you are gross. you are beyond whorish. you're 50 and you act like your 20 and no one is buying it. you weren't even hot in star trek 6. you weren't even that hot in animal house. You are certainly not hot now, you are not a sex symbol, stop getting naked and kill yourself.

The show is good, yet infuriating. and I am evidently a woman.

I gotta stop watching TV.

That show is a beautiful story of what I want my life to be.

If I were a mix of all those women, I would be the perfect woman.

That's what makes the show great.

It takes one part of the personality of a woman, caricatures it, makes you love it, and makes you realize that you are that woman.

I AM Charlotte - I want to find true love, no matter what the cost.

I AM Miranda - I want to be successful financially, man or no man.

I AM Carrie - I am complicated; I want to be independent, but I love men.

I AM Samantha - I am a sex goddess; I don't care that I'm getting older, I'll get with any guy I want.

That is Sex and the City, my friend. Those are my role models.

I know exactly what you mean. I am also an almagamation of my four favorite caricatured role models.


I AM Leonardo - Introspective and soulful, I am a born leader.

I AM Donatello - I do machines.

I AM Raphael - Bitingly sarcastic/witty; cool but rude, even.

I AM Michaelagelo - I am a free spirit, a party dude.


That is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, my friend. Those are my role models.

I'll bet your Tivo thinks you're gay right now. In order to fix that, you'll need to watch shows that involve football, beer, and sex--minus the city.

I did not read your rebuttal to Rachael's horrendous and cliche comment about who she is and her rodels and "blah blah blah blah blah, ::vomit::" until after I posted my comment.

That TMNT thing was the shit of all shit. Your fo-giv-in-us pleez master.

You ah fogiven grasshoppa.

lay off Rach, though. Chicks dig the sex in the city girls. Perhaps she went a little far and overdramatic, but I'm feelin' the message.

First off, I have no idea why that posted three times. My apologies. Secondly, Pat, I need some support/help on some Spidey conficts I am having after seeing the film. Call me when you get the chance. This is a life or death situation. Seriously. Okay, not seriously, but it's bothering the piss out of me.

Okay pat, so, I'm sure you know by now, McG is no longer directing Superman (2006). However, I'm in a heated debate on imdb.com in a forum. I figured we need an expert to put his two cents in. I think I had the right idea, but why not leave it to you:

http://imdb.com/title/tt0348150/board/nest/9940441

Now, who do the studios have waiting at bay for directing this new Superman film?????? Well, that was a pun. It's Michael Bay. Which, I hope does not happen after seeing Bad Boys II. Make a new post. I'm getting sick of skipping past that Sex and the City mumbo jumbo.

Thank god that bastard isn't directing.
