My Dear Hard Drive

Posts Tagged ‘tv’

Yes… I watch it. Still. I know exactly what a stupid brainless show it is, but I just keep watching. Here are some of the things that I find amusing.

1. If you run out of a room to end a discussion, nobody will be able to follow you beyond the door.
2. Nobody finds it icky to do the same person that any of your family member has done – this includes your mother and father.
3. Abortion is not an idea that ever enters the mind of a woman who is expecting a baby for her daughters husband.
4. Dating anyone who is not your blood sister or brother is okay.
5. Falling in love with your half sibling is a devastating thing to happen, but not unusual.
6. You know when a girl is in mood by the fact that she’s wearing sexy lingerie. Sex without sexy lingerie is impossible.
7. You can make anyone fall in love with you simply repeating the following sentences: “You are so very special to me.” “You are such a sexy, brilliant man/woman.” “We have so much history together.” No other substance is required for a relationship.
8. Everyone breaks up at the same time to make it possible for everyone to find a new partner.
9. No marriage survives for longer than 6 months.
10. One adult year equals about 5 child years.
11. Nobody remembers a murder attempt for longer than a year.
12. Murder attempts and their punishments are always negotiable inside the family.
13. You are never really completely dead. Some people have about 3 lives.
14. Everyone has a family doctor, family lawyer and a family detective.
15. To efficiently communicate, you have to walk around the person you are discussing with after every second sentence you exchange.
16. You are never too busy for anything really. Running an international fashion business means doodling some designs right before a big fashion show.
17. “The feel of the seams” is the key factor in a quality garment, and the only thing a designer should be worried about.
18. Nobody can see you looking in through a window.
19. It always snows on Big Bear mountain after the person you wanted to avoid gets there, even in the middle of summer. There is never a snow storm warning, even though they are always strong enough to block the roads.
20. It is possible to have had babies with multiple men, including your daughters two husbands and still be worried about moral issues.
21. There is only about 30 datable people in the whole of LA.
22. The best way to find a new person to date is to have one of your family members give birth to a new person.
23. To keep the dating world going, a lot of wives have to die.
24. Becoming an international level fashion designer is as easy as marrying into the family. No previous talent or education is needed.
25. Babies and children need no more attention from their parents than 5 minutes a week before their nanny takes them away.
26. You can spend 5 minutes a week with your baby or child and be considered an excellent, loving and caring parent.
27. It takes about a week to spill the beans when you need to confess something.
28. The only way not to be in contact with your family is either by dying or moving to Europe.
29. Moving to Europe is more permanent than dying.
30. The media still admires the whole family for their “integrity” and “uncompromising” way of living.

Last night my Mr. Curly (aka. the husband) took me to see Sex and the City finally. Not that I had been in a big hurry to go, but of course you have to see it. If you haven’t yet, stop reading now, because this post will contain spoilers. I will continue on a fresh page so you won’t accidentally read something you don’t want to know yet!

First I have to say it started to annoy me, the feeling of paid commercial all throughout the movie. Half of it was designer brand names and Manhattan, New York. It was too much, but of course no designer could not be left out of such a movie, including a half a dozen wedding gown designers, that had to be put in, even though it was nicely written to the context, and none of it really interfered with the story. But less is more, no doubt.

Secondly, there was some things I absolutely loved. My favourite scene was the abandoned Carrie laying in a bed looking really realistically old, worn out, tired… She looked like a real human being at her worse, no make up or pretentious glamour, just a girl with a broken heart. A fantastic scene. I also loved the way she cried after Big had told her he’s not coming: “Get me out of here.” It was so full of genuine pain, that I didn’t think she had it in her.

I loved Charlotte being so happy. She actually added some realism to the story, as her marriage wasn’t in trouble like everyone else’s was again, suddenly, after 5 years. I hated Jarrod being made to look that old. Men don’t age that fast. I loved that Charlotte pooped her pants. That was completely unexpected. I didn’t like Steve having sex with another woman. He’s not the type that does that.

I liked the way Big acted, even though I don’t believe that the guy in the TV series would have acted that way. He isn’t the type. And a guy who’s a multi millionaire or something, who eats out alone obviously to be around people, couldn’t hack a big wedding? Give me a break. Besides, 200 guests isn’t even close being a big wedding.

But I loved the closet he made for Carrie. That is love. And there could not have been a better engagement diamond for the girl… But again… A guy who freaks out because someone tells him he’s crazy to get married, marries her anyway? He was THAT afraid of a WEDDING, but not COMMITMENT? Of course they had to write some drama in, but these sort of lapses in logic just don’t work too well.

But then again, it would have totally blown if they didn’t get married in the end, now wouldn’t it?
