These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Loved it, loved it, LOVED IT!
Sex and the City, of course. At more than 2 hours, it's a little long … and Stanford was given so little to do it was almost distracting to have him in the movie at all. But I love these characters and their stories so, it was great to see them again and in new situations.
The movie completely understands its own appeal. It's a celebration of romance and friendship. The romance of city life … the romance of self-actualization and an idealistic belief in life's possibilities … the romance of, well, love and finding The One. While my friends and I will never be as wealthy, nor as well-dressed, nor as well-laid as this quartet, we will always be there for one another. That friendship can motivate us to be better, kinder and more forgiving is a true and powerful idea, and one we don't see onscreen very often.
Gawd, I can't wait to see this!!!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, this has nothing to do with the movie, BUT!!! DID. YOU. SEE. THAT. GAME. YESTERDAY??? Were you there? Talk about the "come back kids" - what a game!!
ReplyDeleteanonymous is Snowbird - why is it sometimes I can get it to say Snowbird, but most times I can't. Must have something to do with "old dog, new tricks"!
