A witch and a sexy kitten

I was at one time a closet Sex and the City watcher. Who used to secretly switch to HBO when father had gone to bed, quickly switching over to ESPN when he popped out for - whatever it is he popped out for. I really enjoyed the show, but was ashamed to be caught watching it. Thankfully, the perception of this terrific show began to change. I'm not sure when it happened, but gradually it became acceptable for guys to watch and dare-I-say enjoy SATC.

This was probably a result of season box sets and boyfriends/husbands being "forced" to watch. Why was it such a good show? Why do we still like it? Because unlike most sitcoms; it was a legitimate look into real life. The conversations, the heartbreaks, irrational decisions and emotions, and storybook relationships - that don't work out.

I finally watched the movie. I wasn't sure I was going to. I was bitter at the series culmination five years ago. I always rooted for Aidan and resented Big. I suppose this says something about me, but more importantly it shows the legitimacy of the writing.

"Why we feel what we feel isn't logical, it's emotional. (Carrie Bradshaw)"

A mainstream dating guru wrote that "attraction isn't a choice," but I think SATC revealed this proclamation long before it became a famous ebook. When Carrie chose Big (over and over), she didn't make a logical decision, she made an emotional one. Or more accurately, her emotions made the choice for her.

The movie... well I gave it three stars on Netflix (out of five). It was like they crunched four of the lesser episodes into a feature length film, and yeah that's all I really have to say about it. Though the girls all looked amazing.
