I saw the movie last night and fell in love! I never really got into the show itself (too busy for television) but I think I'm going to go back and watch every single episode now!

And those wedding gowns... I fell in love...

My friends and I went to see it this weekend in a big group of 10 of us. We thought the movie was great but the whole theatre was cracking up about the mics that were visable throughout the movie.

laylo 06-02-2008 12:59 PM

I guess I am the only one who was disturbed by some of the ways they "resolved" their issues. It was romantic and all, but dumb moves in my eyes. Also throughout the series I was NEVER rooting for Big. Whenever she tells him off I'm like "Go Carrie!" but she always goes back for more.:cool:

aggieAXO 06-02-2008 01:11 PM

Saw the movie this weekend as well and loved it. We have a movie Theater called The Alamo Drafthouse. You can have a full meal and drinks. They even had a special menu for the movie-you could order cocktails named after the girls and they were all made with champagne (very yummy).

I cried the most when they showed Carrie looking into the mirror at the resort in Mexico-she looked so sad and tired. I could relate, I have my own "Big" but finally told him to get lost a few years ago though we still talk. He broke my heart way too many times. I didn't catch the mic problem either.

this movie was so... necessary. that's the only word i can use to describe it. I enjoyed the film and would love to see the same "story" from miranda or samantha's angle. great great movie with a lot of strong, memorable moments.

i sniffled throughout the movie, and boo-hoo cried at some points. however, i waited until i got into my car to really let the waterworks go... i cried myself into a headache! then last night talking to my best friend who is 3 states away, we cried on the phone while discussing the movie. i'm SUCH a sucker.

BabyPiNK_FL 06-02-2008 03:34 PM

I didn't see the mics at my showing on Friday 12am but I did look. I noticed that the theater had the movie showing so that heads were getting clipped off at the top rather than having those mics show!

Sometimes I agree about the whole "Big" thing. How long does it take you to figure out that you should be together. There is no way that I could date someone that long, help him cheat on his wife, ruin my own relationships time after time and then have him do all the stuff that he did in the movie and STILL want to be with him. I don't have that much love.

Join the "Sucker Club." I'm still emotional about that movie. I'm just a big ole softie. :p

Taualumna 06-02-2008 03:41 PM

So who else is seeing it again? I think I'm going later this week with my mom.

If I go, this will be the second movie I see twice during the theatre release. The last one? Titanic (please don't laugh!).

I've seen it twice already and now that I can watch it whenever, let the waterworks go! :D And yes, I saw Titanic three times in the theater and I believe that was the last movie I saw more than once in the theater also, lol.

I'm going again this weekend with some friends... we're such nerds!

I'm dragging a Sex & The City "Virgin" with me to see it on Friday. She has never seen the show but is curious to see what all the hoopla is about.

I brought my friend who was exactly the same as yours to see it on Sunday night. After the movie, she was like that was the ultimate chick flick and I need to watch the show now!!!

I think its funny that nobody bothered to check and see to make sure the dress was an original for her.

BabyPiNK_FL 06-04-2008 11:07 PM

The guy who fitted her had walked another woman in the same dress down a red carpet! When she brought up the subject of the dress being previously worn, he said NOTHING.

Exactly. And a dress that was previously worn by Lindsay Lohan is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. Ewwww.....are you sure there's no illegal residue on it?

hahahahaha

but, um...i think that means that she had the same pattern made for her, not the same exact dress

DSTCHAOS 06-05-2008 02:25 PM

I think it's the exact same dress and the designer said it was one of a kind.

haha...not the end of the world but I'm sure Parker paid a lot of money for it and that doesn't make the designer look professional.

you're right that is unprofessional....and gross. I wouldn't want to wear some other dude's tux.

Well, I recommend that all grown men own their own tux. But men who rent tuxes are wearing hand-me-downs. :)

Turns out the dress was worn 3 times. Better have a helluva dry cleaning bill and not just Febreeze.

yeah, hahaha, I meant, if a tux was made and taylored specificaly (spelling is evil) for some other guy, then I wouldn't want to wear it. It would just be weird. As weird as me being in this thread. (it was slow at work [i would use the embarrassed smile but i don't use smiles])

This is a movie that anyone can enjoy. :)

Ya know, some of my maturely opportunistic (30-50 yo) male acquaintances went to see this movie. They were the only men in the theater, as they expected to be, with a theater full of grown women. Many of the women were gorgeously dressed and single. They had a wonderful evening, if you know what I mean.

Typically (not always), designers lend dresses to celebs. I'm sure SJP rarely pays for her red carpet duds. But, I agree that she should be upset.

Taualumna 06-06-2008 11:16 PM

I saw the movie again tonight, this time with my mom. What's so weird is that I never noticed the first time I saw the movie that Sam wore the ring on her engagement finger.

Pretty sure none of the big four paid for their dresses. I watched the E! Red Carpet premiere episode and most of them made it very clear that the dresses has been given/loaned to them. One of them even said she was planning on having the dress back by midnight. LOL.

It's basically all PR for the designers. What Nina Ricci/Olivier Theyskins did (or their peons, I guess) was in extremely bad taste. Though God knows I love his designs.

ALAMO LOVE. We wanted to see it there but it was sold out the night we went. :(

I was gonna say I didn't know you were from Austin, but I guess they have locations in a few other Texas cities now.

SWTXBelle 06-07-2008 10:55 AM

Another reason Texas is the best - Alamo Drafthouse!
 
Love, love, love Alamo! For popular movies, get your tickets on-line (it's the only way to go!)

And am I the only woman on the planet totally immune to the supposed charms of SATC, the show and the movie? :confused:

ISUKappa 06-08-2008 12:16 AM

The husband and kid are out of town tonight, so I treated myself to the movie. I really enjoyed it.

Taualumna 06-08-2008 01:03 AM

The guys in my boyfriend's MBA class said that they were forced to go to the movie with their wives or girlfriends. They were ranting about how it was torture (LOL)....anyone drag their boyfriends/husbands to the movie?

DreamfulSpirit 06-08-2008 01:11 AM

I brought my b/f with me. I asked him if he would see it with me, and he agreed. I didn't drag him with me. He says it wasn't bad...he was laughing just as much as I was throughout the movie!

texas*princess 06-08-2008 01:50 PM

So I had plans to see it Friday with another friend... we met up for drinks and went to the theater... but it was sold out! I know we should have bought tickets online but we figured it wasn't opening weekend, so we wouldn't have a problem getting in.

We even tried a few other theaters in the area and ended up going to a piano bar instead since it was sold out everywhere on Friday

WVU alpha phi 06-08-2008 02:53 PM

Went and saw it with about 10 girls from work this past Friday. We all dressed to the nines in cocktail dresses and went out for drinks and bar hopping after. At one point during the movie someone cheered and tapped their glass like a toast, so someone was obviously drinking, which made the entire theatre clap.

breathesgelatin 06-08-2008 02:59 PM

My group of friends went with a guy. There's a guy in our friend group that previously watched the entire series with his ex-girlfriend. They've been broken up for 2-3 years now, but he still likes the show and wanted to see the movie with people. It was funny because he was definitely the only guy in the theatre.

ladylike 06-09-2008 11:09 AM

Saw the movie this weekend and I wonder if I have to turn in my "girl card." I did not love it. :o It was cute.

Loved Charlotte and Samantha!! Steve broke my heart ( :( ), but he put it back together again. :)

I never undertood Carrie's fashion appeal. She looked a hot mess 75% of the time. SJP/Carrie should ALWAYS have chestnut hair. It knocks about 10 years off of her.

I saw it today. It was ok. I wasn't blown away by it. I'll turn in my "girl card";)

OMG I would have loved to have seen that movie at the Drafthouse! I love that place! The molten chocolate cake w/ ice cream is my favorite. :)

I finally watched it last night, with my cousin. What a fabulous movie...I got close to crying so many times. Charlotte cracked me up more than anyone. Her facial expressions are amazing. Steve broke my heart so many times during that movie! I love the fact that the baby Brady is the 6-year old Brady. He looks like a perfect cross beween Miranda and Steve.

I can't wait to see it again!
