I saw the Sex and the City movie last night. It reunited all the major characters: Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, Samantha, Mr. Big (real name John James Preston), Steve, Harry, Smith Jerrod, Stanford, Magda, and even Enid (the editor at Vogue).
** Note: as I write this, I am also watching the live CNN coverage of the DNC Rules Committee meeting this morning from Washington, DC. They just did the roll call, and then all stood for the Pledge of Allegiance. I remember doing this every morning during my school days, but have never seen a group of adults stand for it. **
Back to SATC. I thought it was fabulous - it picked up in medias res four years after Carrie in Paris. It was 2+ hours of nostalgic fun. I am one of those people that really, truly loved the series when it was on (although I didn't have HBO at the time and later rented all the DVDs). It's just so over the top, yet so accurate in many ways. I loved everything about it, and that's unusual for me - I don't get into a lot of TV shows.
The only new thing in the movie was the continuation of the plot, which I won't spoil here (for the really curious, you can read all about it on Wikipedia). But it was satisfying and really just great to see the four gals back together for one (last?) time.
** Also as I write this, the lights are starting to flicker. The forecast today calls for showers this morning and thunder showers this evening. I love a good thunderstorm, but because I recently moved I'm not sure I have flashlights, etc readily available. During my four years in California, we lost power once - and that was due to wind, not t-storms. My flashlights are probably a bit dusty and sans batteries, assuming I can even find them. **
