Kind of like Gangs of New York. When i think about i remember Daniel Day, and that makes me want to watch it again. But in actuality i don't want to watch that film again. I just want to see the character you know man... i mean wow. man. wow.Dropkickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15565072310591097997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8288666414384718002.post-57884635282520697842008-06-06T17:26:00.000-04:002008-06-06T17:26:00.000-04:00robert downey jr was amazing - iron man was merely...robert downey jr was amazing - iron man was merely good.the coelacanthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034292021589028600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8288666414384718002.post-31003044604319352382008-06-06T16:47:00.000-04:002008-06-06T16:47:00.000-04:00iron man was amazingiron man was amazingDropkickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15565072310591097997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8288666414384718002.post-8613622275919374512008-06-06T15:23:00.000-04:002008-06-06T15:23:00.000-04:00Coelio...

You've nailed the very thing that gets my blood boiling and my attitude cooling about the idiocy of an audience swooning for a bunch of deceitful hosebags masquerading as role models. Don’t get me wrong, I like my films to be down and dirty but this fallacy of Sex and the City characters being representations of real women and their aspirations is a complete joke. Role models?…..

Ba...I was out this weekend for a friend's birthday. Basically it was a table filled with the type of 25-35 year old women who have been waiting for this movie since the series ended four years ago, plus me and my friend's boyfriend, the only other misfit besides myself. Obviously the show/movie came up in conversation and my friend's amazingly ballsy (stupid?) and hilarious boyfriend blurts out that he heard on the radio that morning that the character Samantha dies of breast cancer. While he was being chewed out I was sitting laughing my head off; while cancer itself is not a funny thing, the idea of hundreds of thousands of women being sorely disapointed by this movie made me feel alright that it had actually been made. It turns out that he had been mis-informed and I am back to being bitter about this film being made. <BR/><BR/>Carrie Bradshaw, in my opinion, is possibly the worst role-model for women to ever be taken seriously. She's viewed as strong and heroic but from the bit of the series that I have seen all I can tell is that she's vapid; void of a decent set of morals; and weak-willed. I've never once seen her pick up a book in any episode, since she works from home in the series mostly what you see is her lunching and shopping but with so much free time (and money based on the things she is buying) you'd hope to see her do something a little less selfish or at least character-building with her time. She cheats on her fiance and constantly let's herself be picked up and thrown away again by the same character, Mr. Big. The list of her undesirable qualities goes on.<BR/>Any time that one of the lead characters on this show does something that would appear to be self-confident and possibly role-modelesque, they break down before the episode is through and give in to whatever it was that they had been standing up to. Every single one of the four main characters in the show has given up at least one thing for a man at some point in the series.<BR/> <BR/>I wouldn't even care about this series so much, or that a movie had been made, if the people who watch it could just admit that being able to buy your own shoes and cosmos and have the confidence to sit at lunch by yourself does not a role-model make, if someone could just admit that they watch it because it's fully of snippy comments and snappy dressers.Chandleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14421394992529212822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8288666414384718002.post-20913612601755949332008-06-01T11:22:00.000-04:002008-06-01T11:22:00.000-04:00Great analogy to the food industry Coel.
