giggirl Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I haven't read any reviews for SATC ii but I've heard they're terrible. Most of the clothes I've seen look like a drag queen's rejects too. It all looks so wrong. I'm still going though (Beckenham Odeon Saturday Night - I know how to live). Any ED girls already been there and done that? Any thoughts? Let the dissing begin.

katie1997 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 hi giggirl - haven't been yet. A friend went to the premiere last week, said it was good seeing the cast etc but that the plot was really shaky to begin with, she loved the outfits and the humour though....hmmmmm......i'm still going to go along so I can diss it for myself tho.....

giggirl Posted June 3, 2010 Author Share Posted June 3, 2010 EXACTLY Katie. We know it's flawed but we're still going. I can't think of another movie that I'd bother going to see if I knew before I bought a ticket that it was pants. I can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladygooner Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I went last Friday - you have to go see it if you are a fan of the series if only for the scenes starring the FABULOUS Liza Minelli! Only bit I cringed in was the ignorance the girls and the film showed towards Arab culture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angiepangie Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I have seen it on Monday and agree with Ladygooner - you have to see it if you are a SATC fan but even then it just lacked the wits and sparkle of the series. Saying that Lawrence of "arabia" was very hot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plimsoul Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 i am going to agree with above posts, saw it monday and it's just fun to watch the characters for a couple of hours. i have to say i thought the whole middle eastern bit was a complete waste of time but it was interesting to see marriage and kids being discussed... so apart from NY missing somewhat it's a great slice of indulgent fun.

I have watched the series a few times on tv, the movie versions don't often match up, I amagine its all glitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womanofdulwich Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I think SJP is so unattractive and horse looking I can't bear to look at her....Hasn't anyone told her a nose like that needs a side parting to draw attention away from it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giggirl Posted June 4, 2010 Author Share Posted June 4, 2010 SJP is a woman who is not ageing well. Her bones are showing and it's not attractive. She needs to put on a little weight but I suspect she's naturally skinny so might not be able to. I've never found her beautiful but often striking and in a certain light (or airbrushing?) she still looks very striking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moos Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 I love the fact that a (gasp!) non-beautiful woman heads up a series about stylish women, and even more the fact that even though they're all (gasp! gasp!!) over 40 they are still on the big screen.Film does look like a load of tosh, of course.

womanofdulwich Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 It is the nose/parting thing that gets me- having been told for 40 years through various womens magazines(Jackie onwards) that you should detract from a large nose by not having a middle parting, it really grates on me.( I have had a side parting for 40 years!!!)

giggirl Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 I think big noses are fabulous and lend character so if I had a big one I would ignore the "rules" and wear a middle parting with pride. Barbra StreissandRossy de PalmaPrincess DiannaUma ThurmanHasn't done them any harm has it (well Dianna is dead, obviously, but not because of her big nose)? If a side parting suits you WoD then leave it as it is but if some prat gave you a complex about your nose in the distant past then go and get yourself a re-style and more power to you.

Smiler Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 The first film massively let down the series so though tempted cannot bear to watch this one with the dodgy middle-eastern stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
womanofdulwich Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 hah - -the nose- I still have it- unchanged- but you are only allowed to take my photo at a certain angle ( it was in jackie......).;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moos Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 I too wear a splendid conk, and (when I remember) a side parting, although not (at least consciously) because of the schnozz. I remember reading in Jackie that you should manicure your hands every day (for 5 minutes) in case a boy wanted to kiss your hand, and you ruined your chance of being thought a nice girl by showing him your raggy nails.

Snigger..I remember taking a quiz in Jackie, one of those multiple choice affairs. It basically said that if your favourite meal was spag bol (among probably a choice of a Vesta curry, beans on toast or steak diane) that you were a slut. And so it came to pass, that at just 9 years old...I too have a nose, and I wear my hair any way I damn well please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
