No, it was NOT ALL her fault, but treating Steve like he was some obligation and saying, "Let's get this over with!" with regard to sex/intimacy does not a good marriage make. And from the context, it had been happening for some time. She could make time for Samantha, Carrie, and Charlotte, but not her marriage? Her priorities were out of whack, too. I WILL say that Steve should have pushed the issue. And not cheated, naturally. But while I don't CONDONE what he did, I do understand it, to a point. Marriage requires work and sacrifice from both partners. At least they took the time to evaluate and decided the marriage was worth saving. I for one don't want to toss tomatoes at you because I felt a bit shamed for having a similar opinion. I appreciate that there's another person who didn't see the situation as black and white either. And this is coming from someone who's had trauma, mental health issues, has had time periods where I worked every day of the week juggling different jobs, family medical issues, etc, etc. I find it really insulting that there's this implication that if you see Steve as anything other than an awful cheater and Miranda as perfection, that you must be clueless about stress and anxiety, have no idea what it's like to have sex not be a priority, and be cool with cheating.

The marriage was in trouble. I 100% believe if things had been good or even OK in their marriage Steve would not have cheated. However he did cheat and that was wrong. Yes perhaps Miranda should have tried to make more time for them to have time together but Steve was at fault and I don't think Miranda should have forgiven him easily. They both needed to work on repairing their marriage if it had any hope of surviving. 4 hours ago, Hiyo said: Steve was an asshole for cheating on Miranda. Yes he was.

I don't see judgement, but that's just me. For me what's important is feeling like we're allowed the space to criticize the show, its characters, and its writing. If everyone is simply defending the show, I feel like that's just one point of view. There's some things I love about the show, it's like my 5th favourite show of all time, or something?

I’m not taking away your woman card. If one gets married with the understanding that meeting each other’s need for partnered sex is a part of the equation, just dismissing that need (without a really good reason- like a severe health issue or something) is kinda crappy. Miranda had time for all other sorts of recreation but not sex with her husband? I understand why Steve cheated. I don’t agree but I understand. And he confessed immediately. They addressed their marriage in therapy and worked on things. 7 Link to comment

I just wish Samantha wasn't turned into an unprofessional sex cartoon. Think about it. She blew up what could have been a huge account because she was unwilling to follow the customs of the country, and was unable to control herself around a good looking guy. I also wish they had more deeply explored Carrie and Big's relationship problems.

Yes, for me that's the best thing about the second movie. The domestic struggles that Carrie and Big were experiencing (I use the phrase "struggles" very loosely here, Carrie was very privileged) was the most interesting thing about the movie and by this point SJP and Chris Noth had such an ease with each other that they should have hit this point harder and explored it further. Abu Dhabi pointed out how racist and ignorant the writers could be, such a mistake. And even though it was total stunt casting, maybe the Penelope Cruz character could have had more than like 2 lines or whatever she had. At the same time, Miranda, Charlotte, and Sam could all have their own plots as well and of course all the 4 women would hang out, but not in the way that they did in the second film, and they didn't have to try to ruin Samantha.

Mu Shu October 24, 2020 Share October 24, 2020 Speaking of apartments, I hated Big and Carrie’s apartment in The second movie. It was dark and fussy, and appeared to be a one bedroom. You would think that if Aidan could afford Carrie’s apartment and the one next door, Big and successful author Carrie could have sprung for a second bedroom.

Charlotte's apartment (the one she got from her marriage to Trey) was OK but I wasn't crazy about the decor. I know it was supposed to be conservative and old money like Charlotte but there was too many earth tones. It needed some color. Especially after she had kids. 2 Link to comment

qtpye November 5, 2020 Share November 5, 2020 This is an interesting video about how everyone loves Samantha but most women do not want to be her. This is because even on the show she is often treated like a joke. It also discusses that older single men who sleep around are well respected where older single women are looked upon as pathetic. It also addresses how Miranda is the sleeper hit character of the series. When the show started the Miranda character was considered undesirable and now she is probably what most women identify as the most. 3 9 Link to comment
Ms Blue Jay November 6, 2020 Share November 6, 2020 (edited) Kim Cattrall was on The Kelly Clarkson Show and shared this story about her life, which I had no idea about. From Wikipedia: Quote On 21 December 1988, Cattrall was booked on Pan Am 103 from London to New York City. She missed the doomed flight because she made the last-minute decision to go shopping at Harrods to buy her mother a teapot. She re-booked herself on a flight that departed Heathrow 45 minutes after Pan Am 103 departed. When she landed in New York, she learned that her original flight was brought down by a terrorist bomb over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing all 259 people on the plane and 11 people on the ground. Long before Sex and the City even started. 😲 Some of you are interested, so here's the video as well. Her mother called her and said I need that teapot 🙂. She was being a good daughter. So sad for those people on that plane. Kim also said she just became a U.S. citizen. https://www.kellyclarksonshow.com/video/kim-cattrall-nearly-boarded-a-plane-that-exploded-after-takeoff/4254675 Edited November 6, 2020 by Ms Blue Jay Link to comment

Another passenger on that doomed flight happened to be the son of actor David White, most famously known for his role on Bewitched as Larry Tate. Apparently, his son's death gutted the poor man, and White would pass away not long after in 1990. 4 Link to comment

LemonSoda December 23, 2020 Share December 23, 2020 You learn something new everyday. Today at the Dentist, my appointment ran late so I sat there flipping through all of their waiting room books. One was Nicky Hilton’s. She mentioned that it was supposed to be the Hilton sisters as the loud neighbors creating all the loud ruckus when Samantha moves in to the Meatpacking District. Unfortunately they missed their flight from LA and everything was replaced last minute. I was surprised to read that because I can’t recall hearing it before even in all the SATC books and specials. 3 Link to comment

chocolatine December 27, 2020 Share December 27, 2020 I don't have high expectations for the reboot. If there were good stories left to tell, they should have been told in the second movie. This seems like a vanity project for SJP because she was never as successful in anything else after SATC, and Kristin and Cynthia are probably just there for the paycheck. 9 Link to comment
Ms Blue Jay December 27, 2020 Share December 27, 2020 (edited) I really with they could have made it work with Kim. For many of us she's the obvious highlight of the show. That salary information is a real eye opener. People always put down the show "Friends" and its cast but they were so brilliant to negotiate as a team. I think "Big Bang Theory" followed in their footsteps. I know that the show was FOR SJP and based AROUND SJP, but damn, the differences are so staggering. I think that "Friends" was supposed to be a show for David Schwimmer too and he started out the highest paid but his mother is a brilliant lawyer who told him to negotiate this way anyway, and that's why the show lasted 10 years and everyone's under the impression that they still get along with no hard feelings. (Oh, and they all ended up multimillionaires obviously.) There's so many shows that seem to go through this drama of the "star" not getting along with the fan favourite - The Golden Girls, The Good Wife, Star Trek (Kate Mulgrew/Jeri Ryan) and now Will and Grace as well.

I just checked the salaries and damn! Had no idea SJP got paid so much more. I'm not an SJP hater. I really enjoy her actually. But I enjoyed ALL the women! How do people put down Friends? I've seen enough Friends to know the characters by name, but I definitely find the show a little bland, compared to something like SATC. I think Friends wasn't escapism enough for me. I like either a lot of glamour or dreamy looking guys to watch. lol Not saying the cast was unattractive, just didn't do anything for me. I love that they all get along and were a team though. Suzanne Somers thought she deserve the same amount as John Ritter on Three's Company right? I liked her acting just fine, but John was truly the star of that show. She was pretty blonde #1. There are times multiple characters and actors make a show, then there are others when there's one who's crucial and the rest really are just supporting. 4 Link to comment

And most importantly both had much talked about wardrobes of their female characters. 1 6 Link to comment
chitowngirl December 28, 2020 Share December 28, 2020 (edited) And considering between TBS, Nick, and Nick 2 Friends is practically on 24 hours a day, it’s popular with a lot of people. That’s where the Executive Producer status can pay off...syndication Edited December 28, 2020 by chitowngirl 3 Link to comment

Not4Me January 9, 2021 Share January 9, 2021 Hmph, Carrie is still ranked way too high. Former wild girl, Laney from the baby shower episode is more likable than her. 8 1 Link to comment
