Sex and the City

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Although I was told not to go see the movie, I did. A friend invited me and I couldn’t say no. I wanted to see the movie after all. I like fashion, my mother is Italian, I lived in Milan for six years, how could it be otherwise? Now that I’m thinking about I have to go shopping really fast. It’s been almost three years since last time I enjoyed shopping. Milan’s shopping garden is the best in the world if you ask me, Dior, Channel, Gucci - I love the Milan store, it’s huge and complete - , Prada… The Via della Spiga and Montenapoleone streets are amazing if you have money and time to spend. If you don’t, just make sure your girlfriend never crosses!

I’m lost, I was supposed to write down about the movie. Okay, it’s a fact I dislike it. What was it, a failed love story? I don’t know if you need to find a meaning behind every movie you see, but the scenario was awful, I mean… I can’t even tell if there was any. Maybe they just wanted to make the last episode. As a guy I have to tell that the partners of the girls were amazing. There aren’t men like those around. I mean, there are, but they are too few. Shining, good lucking, rich and wealthy? All four? Of course on the other hand, I don’t know yet a bride that has been left on the altar waiting, but hey I’m still young, 26 is not too much ;-)

The one good thing though, was the iPhone and the MacBook Pro. The girl next to me was looking at the clothes, shoes and bags. I forgot to mention the amazing houses. I mean, especially the Manhattan retiré that the couple was supposed to live was amazing. Most of the clothes were very good looking too, although I dislike made in USA clothes. As an Italian I’m much more into French/Italian fashion. I liked the houses very very much though. Of course the movie was a screen preview of next season’s fashion but who cares.

Now I didn’t go there with my girlfriend. I went with female friend of mine. My gf though wants to see this movie, I’m not quite sure if I can stand it. Especially the first half, seemed utterly boring to me. I must admit that I wanted to leave at the break, but I couldn’t leave my friend alone. So I stretched my fingers and sit down for the second round.

So if you are a guy, just don’t go there. It’s like the The Devil Wears Prada thing. It’s boring and it’s frustrating if you are a guy. You won’t laugh with most of the jokes, some you’ll miss, others you’ll hate.

However, I need to point out here that, as expected, the movies were full of women, which is a good think now that I come to think about it. Anyway, if you are a guy it’s a NO movie, unless you have plenty of time to lose and an ease mood.
