Sex and the Movie

Final Sex and the City status:

So after watching the entire series from start to finish my friend Bev and I went to see “Sex and the City the movie (2008) Rating: ★★★★½

I definitely got a lot more out of the movie the second time around because all of the characters and past story lines were fresh in my memory. The full frontal scene in the movie was better the second time around too because I knew it was coming so it built up anticipation LOL

Something I grabbed from the movie this time was Carrie’s thoughts on “Are we only allotted a certain number of tears per man?”. I think this is another spin on the saying I always use “The human body is built to forget pain”. Scientists have done studies apparently and if the human body didn’t forget pain they say it is highly unlikely woman would have more than one child. You can experience this phenomenon yourself in a less dramatic scenario than child birth when you think back to a troubled part of your childhood, a bad time in school, or past relationships that went bad. Unless you are constantly dwelling on these situations the pain, the anger, and the clarity of these situations will lessen. In the case of relationships you sometimes have to think hard about why you ended it because the further away from the break-up you get the pain drops away and you remember the good times (Unless of course abuse or something equally dramatic happened).

For me this phenomenon most often occurs with my vacations! I can remember that horrible events occurred on a vacation but the sense of pain or panic fades away. If I still remembered the freaking out, panic and terror that was attached to the following:

  • the bear attack
  • the dead guy in the pool
  • the forest fire and car crash on an interstate
  • the totaling of my car
  • the robbery of my passport, camera, tickets, credit cards
  • the shooting of three people in front of me
  • the plane ride that lost engines and then couldn’t get landing gear down
  • and many more….

Well I can assure you I would never travel again!

So I guess this Sex and the City update turned into a big THANK-YOU to what ever internal safety our bodies have to keep the memories and lose the pain!

Lastly I wanted to share with you the fun experience that Bev and I had at “THE BEST TILL EVER”! At the theater we went to there was a guy with a hand drawn sign in front of his till that read “THE BEST TILL EVER” So naturally I chose this line-up. Bev and I fully acknowledged that he was the best till ever. I was having so much fun already with him and I wasn’t even at the front of the line. When we got to the front of the line he seemed very pleased that we were agreeing with his sign. The result, we were happy, he was happy, the service was great and…. he gave us our movie tickets for the low low price of $0.75! Bev was asking me “why it only cost us $0.75” to which I replied “Well because this is THE BEST TILL EVER of course!” Next time you see a game similar to “the best till ever” play along! Don’t be the person with the cocked eyebrow that thinks the person trying to make their job enjoyable is on crack. The rewards for everyone involved will be great every time!
