I think the show provides a nice fantasy for people who have no idea what living in a city is really like. Its a sort of cheap Bret Easton Ellis ode to the alleged hipness and coolness of urban upper middle class living. The characters are dull, the plot each week is a repetitive rehashing of the same cutesy observations, "outrageous" sexual exlpoits of Samantha and cloying from the chick who used to be married to Kyle McLaghlan. Oh, and there's the redhead with the kid. She's a lawyer and her ex bugs her a bit from time to time. And at the end, to ensure that middle America does not think the main character is a morally vacant zero, she spews some Hallmarky obervation on the diffuclty of being a chick in the city. "See, deep down, Sarah Jessica Parker's character is just like all of us... she just wants to be loved."

Crap. Utter mindless drivel in a hip package.

Agreed, however, that Curb Your Enthusiasm is simply fantastic.

As to LOTR, Matrix, Hulk etc... people who rush out to see those things crack me up. I wonder if they stay at home and play Dungeons and Dragons when they don't have sci fi fantasies to drool over. If its got wizards, unicorns, warlocks, elves, or any form of forest nymph, faery or goblin in it, I ain't watching it. Star Wars is about as far as I go with the sci-fi nonsense.

BINGO!

Preach on. Heineken is fucking swill. Crisp, tart, swill. I NEVER understand why this crap is served when people want to have good beer at an event. If you want mass marketed beer that everyone knows, there are plenty of great choices. Bass is good. Sam Adams is good. Brooklyn is good. I know some people think that ales are too strong in the taste department (although, drinking pilsners or lagers, or whatever budweiser and heineken are, is like drinking light beer as far as I'm concerned), but let the thrashers of the world drink bud. There should always be a choice of beers which incorporate the tastes of people who actually like the taste of beer and not water. Rolling Rock is similar. Corona I can stand if I have to drink beer that tastes like diluted crap.

Oh, bilmore. If your wife asks "do you like my new shirt?" she means, "why didn't you notice and compliment my new shirt earlier you insensitive asshole? Am I fucking invisible?" She is then wondering if she has become totally sexually unappealing and you are in danger of straying with the babysitter, and the correcting fucking answer is "It's great! You look really sexy in it!"

Dumbass. :rolleyes:

Spree: The cast of Charlie's Angels 2: Full Throttle came to New York last night for their premiere, but they left with tarnished halos. The actresses — Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu — as well as their personal publicists, all perhaps sensing a critical trouncing despite a big box office, decided to keep the press far away.

It's always so lovely when the Hollywood people come to New York with their mediocre pictures and treat the press like a virus. They just don't get it. I will explain.

You are knowingly comparing a pilsner to 3 brown ales. You may as well compare Scotch with Gin.

So why not suggest some lagers. Or Stouts. Or English Bitters. IMHO, all of which are more enjoyable than Ales.

full story right here by the cement pond
Buddy Ebsen, who portrayed poor mountaineer Jed Clampett on the '60s TV series "The Beverly Hillbillies," was admitted to a hospital for an undisclosed illness.

It wasn't known when Ebsen, 95, was checked into Torrance Memorial Medical Center but hospital spokeswoman Ann O'Brien told The Daily Breeze of Torrance for Thursday's editions that the actor's "condition is good."

OK, all you people who said that MaryAnn from Gilligan's Island was hot were sort of right. She couldn't hold a candle to Ellie May.

Actually, I figured that the tearing up of the movie and its actresses was the news -- I pulled out the Ashton bit to point out that it wasn't.

In other star news -- Queen Latifah reportedly got a boob reduction. The article I read called her DDs cumbersome and unmanageable. Cumbersome, maybe sometimes (but not any time that involves sex). Unmanageable, no way but you gotta get to them when they are little and teach those puppies who the boss is. My DDs respect their mommy and would never pull any bullshit that would lead them to be referred to as unmanageable.

Yes. The humor value of this to someone who doesn't watch the simpsons is approximately equal to having a long-winded signature containing dialog from a movie.

It's a funny thing, but IPA tastes fucking disgusting outside the four walls of an Indian restaurant. Since several bad IPA experiences, I'd never thought to pick up a six of Tsingtao at a supermarket, or ask for a Sapporo at a bar, on the theory that all ethnic beers suffer the same need for context.

But now you've got me intrigued, and I might pick up a big-ass Asahi on the way home, though I'd really hate to be sipping beer and watching porn and suddenly get a jones on for anago sushi with nowhere to get it at 3 a.m. This ain't Manhattan, you know.

Ellie Mae was hot, and her dad was a multi-millionaire, but two things: One she could kick your ass- she was always beating up Jethro, and he could kick your ass. Two, the whole critters thing could turn creepy. Otherwise, she's great. My favorite was always Marilyn Munster because she has the humble, I'm very plain thing going on.

Finally, there is a gaping plot hole in SATC. None of these women, if they existed in real life, would be friends with each other. They would never meet at the coffee shop, never call each other on the phone. It's glaringly obvious.
