SATC - the movie

First of all babies, I must say that it was really weird to see this movie without you. Also, I went to see it with H. and although he didn't fall asleep (I was very, very proud of him) I still couldn't really share my excited 'ooooh, have you seen these shoooes' with him.

Apart from that, what is wrong with girls and this movie? The whole room started clapping and cheering and whistling at the beginning of the movie, and again at times during the movie.. I felt like being on a plane with those annoying people who clap when you take off and land.. They're not gonna hear it, people! It's a screen!

The room was so packed, and for the first time in my life I saw an overbooked screening room: they had sold more seats than existed in the room. So about 10 girls had to sit on the ground, before the first row, to watch the movie. I would probably have gone and thrown a tantrum (seats cost about 10-11 euros in France - it's NOT cheap) but they just sat there chatting and stating that they could admire their shoes better that way - very SATC I must say.

On to the movie itself.. mm, well, it was a bit disappointing. If you've seen the trailers, then there's absolutely no surprise left for you in the movie. And it was kinda long, even for me. And it is true that there's too much product placement. I mean, the Vogue photoshoot? Hello? did they really need to say that many designer's names? For me, it went from 'ooh, shoes'/'oh my god, I love this bag'/'cute-crazy dress' to.. "pff, one more" "and again". Yeah, maybe it's because I work at LV now, but this "let's-make-sure-we've-shown-all-the-fashion-brands, so no-one is jealous" became a little tiring in the end.

Besides, you all know that I have a shoe fetish, not a bag fetish. And I felt like they had abandonned the shoes for the bags in this movie. Even when she gives the LV bag to Louise, I though she'd have given her a pair of manolos, you know, kinda passing them along to the younger generation. But no.

Me disappointed.

Oh, and 'Louise' is such a bad actress!!!


Anyways, I hope you're proud of me for not revealing anything about the contents of the movie on this blog - I know how much you peeps love suspense, and you know how little I usually care for it... Aren't you proud now? :)

Next time we reunite, we'll have to see it again altogether!! With loads of alcohol of course...
