Ow. And I thought FedEx Arena and the Western & Southern Financial Group Masters Tournament were bad.

Oh well. I guess we should have seen this coming when Dr.Cornell West turned up in Matrix 2.

I will go see this movie, and I will enjoy the shit out of it, despite how terrible I know it will be. And I am not embarrassed to say this.

Okay, I am a little embarrassed.

@dreamweave: m not embarrassed at all....S&TC is leaps and bounds beyond what a lot of Jezzies watch - think all the ridiculous reality tv stuff

Of course, i realize the "leaps & bounds" isn't saying much ; )

@Scout: People place so much emphasis on the "social impact" of SATC that they forget that it was actually pretty damn funny. Also, hating Carrie is a pastime that never gets old. I'd much rather watch Season 3 for the eleventyillionth time than watch 2 seconds of those bullshit reality shows (I do not understand why they appear to be so popular around here)

In all seriousness I wonder how the movie will address the economic recession, they have to address it in some fashion. right?

@bluebears: Oh don't be silly. Trivial things like a collapsing economy never affect pretty white rich people. It's not like Carrie's career is dependent upon the publishing industry or newspapers or anything that silly. Or Samantha's PR firm counting on uber rich clients like Bernie Madoff to help pay the bills.

If anything, they'll just be even more fabulous because ignoring the problem is always the solution.

@bluebears: I think expecting realism from a property that started off with a writer, on a columnist's salary, being able to afford an Upper East Side apartment is kinda like expecting birthers to have, you know, intelligence.

I thought that Mr. Big worked for the criminal justice system, where the people are represented by two separate yet equally important parts: the police, who investigate crime, and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories.

And, probably. Although most firms are feeling the pinch because clients are taking even longer to pay their bills than usual.

@sportz.star: no no no, Skadden's is too much in a touristy location, Mr. Big would have to be somewhere classier. I say Weil Gotshal etc.., that location trumps Skadden's due to its proximity to Central Park. They could tie it in that they bought the apt. in the last movie cause its close to his work.

Some of my auntie's that married rich have the most miserable lives imaginable. One of these jerks actually takes my aunts salary for the job she has so she doesn't get bored, and gives her a weekly stipend.

You know what? Fuck that bullshit.

This article makes me so happy to be a broke schlub with a woman who loves me beyond comprehension. Considering she's a special ed teacher, and I'm starting law school next fall so I can go into public interest law, I think we're pretty much resigned to being broke forever. And you know what? In 20 years, I think I'm still gonna love waking up next to her, not having to worry about why she's really with me. Both the gold-diggers and the gold-havers are awful, shallow, sad individuals. I wouldn't trade places with them.

@Sasquatch:

More power to you chief - congrats.

No one is disrespecting you or your choices. Surely as a future lawyer - you can see that there is more than one way to see the world....

These people have a very unsentimental view of the world and how it works. Why is that so hard for people to understand ?

@646Hedgie3: Because most of us want to believe that even the most unsentimental people have a heart. See: The popularity of Don Draper and Mad Men among even feminist women.

I'm not arguing with your analysis that this all seems to be a mostly business-like transaction, but people have to be prepared for the consequences of basing a relationship on something other than love. If he loses his money, she's gone. When her looks start to fade, he moves on to a new pretty twenty something. It's ugly.

As a young woman who a) loves her job but b) has very little money, my biggest requirement for a good relationship is still a strong intellectual connection. This probably makes me unsentimental, but at least I'm not a golddigger.

@ManicPixiePoliticalGirl: I suppose what Hedgie and some others are saying is that these people KNOW they're gone if they lose their money or looks, respectively. And they accept it, so why can't we? I understand that point but I still dislike shallow people.

Why don't we just call gold-diggers "whores?" And their sugar daddies "johns?" I guess because when you get right down to it, you could apply those terms to a whole lotta couples, and we all know that being married is the "right" thing to do and makes you respectable.

I guess the dynamics in Central Florida are a lot different, because the "gold diggers" here want a guy with a high-powered job(assistant manager at WalMart), an expensive car (Mustang), all his teeth and at least one eye. Man, I miss the city.

I think my investment in a warm, furry puppy has paid off in lower heating bills. Enough to justify that diamond-encrusted collar she keeps nagging me for.
