Four in One

"Sex and the City" - Theme music

I can't get enough of this series and even though I have it on DVD, I still find myself watching it on TV, commercials and all. I admit that I don't watch every episode over and over again. There are some more intriguing than others (usually the ones filled with drama) and I have my favorite relationships to choose from:

Carrie & Mr. Big


Miranda & Steve
Everything is a balancing act filled with multiple questions and difficult answers.
  • Should we stay together or should we go our separate ways?
  • Why do we chase the wrong guys and let the good ones slip away?
  • How can we tell which ones are the good ones anyway?
  • How many chances can a person get?
  • Is there more to love than compatibility and being comfortable?
  • Can we always have butterflies in our stomachs? And why not?
  • Should we forgive and forget?
  • Can we forget?
  • How do we know we found the right one?
  • What does the right one even mean?
  • Do we only want those we can't have?
  • Is that when they only want us... too?

This is what draws me into each of the four female characters. They tackle these bullet points! And though I may not be able to identify with one particular person, I can relate to all of them all at once in so many ways:

  1. Miranda - the cynical brain. A workaholic, good-with-money, unfashionable, direct business woman that isn't afraid to speak her mind. She doesn't have the highest self-esteem nor does she see herself as sexy, but she is strong, independent and knows how to take charge.

  2. Charlotte - the preppy princess. A sweet, charming girlie-girl nerd that loves to believe in fairytale endings and soul mates. A neat and tidy clean-freak with traditional values and a good heart.

  3. Carrie - the writer & emotional drama queen. Able to share her stories by pulling from others' experiences including that of her own. Unable to learn from her mistakes, but able to identify when she makes them. She pursues her passion by taking what she desires regardless of the consequences because it's hard to say "no" to something or someone that makes you happy.

  4. Samantha - a sexy seductress. A powerful woman who knows what she wants and gets it every time.

This isn't about which one of them is better than the other. This is a story about all of them and what they go through. It's just good to get away and feel as though someone else is on the same boat saying, "Damn, don't let this sink on me just yet."

Welcome to People

Songs TBA Last night, I saw a special, private screening courtesy of the Screening Exchange called, "Welcome to People" directed by Alex Kurtzman. I loved it and it wasn't something that I thought I'd love. In fact, I almost changed my mind at the last minute when I saw that familiar long line down the steps at Arclight Paseo. I figured, "Hell it's just another movie." But I'm so glad I didn't turn around. I'm glad I stood in the back of the line, got my hand stamped and cell phone taken away for nearly 3-hours in order to be in a room filled with strangers. I just wish I had something with me to write down the great songs I heard that disappeared by the time I logged onto this blog. It makes me appreciate technology...so check it out when it comes out. I'll make sure I have my cell phone handy the next time I see it so I can grab some songs along the way. Oh, I'm Hannah, not Frankie and let me know what you think.

Love Is Not Blind

"Colorblind" - Counting Crows I originally had a Dave Matthews Band song in my head, but like always I'm bending the rules a little bit and going with what's in my heart. After all, I couldn't follow my last blog with something you didn't like, could I? That just wouldn't fit and this seems to do just that. This song reminds me of the movie Cruel Intentions . It's hard not to think of it. Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe's chemistry was so strong, especially in their steamy love scene with this song playing in the background, that any other memory pales in comparison. I always thought the lyrics were so simple and romantic, but it became even clearer here. There was no doubt about it. I knew instantly that they were a real life couple even before they announced it. Love is obvious. Acting can never really be this good unless two people have genuine feelings for each. Look at Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in The Notebook and Angelina Jolie ...
