The 'reality' shows are scraping the bottom of the barrel. Shows about the 'tensions' in baking strange cakes...and about people who drive too fast....and about those whose cars get booted and how tedious it is to pay the fine. Yeah, Sex in the City is near the bottom...but I'm sure ideas are brewing to sink lower. |

From: Little Hawk It's definitely among the 98% of films released yearly that I give a moment's consideration as to whether I should see or not, and then I say, "Not that one." Matter of fact, it's in the bottom 25% of that 98%. Collar bones like coat hangers expresses it very well. And they've got "big hair" too, right? |

03 Jun 10 - 07:13 PM (#2920097) Subject: RE: BS: 'Sex and the City 2' - rant. From: Art Thieme We quit cable about 4 years ago. And here in Peru, Illinois, cable is the only way we can receive television. Sooooo, we pay $17.00 a month to Netflix!! We can order a million films or documentaries or TV shows---whatever. Watch it---send it back---and have another film sent off to us the next day! Folks, just get what you really want to see!! And that $17.00 a month is all we pay for 3-at-a-time DVDs... I'm a shut-in now, and this is simply a perfect arrangement. Art |

The idea behind highlighting is that in nature hair color is not all one shade; highlighting of 'colored' hair is meant to mirror that. Remember Liz Taylor? No highlighting there! I don't remember their feet - I haven't seen the show much - but they, after all, do live in NYC and are hip, fashionable, upwardly mobile young women so I would guess they wore high heels, at least in public. (Oh, I do remember bare legs and sandals.) Photo - (But Not Winona) |

Easily without them, but our phone, internet and email are cable too. We also get some 20 music channels, without advs. Three NPR stations and BBC News are good, but, true, there are some 100 channels of junk. The cable network also deals with viruses, etc. and does a good job. |
