Ok. I saw SITC on opening night and I had to just offer up a simple observation: Fags and Chicks love this movie. Girls were decked out in skirts, gowns and heels to see a movie. I was impressed that anyone cares that much. I guess I’m an asshole after all.

Behind me a fight broke out between what I assume was a gay man and his girl friend. He came up the stairs of the theater with an arm load of food and noticed that while he was gone, his friend sat in his seat. His reaction? “That was a cunty thing to do!” Then he threw his food down in his new seat and proceeded to tear that girl a new asshole. “You fucking bitch! Like I want to sit on the end next to someone I don’t even know?”

“What’s the big deal?” she asked.

“The big deal is that you’re a fat ass loser. That’s what the big deal is!” She looked shocked. Not only was he being outright evil but he was screaming this as loud as he could. She tried to defend herself.

“I took you into my home and you’re saying this to me?”

“Fuck you bitch!”

“You were homeless and I took you in and you can say these things to me?” Then it got interesting. He went on.

“Bitch you are getting fucked over by your man.”

“Stop. Just stop. You’re an asshole!”

“Where’s Joe? Fucking Darlene! That’s where he is. Fucking you over again like he always does you fat bitch!” Then she started crying and eventually kicked him, hoping to knock him down the stairs but he held on to the railing and kept shitting on her.

My point?

That when the movie started, those two idiots squashed their rage and watched the entire thing without saying a word, as did everyone else in that theater. The house was packed with people who came to actually watch the movie. Usually there is always someone with a big mouth. Not that night. That’s some powerful shit! Not only that, but directly afterward, the two screaming people walked out arm in arm. What the…?

I can’t explain it but it was an interesting thing to observe.

Another funny tidbit comes from a very reliable source. She was talking to Kim Catrall about the movie when Kim said “I guess you probably think that the delay in filming was all my fault. The truth is that all those girls are a bunch of cunts.”

“Cunts!”

I would have paid anything to hear that come out of her mouth. She went on to say that Kristen Davis had just come from Melrose Place and was desperate to keep the series alive as was Cynthia Nixon who had gotten a taste of making real money after making an off Broadway salary for years. Sarah Jessica Parker was making millions as producer and star and Kim wanted a little more than what was being offered.

Kim had the last laugh however, because she steals the movie from everyone. Not only is she the oldest but she looks the best, her character is well rounded and sympathetic AND she gets all the laughs.

But give these ladies the credit due. Even if they all hate each other, they are all talented enough to make us believe they love one another. No small feat.

But any movie that can make 250 screaming queens and women shut the fuck up for 2 hours has to be doing something right.
