Members Cat Posted May 7, 2022 Members Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) Well, well. Isn't this an interesting take -- the polar opposite of the narrative we've been getting the past +5 years. 'KC is so mean! She made Sarah cry. She didn't want to do the third movie -- so selfish thinking only of herself! Oh well, none of us on set liked her anyway!" What's that you say, Darren Star and Candace Bushell? A kind person? Good works for the actors' benevolent fund? Admired both as a person and an actress? Color me shocked. Full disclosure: I've been a fan of Cattrall's since SATC and beyond. The Variety article talks about her speaking voice being a touch Old Hollywood, and it kind of hits on why I like her so much as an actress. She has that Old H charisma. I had the good fortune to see her on stage in Noel Coward's Private Lives (opposite Matthew McFadyen) a decade ago. She played a flighty, charming, Noel-Coward feminine archetype, but she played her with such understanding, layers and a soft comedic touch. I was impressed. This could easily have been a Samanthaesque role but she made it someone else. I've enjoyed her choice of different roles ever since, and her embrace of being a mature, experienced woman, comfortable in her skin. I thought her Variety interview was thoughtful and elegantly put. She was asked questions about SATC (by a journalist who is also clearly a SATC aficionado) which she handled openly but diplomatically, without tearing anyone down per se. She feels a certain sense of ownership over the character of Samantha, and that is understandable. I'm beyond glad we were spared the 'hilarity' of Samantha viewing Brady's dick pics.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 19, 2022 Members Share Posted August 19, 2022 Even before they killed off Big, I figured they’d bring Aiden back, they always do lol. I wonder how they plan to ruin Aiden now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted August 19, 2022 Members Share Posted August 19, 2022 He probably divorced his wife after the second film, because of kissing Carrie and him desiring her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 19, 2022 Members Share Posted August 19, 2022 …and “just like that…” Carrie will have Aiden on the hook, playing the mindless game of ‘can Carrie commit this time or no?’ Aiden will want her (again) at a time when she feels she cannot commit to a relationship (again). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 19, 2022 Members Share Posted August 19, 2022 I never thought SJP and John Corbett had any chemistry, and I never will. Much as I hate what has become of HBO Max, if David Zaslav shitcans this wretched show, I will cheer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wendy Posted August 19, 2022 Members Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) Never even finished S1 of this crap. How it got renewed, I have no idea. I am all for shitcanning this piece of garbage. And I hope David Eigenberg (Steve) tells TIIC to f*ck off if they want his character back to be abused again. He has Chicago Fire, anyway.

Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 20, 2022 Members Share Posted August 20, 2022 Oh yeah, I forgot that the transition at HBOMax was seeing a lot of shows being flushed. AJLT must have garnered some seriously high hate watch ratings numbers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted August 20, 2022 Members Share Posted August 20, 2022 Another character for them to destroy! I'm not surprised that Darren Star showed up for that event. In all honesty, SatC started going downhill after he left over the reigns - pretty much all his shows tend to decline in some way or another when he does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted August 20, 2022 Members Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) So Aidan can finally have Carrie-- now that Big has croaked! Aidan always struck me as THE masculine ideal for women of a prototype-MAGA persuasion. Kind of like the females on The Bachelor are the MAGA patriarchy's ideal chick stereotype, and a lesson to MAGA women on how they are expected to look, speak and behave. For me, the problem with AJLT is that nothing exists outside Carrie's orbit. Aidan and his ex wife and baby will become a random footnote. His relationship with Steve will be forgotten, because its Just About Carrie. Like Miranda and Charlotte also shutting Samantha-in-London out because they mostly exist to soothe Carrie's nerves. Is Che returning? Edited August 20, 2022 by Cat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 20, 2022 Members Share Posted August 20, 2022 According to the article, Aidan (hey, I spelled it correctly this time because I care Please register in order to view this content ) apparently has 3 children. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
