Y siguiendo con los editoriales de moda, cuando ví el del post anterior pensé en el que pondría hoy.

Se trata de un editorial para Vogue US en junio del 2008, justo antes de que se estrenara la película de sexo en Nueva York.

Los protagonistas… “más claro agua”:  Sarah Jessica Parker y Chris North. Las fotos están tomadas por Annie Leibovitz (de la cual también pondré algún editorial más).

La vi ayer y me encantó.

No sé si es por la estupenda Milla Jovovich, por lo que adoro a Chris North (mr. Big de Sexo en NY) o por lo divertidas que son las fotos.

Las fotos las he “cogido prestadas” de uno de mis blogs favoritos: Be trendy my friend.

Okay, so I knowwww that I’ve already established my love of NCIS. It’s the only crime show I’ve even considered watching on a weekly basis when new episodes come out rather than watching marathons on USA, TBS etc. Unfortunatly, new episodes are airing on Tuesdays, and I work Tuesday nights. Fooey.

However, it’s hard to resist pretending you’re on Law & Order when you and a friend in central park can so convincingly depict dead body/dead body finder and wait around for Benson and Stabler to come to the rescue.

I know that SVU isn’t the only Law & Order (who could overlook Vincent D’Onofrio in Criminal Intent?). But it is my favorite, i suppose. I like the characters alright, I just couldn’t tell you any sort of timeline about their personal lives. They’re just there to solve the crimes and every once in a while Stabler mentions he has a family at home.

Mariska Hargitay is probably definitely the hottest detective on all of the Law & Orders. She’s great, and I like Benson for the most part, except when she gets a little too attached to cases. I guess it’s a common issue in that sort of job, but I never really feel like she has all that much emotion. It seems forced somehow. But I do like her, and her and Stabler together is pretty great. Hargitay really hasn’t been in much. An episode of Seinfeld, an episode of Ellen, and what seems to be a full season of ER. Nothing upcoming, though. I wish she’d take a more sexy role in something, because the pantsuits just don’t show her full potential. Also, long hair vs. short hair? Your thoughts?

Okay, I don’t like to admit my love for Christopher Meloni, but he’s definitely attractive. I think it’s his personality as Stabler, though, that’s the biggest selling point. He’s such a badass, but sometimes has a softer side. I guess you have to in his job. Sometimes he gets a little too macho for my liking, but when you carry a gun around every day I think that’s to be expected. Meloni has been in a few noteworthy movies, including 12 Monkeys and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. He also had a fairly main role in Oz. Did you know he did the voice for Spike on Dinosaurs?!! YES.  He’s made a few bad decisions, like Harold & Kumar escape from Guantanamo Bay and Nights in Rodanthe. Not that I saw either of those. Hopefully his upcoming movies will be better, Dirty Movie and The Stepfather. One time on the show I saw him with his shirt off for an instant and noticed he had tattoos. This is what it is, though. It’s nice, stylistically, I just think I’d be a little weirded out if I were ever doin’ a guy and had jesus in plain view. Maybe that’s just me.

In case you’re interested, the second picture of him in Google Images is full-frontal of him in a prison cell. This was with moderate safe search on, too. I don’t know what the context was, but seems like an interesting movie? show? Maybe that was from Oz? Hm.

But the best role he’s ever played is clearly Gene in Wet Hot American Summer.

(mmmm beards)

And then there’s Mr. Munch. Er, Detective Munch. Richard Belzer. I must say he’s done a fine job of being the same character throughout his career. He’s played Detective  Munch on more than five different shows, starting on Homicide: Life on the Streets, and including Arrested Development, and The Wire. Oh, but don’t forget Belzervision. He always looks so grumpy. So here’s a picture of him with a puppy.

And of course, Captain Cragen, played by Dann Florek. He’s a pretty lovable old guy. He never really gets angry, except when it’s really important. He’s been on a lot of crime shows, starting wtih  Matlock. And the unforgettable Mr. Slate in The Flinstones. It appears that he has a wife. However, these pictures lead me to believe otherwise.

Just sayin’.

Chris North looks to be enjoying this, but Melosi just got caught in a man-twister and landed in awkward-city. Seems like he’s at least trying to play along, though.

Odafin “Fin” Tutuola. What does that name mean to you? Nothing. Exactly. Because he’s just always going to be Ice-T, no matter what weird character name he’s given. And that includes T-Saint in Tank Girl, J-Bone in Johnny Mnemonic, and C-Note in The Heist. I sense an affinity for hyphens. He was also in Frankenpenis.

I saw an interview with him once about his character on SVU, and it really seems like he wants to be taken seriously as an actor.

Seriously.

My faaaavorite minor character is Dr. George Huang played by B.D. Wong. He’s actually been in some pretty cool stuf, AND was Howard Weinstein in Father Of the Bride (parts 1 and 2)!! I’d let him plan my wedding any day. He also did the voice of the cockroach in Joe’s Apartment, and 47 episodes of Oz. And according to imdb, he was one of the morphed faces in Michael Jackson’s Black or White video. And he’s completely adorable.

I’m going out on a limb here and assuming anyone cares about Dr. Melinda Warner played by Tamara Tunie. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure Tunie is a great person and all, and she does her job as Warner well. But she’s just not developed much. She’s no Ducky.  As far as her roles go, there’s not much to speak of, although what seems to be a fairly lead role on As the World Turns. She does, however, fall into the category of totally hot if I could ever see her not in a lab coat.

And fiiiiinally, ADA Casey Novak played by Diane Neal. Novak definitely has a personality, but I find her a little bitchy. She’s got good intentions, but I dunno, I guess I feel like Neal in real life is a lot more laid back, and it’s hard for her to play such a by-the-books role. She’s been in pretty much nothing I care about except for her recent performance on 30Rock as one of Liz Lemon’s high school classmates in the episode “Reunion”. A brilliant episode, I must say. And Neal played her part very well.  She’ll be in Dirty Movie as well. AND AND AND something called Your Presents Requested starring Melissa Joan Hart and JOEY LAWRENCE. Awesome.

I really love that the show is set in New York, because now I can figure out if I’ve been to this episode’s crime scene, or how I would get there on the subway. Probably not something my parents would be too comfortable with, and I’m pretty sure SVU is most of the reason why they’re afraid for me to live here. But man, if I get to meet Stabler, er Meloni, it’ll all be worth it.

Yes, I’m addicted to Weeds. No, not weed weed but the TV Series Weeds.

I bought the whole box set from Season 1 to 4. It’s fucking awesome.

I think Justin Kirk look a lot like Chris North. Yup,
Uncle Andy or known as El Andy looks like Mr. Big from Sex and The City. Are they related? Different mother and different father but looks almost the same. The lips, the eyes, the nose… sheeshh… I sounded like a physcopath. No, i’m not one their obsess loser fan, i just love men with good looks. Hey, which women doesn’t rite? Lol.

Well, I think i really starting to like El Andy.

Hasta Luego

Eu poderia apontar o filme da famosa série como o Diabo veste Prada desse ano. Eu poderia falar que o filme é meio tolinho[basta apontar o papo de que toda novaiorquina só pensa em marcas e homens - MEDA!] por conta de tantas bobagens envolvendo relacionamentos e futilidades, mas foi só me reunir com amigos depois de ver o filme e entender que toda essa futilidade faz sentido, pasmem, DE VERDADE![Os dilemas das titias existem na vida real, tah?]

Falando do filme, pulando a parte de linguagem etc.[.P], Carrie Bradshaw [Sarah Jessica Parker] é a mucura mais linda do mundo, ahazando principalmente no ensaio de noiva pra Vogue. As partes de drama ou comédia são horrendas, o que vale mesmo é o glamour. Eu me identifico horrores com a praticidade da Samantha[Kim Cattrall], apesar de toda minha inexperiência sexual… kekoekoeokeok… Destaque ao fofo do Mr Big[Chris Noth] par romântico da Carrie[eu me casaria no civil com ele sem problema] e ao tal do Dante[vizinho da tarada da Samantha - pularia a cerca demaaaaaaaaaaaaais].

Ainda tem a Totózinha da Samantha que me comoveu demais, por lembrar a Veruka, minha gateenha tarada…kikiki

E esse papo de que é filme pra mulerzinha não convence! Os homens deveriam assistir pra aprender a lidar com as mônicas… Vai ver por isso elas estão cada vez mais se apaixonando por gays… Rum!

Depois de ter sua estréia atrasada diversas vezes finalmente o publico e os fãns de Sex And The City poderão assistir ao tão desejado e esperado longa da série.

Sarah Jéssica Parker, que faz o papel de Carrie Bradshaw é também a produtora do filme e afirmou que não foi nada fácil conseguir reunir as quatro atrizes novamente alem de Chris North que faz o papel de Mr. Big novamente.

O filme que se passa em Nova York, quatro anos depois do final da série, em 2004, traz a jornalista Carrie como editora da revista Vogue alem de estar escrevendo seu quarto livro. Charlotte (Kristin Davis) vive o seu tão perseguido e sonhado emprego durante a série na Park Avenue. Samantha (Kim Cattrall) foi com seu namorado, ator, até Los Angeles. E Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) que ainda vive no Brooklyn, sente saudades de Manhattan e encontra a dificuldade de ser mãe de primeira viagem. E alem disso tudo o elenco ainda conta com um reforço de peso, a vencedora do Oscar Jennifer Hudson, que interpreta Louise, assistente de Carrie.

O filme que tem tudo para bater todos os recordes de bilheteira, inclusive Iron Man e Indiana Jones estreou nesta segunda-feira em Londres e chega ao Brasil nesta sexta, dia 06 de junho, nos principais cinemas do país.

Like I mentioned in my previous post, I wasn’t sure if I’d like the movie. I am not a huge of the show but I am relieved to say I enjoyed it. I was in a pretty bad mood before I walked into the screen…and when I am in a bad mood…trust me…it’s BAD!!! Infact, I was even contemplating on leaving the cinema even before the movie begined but forced myself to sit after some cajoling from S.

Coming to the movie…it starts off with the introduction of the four women, Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte York (Kirstin Davis) and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon). Like the show, the film deals with two of the most complex issues…love and relationships

In brief, Mr. Big (Chris North), Carrie’s 45+ ‘man’friend proposes to Carrie in a very unconventional manner and they are ready to be married but is devestated when Mr. Big does not turn up on the big day.

Samantha moves to LA to support and work for Jerry ‘Smith’ Jerrod (Jason Lewis) and misses NY. Jerry is busy with work and Samantha craves to be with her friends. There’s also a sexy hunk who moves next door and she is finding it difficult to control her urges

Miranda is the usual…a workaholic. Her husband (Steve Brady aka David Eigenberg craves for attention but Miranda is engrossed with other things. Unable to cope with his wife’s rejection….he ends up sleeping with another woman. Their life is shattered when Miranda comes to know the truth.

Charlotte, the most positive of them all is pleasantly surprised when is told that she is pregnant. Her’s is the most un-complicated story of all.

The rest of the movie is about how these four women with the help of each other try and cope with the circumstances they are in and try to move forward.

I like it when women help each other. After a couple of Ekta Kapoor’s Saah Bahu soaps…I was ready to ‘demolish’ our television set with a cricket bat. It is so annoying when you watch a woman hell bent on creating havoc in other woman’s life..either by ‘bedding’ her husband or by pitting the saas against her It is so pathetic! I hope such ‘bull shit’ will stop very soon.

I did not have great expectations from the movie since I was not a big fan of the show…probably that is what clinched it for me. We sometimes do not realise how difficult it is to be love. We take it for granted. it’s rosy when everything is going for you…but how you stick together when things are not going for you is what you learn over the years. I won’t say the movie is GREAT watch but it is a BEARABLE watch.

My rating: 2.5/5

Ever wondered what Carrie Bradshaw and Mr.Big’s wedding honeymoon would be like? The latest issue of Vogue features a several-page photo-spread of Sex and the City co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker and Chris North (Mr.Big). The phots are a portrait of the couples honeymoon, as imagined by Parker. Photographed by Annie Leibovitz.

Don’t get me wrong, I loved “Sex and the City” when it was on HBO. Also, I was excited as any other series fan when they began hinting about a movie, and even more excited when rumor became reality. I guess the thrill has worn off for me a bit since the show went off the air back in…wait…let me google the year…2004!!! Ummm, it’s been 4 years, and I can confidently say that I’m no longer mourning the loss of that show from my weekly tv rotation.

I do plan to watch the movie, but I’ll likely wait until it comes out on dvd. I might change my mind if the word on the street from people is full of rave reviews, or I might just make it an excuse for date night between hubby and me for date night’s sake. My point is that I’m surprised that I’m not all geeked up about the movie.

What are you thinking? Do you think this will be a spring blockbuster? My guess is that the movie will enjoy a sizzlin’ premiere weekend and then fizzle quickly. At the same time, I’d love to be wrong.
