Definitely buy the boat. You will never be happy with a woman, so hopefully the boat will make you happy.

Women : if you think you're man has no feelings and is incapable of crying, just take him to watch Sex & the City.

Hey -- I dunno about that comparison -- there are plenty of guilty pleasures to be had from, say, Universal Soldier, and I'm not talking about beefcake - more the corny dialogue and hilariously bad acting and the fung-phooey, chop socky action. I'm with the women upthread who'd rather see Indy 4 (which I really, truly enjoyed immensely) and Iron Man (love love LOVE Downey Jr -- seeing it tomorrow) than the (rather desperate-sounding) S&TC movie.

Okay, I'll screw with everyone's demographic:

1. I saw Indy and LOVED IT!

2. I saw Iron Man and LOVED IT!

3. I saw Sex and the City (and NEVER watched the show, EVER) and LOVED IT!

Why? Because each one entertained me and I didn't try to read too deep into any one of them. They are ENTERTAINMENT only and not meant to be something deep, even if you can get a little bit of deep out of it.

Of course, whether anyone else wants to see those movies and/or likes those movies doesn't matter to me because everyone's taste is their own. If you don't like that kind of movie, don't see it. My husband goes to see movies (and watches movies at home) that I don't want to see (he just watched Bloodrayne 1 and 2 the last two nights - NO FUCKING THANK YOU). I just pick up a book and sit next to him and we keep each other company doing our thing.

I certainly wasn't going to make him see Sex and the City. I'm the odd girl that likes to see most action/sci-fi/adventure movies and I like chick flicks, too (but it depends on the quality. Some are just too cliche and stupid and not well-written and others, like SATC, are highly entertaining). My husband simply doesn't like chick flicks. He saw Titanic twice with me (and cried both times) and he watched Enchanted with our little girls (but that's what daddy's are supposed to do!), but otherwise, no, he won't see them and I won't make him. It's stupid. Just like he doesn't make me watch the movies he likes to watch.

In any event, I thought it was a great movie. I laughed my ass off through most of it and it made me miss my high school/college girlfriends (most of whom are living in and around NYC and I'm here on the Left Coast in the Land of Fruits and Nuts).

All in all, I was highly entertained and when I see a movie, that's all that matters to me.

Harumph.

Cheers.

So, why do we feel the need to judge others for their taste in entertainment? Is it some sort of status symbol, an assertion of superiority, that you hate something someone else enjoys?

I loved Iron Man, I suspect I will enjoy SATC, but I'm not going to judge you if you didn't like one or the other, or either even.
