It's a first date and the guy is trying to score.

I admire the acting, the production value, Chris Noth is awesome. But the stories just don't interest me or hold my attention; I struggle to relate.

It was one thing to watch "The Women" a 1939 classic MGM film with some great acting from some great female actresses. I just wonder if the likes of the "Sara Jessica Parkers" in this film make it entertaining enough for both men and women.

Originally Posted By dlpostcardguy OC_Dean - email me and I'll fill you in. I didn't see Iron Man yet but heard it was good. Indy was entertaing but left me scratching my head at the end. I didn't get it. <<Was suprised with some of what I saw though - Had no idea there would be so much nudity - >> If you have only watched the sydicated series then I can understand your surprise. However I thought the movie was tame in that respect compared to the HBO series.
Originally Posted By gottaluvdavillains I really never saw either - I guess I was suprised with the amount of !! scenes and how much they showed - including the side shot of a guy - mainly because the number of young girls that I saw it with (not that I brought) and how many teens are fans of the show!!
Originally Posted By Liberty Belle Funnily enough, I never watched an episode of the show but I'm going to see this tomorrow night. I do have free tickets, admittedly, but I think I was sort of interested in seeing it regardless. Weird, isn't it? All I can say is the movie wraps up in 2 hours rather than 6 years ... As for the man question, my Dad is interested in seeing this, and yeah, pretty sure he's a straight guy. Being the father of 3 girls though, he's become pretty good with chick flicks.
