Big Apple Hotel Offers Mr. Big Package

On Friday, May 30th, shoe stores will be empty, makeup counters customerless, salons won’t have a hair to do, and every man in America will be single for a few hours. It’s opening night of the Sex and the City movie! While looking at all the ads alone can increase your levels of estrogen, and thereby your need for a cosmo, what are the men to do when they have the whole world — sans movie theaters — in the palm of their hands?

Maybe NO ONE Dies In The Sex And The City Movie!

The New York Times did an interview with Sex And The City Executive Producer, Michael Patrick King, who seemed to pooh-pooh rumors (started by one of the movies’ stars, Cynthia Nixon) that a character dies in the soon-to-be released movie. “Someone’s going to die,” he said, “Like that’s what I’m going to do.” However, King insisted on not having Carrie and Big’s parents involved with the wedding that is at the center of the film, because, “My idea always was that these women were purely creations of New York.The prototype of the series is that these are four grown-ups who make a family of one another.”

Frisky Chatter: Dish From The Frisky Forums

Hello pretty people! We hereby order you to take five minutes out of your precious time and to go over to the Frisky forums for three extremely important reasons:

  • We’re desperate from your thoughts on summer shorts. We’re going to be doing a slideshow based on your recommendations, so don’t leave us hanging. We cry very easily.
  • Now that you have hopefully had a chance to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall, we’re super curious if you think that showing peen in the movies is degrading to men. I think you know where we stand, but we still would love for you to weigh in.
  • Elle wants to know whether you’d date a guy who’d been around the block with 100 women. FYI, the guy is not Johnny Depp in Don Juan DeMarco.
  • Enjoy the weekend, lovelies! Keep reading »

    Even If Wanted Is No Good, We Still Want To See It

    Angelina Jolie hasn’t signed on for a movie that didn’t suck for years (except, maybe, A Mighty Heart and, of course, Mr. & Mrs. Smith), but I really hope that Wanted will be an exception. James McAvoy. Actually using his sexy brogue. Guns. Violence. Assassins. Morgan Freeman narrating. A sex scene that even from the preview looks loin-burning. I haven’t been this excited for a movie that could seriously suck in so long. Keep reading »

    Sex And The City And Fergie, A Good Combination?

    A lot has changed since Sex and the City went off the air four years ago, including the show’s opening music. Written for the movie, “Labels & Love” is inspired by the original, lyric-less ditty and sung by Fergie. “It’s an entirely new song with lyrics, but it has the Sex and the City theme as the DNA — on steroids,” according to the movie’s director, Michael Patrick King. Give it a listen and tell us whether it’s your new favorite song. We think it sounds like it was put together in a hurry on Fergie’s home computer using Garage Band. [Greasy Guide] Keep reading »

    We Can’t Resist Kiss The Bride

    Remember how I said Made Of Honor looks like practically the same movie as My Best Friend’s Wedding? And that it would probably suck? Well, Kiss The Bride has a pretty darn similar plot to both of those films, only this one features a gay guy, his first boyfriend, and that first boyfriend’s soon-to-be-wife, played by trannylicious Tori Spelling. It also looks vaguely awesome, proving that just because you stole another movie’s plot doesn’t mean you’re not worth seeing. [Kiss The Bride] Keep reading »

    Move Over, Peter Pan

    After years of following the boys around and living in their shadows, which sometimes went astray, Tinker Bell is taking the lead! At least in four direct-to-DVD movies Disney will be releasing over the next few years. Tinker Bell’s star turn begins this October with the cleverly titled Tinker Bell, followed by Tinker Bell: North of Never Land in 2009, Tinker Bell: A Midsummer Storm in 2010, and Tinker Bell: A Winter Story in 2011. Does anyone else feel like Tinker Bell could hold her own in a theater release? Girls love her. Guys love her. She’s like Tina Fey in a tutu. [IMDb] Keep reading »

    Barbarella Does It Again

    Barbarella is an inter-gallactic sex symbol, a lover and a fighter, and she’s coming back to the big screen! Director Robert Rodriguez, who is known for being Quentin Tarantino’s boy crush and for stylized films like Sin City and Planet Terror, is now taking on the swinging ’60s space odyssey. And he’s going above and beyond to stick to the original — even behind the scenes. Rose McGowan, Rodriguez’s fiancee, has signed on to fill the go-go boots of Jane Fonda, whose husband Roger Vadim directed the original in ‘68. Although filming had been delayed due to the writers’ strike, hopefully the impending Screen Actors Guild strike won’t get in Barbarella’s way. But if there’s one thing we know about the Amazon woman, nothing and no one can stop her! [Media Morgue] Keep reading »
