The internet is lousy for tone. But hospice workers are genuine angels on this earth, so props to your mother, and to you too.

Agree. But it was Marie Lodi who called Darren Star the SATC creator. And in fact Star and his writers did ‘create’ the series, but they did not create the source material.

Sure, originally, but that wasn’t the point of your post, was it? She has no control over the choices made for the tv series, including how they chose to end it. She did not have ‘final say,’ as you wrote.

THAT’s true love? Go have another vodka.

No. Bushnell did not have final say over the television show. She sold those rights.

Haha! That was such a load of bull. I still can’t believe they chose that ending of the myriad endings they apparently shot. Like we’re supposed to swoon with relief and joy that he finally decides he’s in love with her, that she’s worth loving. What a woman-hating ending. Why didn’t they just have the other three…

As if there are no squirrels in New York City.

Plus, can you stand to live for five minutes without a boyfriend, woman? Have you learned nothing? Were we supposed to swoon at that ending or roll our eyes? I never could tell but I think we were meant to swoon and that just really pissed me off — the perception of their own audience as having the maturity of a five…

And not just “Go get our girl” but Carrie saying to Big “Take me home.” Like she couldn’t take herself home. Like she needed a man to take her home. I thought that ending was horrible, horrible, and not that I was in love with the series but still, a betrayal of its essential theme, of independent women rising above,…

Maybe, but it seems like she has her priorities in order. Has to seize the day because she’s almost 40 and we all know what happens to women over 40 in Hollywood. Maybe creative work means more to her than having children. And “The Zookeeper’s Wife” looks amazing.

Ha! Photos of her from the set of “The Zookeeper’s Wife” are amazing. Incredible animal world with beautiful Jessica right in the middle.

And Lena! Don’t forget we love her/hate her/love her/hate her Lena Dunham!

Truly Madly Deeply. It arrived at a particular corner-turning moment in my life and remains one of my favorite movies ever. It’s so humane, so profound. Alan was beautiful in it. So torn up about this loss.

I am just...gutted.

Met her. She is crazy like a fox.

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘good news’ because Lee Daniels is crazeeee. And yes, I’m in the business, and yes I know him, but I don’t know Effie. Good luck to her though.

She said herself that she’s thin because of the Tamoxifen she’s taking since having breast cancer. Where on earth did you get that idiotic number about her calorie intake?

No, you’re wrong about this. You can have, say, a breast tumor removed and be cured (although forever paranoid). It is not ‘in remission.’ You no longer have cancer, in that case. (Blood cancers are different, in that there’s no tumor to remove. If you’re treated and they are no longer detected then you’re ‘in…

I can! I can imagine Lorraine Bracco in that role, and now my whole world view has changed about that movie, which I loved. (Also, directed by Mike Nicholls. He was hilarious, god rest him.)

Omg. I’ve just fallen in love with Lorraine Bracco.
