It was so great to see her character break out of her control to stand up for her friend, and not what I was expecting to happen in that scene.<br /><br />I just bought The Good Wife first season.

I think scooby did it better. And love the good wife, and Julianna Marguilies, who brings such and intelligence and quiet dignity to her role that it elevates the show. <br /><br />And only now figured out the Noth connection.. too funny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-60264568463260554132010-09-24T12:48:09.012-04:002010-09-24T12:48:09.012-04:00My favorite comment on SATC2 was from my friend An...My favorite comment on SATC2 was from my friend Antoinette who said it turned into a bad Scooby Doo episode as they ran through the market in their burkas. <br /><br />I love love love The Good Wife. I can't wait until it starts up again. Hey, wait! Are we talking about them both because of the Chris Noth connection? <br /><br />P.S. I cried watching the first SATC movie, too. When Samantha spoon feeds Carrie? Chokes me up just to think about it.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803986849921870941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29864506.post-75547717372952793242010-09-24T12:23:51.636-04:002010-09-24T12:23:51.636-04:00Oh, that was the WORST MOVIE EVER!!!

Stupid jokes that were either so corny or so crude or both they made me gag. No real heart like the first movie had. The first one actually made me cry a couple of times. (I am a sucker) and the second one just made me ANGRY!!! (capital letter angry.)<br /><br />I follow the same strategy for airplane movies. I never pick anything I really want to see because it's too hard to watch it properly.Maureen McGowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494408580378817045noreply@blogger.com
