Sex and the City is out this weekend. People are making a fuss about how this movie isn't going to do well because no men are going to watch it. Um, hello. Last time I checked, men aren't the only ones who go see movies and besides those people don't know about the husbands (like a certain one I know) who swear that they have no idea what Sex and the City is about but secretly watch it when it's on.
To L.A. or not to L.A.? First thing this morning, I saw two articles/posts about L.A. It must be a sign. One of them is an outsider's perspective:
The Center Does Not Hold: Gertrude Stein said about Oakland that “there’s no there there,” but I’ve been to Oakland recently and take it from me, there’s more There in Oakland than there is is LA. Here there is truly no there. And that’s one of it’s major appeals. Everywhere we go in business, we have to be there. The fact that there is no there here makes it very interesting. Because wherever you go is almost equally worthwhile. It’s not like Manhattan or Chicago or even San Francisco, where if you’re not in a specific part of town, depending on your business, you’re not Where It Is.Ah, if only it were as wonderful as he describes. I sound like I've been living on the East Coast too long. Maybe it's time to go back...
Here you could be in Westwood. You could be in Fairfax. You could be in Burbank. You could be in Studio City. You could be just about anyplace but downtown LA, where nobody goes except the booksellers this week, because it’s their big convention and nobody told them that nobody wants to be in downtown LA, ever. The really big business takes place where people have coffee and a little pastry. Which explains Santa Monica, where there’s all this cool stuff going on and everybody’s walking around in shorts and a baseball cap making deals that gross billions.
