...to think my DP is a dick?!

We're watching Sex and the City the film (yes, yes I am being unreasonable for watching a crappy film. Whatever).

The scene with the wedding has just happened. Big didn't show up and then pissed off leaving poor old Carrie crying her eyes out. Their cars pass, they stop and they have a barny. Carrie's all, "How could you?!" And Big's all "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, let's go back." Carrie gets back in her car and drives off.

So as we're watching, I mutter "what a dick" and DP says "Are you kidding? She's the dick. He said sorry and she was too busy being hysterical."

Er, WTF DP. You think she should have just said "Oh OK, no worries Big. Let's go. I'd just LOVE to marry you right now after you've humiliated me, you total ARSEHOLE."

Is my DP a dick? I think I might have to get rid of him for this. 'tis serious, ladies.

He's a dick, you are right Grin

Iatemyskinnyperson · 23/08/2012 21:34

Yup, he's wrong, your right!!!

xkittyx · 23/08/2012 21:35

They are both dicks, if that helps?

TellyBug YABVVU. After making your poor DP sit through that appalling film you expected him to make a rational comment when his brain had probably already leaked out of his ears, tsk tsk.

I would point you in the direction of Wittertainment and the Good Doctors rant on SATC and SATC2 "Take the money and run" which should illustrate my point Grin

Caerlaverock · 23/08/2012 21:51

Lol @ xkittyx

Teeb · 23/08/2012 21:54

Agree with Kitty, they really are both dicks.

bogeyface · 23/08/2012 21:55

Imo they were both being dicks in that film. Him for doing the BS game playing he was doing and her for not listening to him when he realised he was being a dick. Oh and Charlotte for that stupid "angry and disappointed" face she pulls.

I made my sister buy me a bottle of Baileys in compensation for making me sit through that bollocks :o

Regarding your DP, he was probably wishing she had turned around and gone back as then the film would have ended an hour earlier :o

TellyBug · 23/08/2012 22:21

OK, OK, IABU for watching this shit. But it's not as if DP has to watch it too! He could bugger off.

They're both dicks Grin

MrsTerryPratchett · 23/08/2012 23:40

allibaba it is my favourite rant. Mmmmm, SATC rant. I love Mark Kermode and now I like you Grin

WineGoggles · 24/08/2012 18:56

OP you have a point, but he'd probably lost the will to live after watching that film and was just playing devil's advocate. Besides, Carrie really is a very irritating character Grin

ThisIsNotHoneyDragon · 24/08/2012 19:09

They are all dicks.

Carrie is a bigger dick than big.

I think the fact that your oh recognises that Carrie is a dick makes him an excellent choice of cohabitee.

pjmama · 24/08/2012 19:10

I think many men may have been tempted to leg it if they'd seen their BTB turn up with a bird on her head. Just saying. Grin

Pontouf · 24/08/2012 19:20

They're both dicks. Kermode rules.

Gavel.

TellyBug · 24/08/2012 19:46

I am reformed.

I watched this same scene with my friend and when Carrie says 'I knew this would happen' when Big doesn't show up she helpfully commented, 'seems a waste to go to the bother of planning the wedding then'. I think your dp was understandably annoyed at having watched such a rubbish film!

StuntGirl · 25/08/2012 14:59

Honey Dragon! Grin

I always thought I liked SATC 'til I bought the boxset and watched it all. Christ, what was I thinking?!
