IMDB rating: 5.40 Plot: After moving in together in an impossibly beautiful New York apartment, Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big make a rather arbitrary decision to get married. The wedding itself proves to be anything but a hasty affair—the guest list quickly blooms from 75 to 200 guests, and Carrie’s simple, label-less wedding gown gives way to an enormous creation that makes her look like a gigantic cream puff. An upcoming photo spread in Vogue puts the event—which will take place at the New York Public Library—squarely in the public eye. Meanwhile, Carrie’s girlfriends—Samantha, the sexpot; Charlotte, the sweet naif; and Miranda, the rigid perfectionist—could not be happier. At least, they couldn’t be happier for Carrie. Charlotte still has the unrealized hope of getting pregnant. Samantha is finding a loving, committed relationship more grueling than she could have imagined. Miranda unwittingly lets her own unhappiness—created when Steve admits to cheating on her just once—spoil Carrie’s. After a heated encounter with Steve, she happens to spot Mr. Big and tells him he’s crazy to get married. She’s really only thinking of her own marriage. But her angry remark gets Mr. Big to thinking. |

R&P: Remember the Rollins Interview I Promised?
I want to thank those who participated in providing question suggestions the last time I posted my Henry Rollins question. Even though I extended it as long as i could, I decided it was unfair to pick a "best answer" since you all were awesome in providing questions.
So, here I am posting a raw transcript of my interview with Henry Rollins which is yet to be pulished in a couple of weeks. If you see your question answered, pat yourself on the back 
Interview with Henry Rollins: February 2, 3:42 p.m. Mountain Time
Q: Lenny Bruce, Brother Theodore, George Carlin: Did any of these outspoken performers play any influential role in your spoken-word technique or philosphy?
A: Bruce and Carlin certainly have given me a lot of courage. When you consider what Bruce got shut down for, he is a true child of the First Ammendment. Carlin made me understand the power of words and I always admired how long he stayed working. I know that I will have not nearly the span of Carlin but people like him, Lenny Bruce and Brother Theodore are so rare.
Q: At what age did you discover your "wayward/insubordinate" self? When did you probably start questioning authoritative society (e.g. Orwell’s "Animal Farm" is what did it for me in fifth grade) …
A: The aforementioned as well as The Clash, The Sex Pistols and my friend Ian MacKaye made me see things differently. I guess all of that started happening in my early teen years.
Q: Do you think Pop Culture has dumbed down our nation?
A: If it has, it can’t be a new phenomenon. Pop music has been with us for decades. I think that corporate media has done Americans a great disservice in that they have deprived America with any consistent degree of transparency. I think we are not as religiously fundamental as other nations in spite of all the attempts to make us so.
Q: It’s every liberal’s dream to tell Ann Coulter to "shut the fuck up". I recall once, in your "Letters From Henry" portion of The Henry Rollins show, you directed a letter to her; how gratifying was that? Ever get a response?
A: It didn’t do anything for me, really. Ms. Coulter is just a professional wrestler who has not nearly the fan base that many would think. I have never heard from her. I think at one point, Fox News barked at me but no one really watches Fox.
Q: I have heard stories that you and Ian MacKaye met while working at a Hagen Daaz? Is this true? If so, how old were you both? What’s one of the earliest memories that crosses your mind?
A: I met Ian behind his mother’s house while riding my bike. This was many years before I was working at the ice cream place. I have known Ian since I was about 12 or 13. I am 49 now. Ian is the first person of my age group that had his own opinion that I was aware of. I was nothing like that.
Q: You are both credited with sparking the "straight edge" movement, so how did you feel about singing songs like "Six Pack" and "TV Party" during your time in Black Flag, even though you don’t drink alcohol or engage in that sort of behavior?"
A: I had nothing to do with straight edge really. The songs you mention are parodies as the lyrics make obviously clear.
Q: "Eye Scream" was probably my favorite of the books that I’ve read, that you wrote. There was something very "beat". Did any of the City Lights Books roster of writers influence you?
A: I tried to read Burroughs and could never complete a book. The Beats never grabbed me besides Ginsberg’s Howl, which I thought was incredible. The thing I wrote in Eye Scream called Everything, is a tribute to Howl.
Q: Being a publisher yourself, have you ever had the chance to get to know Lawrence Ferlinghetti?
A: No.
Q: Jello Biafra, even Hunter S. Thompson, who followed a somewhat punk ethic, attempted politics. Is it within the realm of possibility for you to ever consider, maybe down the line, running for some sort of office to change things directly (or would that go against the grain of what you stand for?)
A: I have not the intellect or stamina to get any traction in that arena. I like being a private citizen, it gives me a lot of lattitude.
Q: When you played the role of AJ Weston in the FX television series "Sons of Anarchy", did you have to "empathize" to a certain degree with the white supremist’s character to play the part convincingly? Did it ever disgust you?
A: No. It’s just work and I do it the best I can. I know that I am acting and that at the end of the day, I get in my car and leave the set.
Q: Do you mind getting killed off in most of the movie roles you do? Any upcoming movie roles?
A: I don’t mind at all. I am grateful for the work. I work for a living. I am not an artist.
Q: Details magazine named you Man of the Year in 1994. Did you hesitate to accept this title? Or was it an honor?
A: It wasn’t a title they give out yearly, it was just something they put on the cover. I was happy for the coverage and hoped it would help my band.
holy crap! haha. it’s only a matter of time before its pulled …. forgot about the Ann Coulter expletive LOL

Hi MachPen, long time no see!
Great interview, I especially like the Ann Coulter question and his answer.
Where will this interview be published?
(I noticed in your profile that you are 110 years old so we should really get together because I’m 105, hope I’m not too young for you)!

GREAT Qs & As, Ms. Mach!!!
Very impressive, the amount of connections with other artist’s works of art that you thought to connect with Rollins as his possible influences (and anti-influences 
…from City Lights Books to Jello Biafra, George Carlin to Ann Coulter.
LOL at the Ann Coulter answer… srsly, does anyone you respect intellectually watch Fox?? No.
**edit**
haha! now that would just be looking for trouble ;-D
