Today's question: You've invited friends over for a movie. What comedy are you making them watch?
General Manager LAURA FOX is up first—
I’m sitting down to write this and I still haven’t completely decided what I want to say. This is a little too apropos because the first thing we’re going to do together if I invite the lot of you—164 of my closest friends, my premium-level friends if you will—is be maddeningly indecisive about what we watch. There will be much discussion and some reminiscing about good movies we’ve seen together. We’ll throw around some solid references we all get.
Okay, I’ll throw them around and get them. But I love laughing at my own jokes and will laugh hard enough for all of us, trust me on that. We’ll pull up some “best of” list or tab through a streaming service. For me, the act of choosing the perfect movie can be as much fun as watching the movie itself, like wine-tasting but for the brain or maybe some other more sensual combination of parts.
As I began this week’s answer, I was feeling petty at what I felt was my defeat in last week’s debate. In questions like these, there’s no clear winner. I always play to win, baby. And we’re just here to share ideas. Screw that I know I’m right. I’m always happy to hear differing opinions. Every week, I am the literal embodiment of the Hannibal Buress quote "Why are you booing me? I'm right!" At my pettiest moment, I thought it would be hilarious to invite you all over and watch Sex and the City…2 (2010). I mean, that’s not even the good one, and the first SATC film (2008) wasn’t a world cinema masterpiece by any stretch.
[Note: I say this as a seen-every-single-episode-multiple-times fan. I ride HARD for SATC. I know my lore, okay? Big was right all along; Harry was the best of all the partners; Aiden could have never been right for Carrie; I am “a Charlotte”, et cetera.]
I decided after about a day an hour that making your sit through SATC2 would be against the Geneva Convention or something, and I had to make a real pick.
