Sex & the City: The Movie
Ugh. I was made to watch that film. It was dreadful. One of them ate too much pudding and shat herself. That's not even a lie! One of them tried to spice up her relationship by making sushi ... and burying her naked self in a heap of it... and waiting for the guy to come back and dig her out. Ugh.

" The role of religious does seem to me extremely difficult, I certainly wouldn't want to deny that religion has a place and although I could be described as an atheist I don't think that would be an accurate description; because I really do believe that ritual and ceremony, and having a sort of space where you're prepared to say " don't know" but which gives you a chance to express gratitude or humility or regret. All those aspects of religion I really like, but the trouble is that some people don't like them or don't see feel any need for them and therefore it seems to me absolutely, totally wrong that legislation that has to bind everybody [...] the rule of law seems to me something that is far more important than any religious dogma. It seems completely wrong that religion should be given an enormous part in legislation. And I talk with passion about this because I'm involved and have been in the debate on euthanasia [...] anyone that says that human life is a gift from God is simply talking irrelevantly because not everyone believes that, so how can their particular belief be brought in to justify legally blocking any attempt at assisted suicide [...] often people who are religious very often have extremely good and acceptable moral views but they have no special access in a matter like that to what would be a good and sound basis of legistlation. Which is a moral matter."
