My head feels much better, thank you

I went to Firenze’s legendary movie house, The Odeon, on Tuesday night to see - I’m finding it hard to admit this - “Sex and the City 2.” It’s taken me this long to debrief.

Why is that, you may ask? I blame it on the Intervallo.

If you’ve never seen a film in Italy, you may not know about the Intervallo. It marks a spot somewhere in the middle of the film where the theater, often in mid-scene, simply stops the movie. A big announcement splashes across the movie screen as the house lights come up. And then for the next five or so minutes, moviegoers are invited to go to the concession stand and buy, buy, buy.

I wonder why American movie theaters don’t do something similar. Of course, at The Odeon you can purchase alcohol . And when it comes to something such as “Sex and the City 2,” the more alcohol the better.

If I’d had a couple of drinks, I might not have suffered the attack that hit me just after the house lights came back up. It was during the scene where Charlotte ( Kristin Davis ), in tears because though she is rich and privileged beyond belief, questions how women who don’t have any money manage to cope with all the problems that child-rearing poses.

It was at that moment that I grabbed my temples and cried, “Oh, God, I think my head gonna asplode!”

That, folks, is my review of “SATC2.” Hope you enjoyed it.
