Was a 2020s Carrie Bradshaw Ever Really Going to Satisfy Us?
It's a common thing among New Yorkers to feel like you've just missed the city's greatest era, but I genuinely mourn the fact that I wasn't a Brooklynite during the original run of Sex and the City on HBO. No less an authority on rom-coms than Mindy Kaling underscored the impact of the show in her first book, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, writing: 'Let me take a moment here to stress again just how pervasive the Sex and the City culture was in New York in 2002. You could be an NYU freshman, a Metropolitan Transit Authority worker, or an Orthodox Jewish woman living in a yeshiva: you watched Sex and the City.' And what, exactly, has my generation of Netflix-addled millennials been handed instead of the SATC culture that Kaling raved about? And Just Like That…, of course, a series that was to the original series what the five million Bring It On sequels were to the first 2000 film. Now that the less-than-perfect reboot is officially ending after three seasons, I'm left wondering just what it was that went so awry. This season in particular has been something of a slog to get through, and I'm a person who used a picture of Carrie Bradshaw as the background of the first computer I ever owned. If I'm only watching out of professional obligation, you know something is wrong. Carrie may have inspired generations of young women to worship graven images of her clothes, but what I loved about her on the show's original run was that she wasn't aspirational, not all the time. Yes, she had the great job and the perfect wardrobe and the cute apartment and the girl squad and the line of men waiting in the wings to date her, but she also got pigeonholed as a sex columnist and couldn't afford her outfits or apartment and fought with her friends and got dumped and did a million other things that made her feel like an actual person, not just Pinterest fodder. I don't doubt that the 50-plus-and-fabulous life of a rich New York widow was an exciting proposition for some (especially mankeeping wives who hate their husbands but will only admit it after two white wines), but modern-day Carrie's story was also freighted with loss (see: Mr. Big), decades-old baggage (see: eternal loser Aidan), and storylines like disliking the mega-luxe New York City apartments her hot realtor friend showed her. (No offense, but…snore!) Of course Carrie's life in her 50s was going to look different than it did in her 30s, but it's been hard to shake my image of our heroine as the ultimate single, unencumbered, footloose-and-fancy-free-in-expensive-Manolos New Yorker who arguably prefigured the West Village girlie. Sure, she flirted a bit with her weird British neighbor, but why didn't we get to see Carrie really hit the dating market again? I would pay good money to see this woman's Hinge profile! (Okay, fine, she'd clearly be on Raya, but still.)

Ben Barnes Talks Harry Potter Fancast Amid Audiobook Casting
Once again, actors' responses to the ever-expanding world of new(ish) Harry Potter properties are a sign of the times. Unless you've been in a coma, you're likely aware that J.K. Rowling has faced immense backlash for her anti-trans rhetoric. Which isn't to say that her beliefs are merely theoretical; she's provided funding for a group that successfully got the UK Supreme Court to essentially no longer view trans women as women and has created a private "legal fighting fund for women protecting their sex-based rights." Currently, she's calling for a boycott of a chain of stores because a woman claimed that a trans employee* "politely" asked her teenage daughter if they needed help. *The woman and her daughter were there to ask for a bra fitting and the "trans" employee (it's not confirmed whether she is trans, she's just noted as being very tall) was apparently in the lingerie section of the store. She didn't ask to perform the bra fitting and would have had no reason to know that that's why the family were there. Given that the writer continues to use her economic and cultural power to fight against trans people, many have called for a boycott of any new and official Harry Potter IP that will benefit Rowling. That hasn't stopped many actors from cashing in themselves, such as the cast of the upcoming HBO series, which features Nick Frost, John Lithgow, and Paapa Essiedu. Given that the bar is in hell, someone with a passable take on the whole thing is Ben Barnes. You might recognize the actor and singer from The Chronicles of Narnia and The Punisher, but he's also been fancast as Sirius Black for many years now. As per Collider, Ben was recently asked about fan hype at a convention in Florida. 'I found it very weird for a lot of years, because I didn't really understand what was happening,' he replied. "Then I went through a phase of being like, 'Wait, people have imagined me in this sort of old universe thing for like, 15 plus, 20 years now.' And it's that kind of, like, it's the commitment to it, which I really kind of value. And I think is really, really lovely.' 'Most people in the world found those stories and those movies, when they came out, really joyful,' he continued. 'And obviously, in the last few years, I found it much more — a more difficult thing to talk about, because there's obviously, like, a clash between some of the author's views on things and the way I see the world.' "I think that has made it, sadly, sort of tainted, this beautiful mythology of how I saw those stories. But it doesn't change the fact that it's a really — such a cool character, and, you know, to be associated with a character like that from other people who do love it, it's like — it's like a really beautiful thing, and it makes me happy," he added. Ben's words came a few days before the cast of the new Audible Harry Potter audiobooks was announced. The cast includes Hugh Laurie as Albus Dumdledore, Matthew Macfadyen as Lord Voldemort, Riz Amed as Professor Snape, and Michelle Gomez as Professor McGonagall. Hugh said of his casting, "I'm honoured to have been trusted with the keys to Albus Dumbledore, and thrilled to be able to take him around the track of this beautiful incarnation by Pottermore and Audible. I'm also deeply conscious of previous drivers Richard Harris, Michael Gambon, Jude Law and the iconic narrations by Jim Dale and m'colleague Sir Stephen Fry. Just below the horizon, but headed our way, is the rough beast John Lithgow, his hour come round at last. This is great company, and it's a privilege to be among their number." Resist the siren song, Ben...
