Sex and the City writer Liz Tuccillo, the woman who penned and directed the Post-It-Note episode (y’know the one where Burger dumped Carrie via a sticky yellow note that read, “I’m sorry, I can’t, don’t hate me”), recently revealed that she’d heard of worse breakups.
“A man actually, literally [lied that] he was going to war,” she told Page Six at a screening of her new film, Take Care.
Tuccillo said the secret to Sex and the City’s success was its sense of realism: “Real conversations in real situations.”
“There seems to be this mandate from studios that every scene has to be somebody jumping into a pool, and somebody running down the street chasing a car or whatever,” said Tucillo. “I think people are tired of that and they want the truth.”
While Tuccillo says she’s heard worse, we thing getting dropped via sticky yellow note is pretty rough.
But there were a lot of moments from Sex and The City that made women everywhere wonder if someone had been reading their diary. Here are some of our favourites…
Sex and the City’s Carrie getting dumped via Post It isn’t the worst way to break up, says writer Liz Tuccillo.
Carrie is horrified when she accidently, ummm, “passes wind” while in bed with Big.
When Miranda bakes a cake, and then throws it out so she can’t eat the whole thing but soon gets it out of the bin and carries on eating it.
When Carrie tries to leave some of her belongings at Big’s so she can say they are in a real relationship.
All the ladies go and watch a sex workshop but the fun suddenly stops when Miranda finds herself caught in the line of fire.
Samantha dates a guy with “the funkiest tasting spunk”.
When Aidan proposes to Carrie while they are out walking Pete the dog.
Carrie gets drunk and calls Big and sufficiently abuses him.
