Sex and the City movie

[abcdefz]

...is anybody really wanting this?

I've started seeing the trailer in front of everything, and I just... ugh.

[AceFace]

i am a girl. and i am a fan. and i hope she and mr. big fuck everything up and head to splitzville.

i can't wait!

[b i o n i c]

fuck dat shit.






i might like it if dee snyder played sjp's part. he's prettier.

[Waus]

NEW AVATAR!!!(y)

[bigblu89]

I've only watched the show in passing, as my wife was a fan of the show, but she says that there's no reason for a movie.

Now, if they made an OZ movie, I'd be all about that.

[MC Moot]

I used to enjoy it...like maybe the first season or 2...but in hindsight it's horribly pretentious shit...not a likeable character amongst them and a lifestyle/scene that has zero appeal in reality...ughhh...

P.S: I was waiting for A-Z to drop his Warhol silk screen,fuck'n braggart...;)

[AceFace]

i agree that there isn't really need for a movie, but i'll still see it.

i will disagree with Moot, though. :x i think it was some of the best TV writing ever. every episode rang true to me in some sort of way and boy did it bring me to tears more often than it didn't.

i HATED the finale though. that writing was pure shit except the part with samantha.

[abcdefz]

P.S: I was waiting for A-Z to drop his Warhol silk screen,fuck'n braggart...;)



If you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao you ain't gonna make it with anyone, anyhow.

[funk63]

never watched the show, wont see the movie.

[Yorkshire~Rose]

Although i have an inkling i will be a bit disappointed in it - i can't wait all the same.

I love SATC though, i got the 'shoebox' DVD boxset of all 6 seasons for christmas and thought it was the best present everrrr.

I disagree with Moot though about the lifestyle/scene having zero appeal. I would LOVE to just write a weekly newspaper column for a living and somehow manage to live in a lush apartment in NYC and have seemingly unlimited funds for Louboutins.

[MC Moot]

my vision of Manahatten has nothing in common with these broads,their shoe fetish,martinis,strike a pose poxy tossing scenesters...nope I'll take my beatnik,starving artist,scrounging for a cup a Joe so I don’t get asked to leave the dinner as I’m just writing,not eating at at 3a.m in the Village,style...thanks…that’s romance,that's New Yawk!...die debutantes die...:D

[HotAndWet]

I will see it but don't think it'll be very good. The finale was fine, that's it close the chapter.

[Randetica]

im SO not gonna watch it

[beastiegirrl101]

...is anybody really wanting this?

absofuckinglutely!

[bigblu89]

Oddly enough, the 2nd group of people bother me more that the Sex N Da City crew.

You know, the ones that laugh at the people actually earning a living.

Get a fucking job you hippie.;)

[bigblu89]

absofuckinglutely!

There was no doubt in my mind that you'd be all up on this.

[beastieangel01]

no, god, no.

[Waus]

I was always so turned off by the chicks in that show I couldn't finish an episode. I didn't really have much motivation to finish an episode anyways, so as soon as they annoyed me it was BLAOW - channel change.

[kll]

die debutantes die...:D

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!





















WORD ON THE STREET IS THAT ONE OF THEM DOES DIE IN THE MOVIE!

[Yetra Flam]

this show was pretty much the worst thing that has ever existed in the world.

[Dorothy Wood]

you guys are all just jealous that you aren't as fabulous as those ladies!

hmph!


blah, I already defended my fondness for the show in the genius thread. pfft.

[BBboy20]

We need more witty jokes.

[Randetica]

girls love that show cause it makes them think it's ok to be a total whore

[Yetra Flam]

"omg shoes!"
seriously. die

[Dorothy Wood]

the show isn't just about shoes. actually, anything they say or do with shoes, is just fucking stupid, I will concede. there's this one episode when Charlotte lets a shoe store guy fondle her feet and he gives her free shoes, and everyone's just oohing and ahhing over these sandals that are the butt-ugliest things I've ever seen.


blah. I don't care enough to go on. I'm just saying, when you get to know the characters and you kind of let all that superficial stuff, the show has a good heart.

[b i o n i c]

they're all so unlikable, i cant stand this show. it makes me want to throw things at the tv. especially the old crusty beyotch who goes around banging ypung dudes. as if

[Documad]

I loved the show but I'm sort of dreading the movie. The show ended pretty well (except for Carrie winding up with Big at the end).

One of the things I heard leaked about the movie's plot really turned me off. So I have to decide whether I should see it when it opens and probably be disappointed, or hear all about it and then never see it because it would be completely ruined.

I'm opposed to the whole idea of a movie. The show was good because the episodes were 20 minutes long. They were cotton candy. I don't want 100 minutes of cotton candy in one sitting.

(I really hope I eat my words . . . . .)

[b i o n i c]

ugh.... i <3 you, skye


<3<3<3<3<3

[The Notorious LOL]

Sarah Jessica Parker is more equestrian looking than Julia Roberts, and that one slut is like 65 years old bouncing around in a bikini...put some clothes on you old hag.

fuck this show with a crowbar soaked in rabid pitbull saliva

[Randetica]

I think I am the only female in the world who hasn't watched a single episode.

doesn't interest me at all.
the characters are boring and lame.

I have never watched desperate housewives either, I am sure its worse.

same here, sorry

[discopants]

What i want to know is this: in America you have the following three programmes

Sex and the City
Desperate Housewives
Grey's Anatomy

These shows are filled with ugly women who think they're gorgeous, so my question is who's been filling their heads with such crap. I mean, Terri Hatcher, her face needs ironing.

[Documad]

I liked Sex and the City because it was funny, and because it did a good job of capturing something that I have with my circle of friends -- not the obvious things that got a lot of press at the time, but the little things like the way that you can call your good friend in the middle of the night and meet her at a coffee shop. I never liked the episodes that had a big plot development, which is why I doubt the movie will work for me. HBO is really out of shows now, isn't it?

I've never seen Desperate Housewives because the early ads made me think of prime time soap operas and I never cared for that genre.

I don't think that I've ever watched a show because it had an attractive cast. It's never occurred to me that people would judge a show on that basis, but I suppose that explains all the shows I see mentioned in US Magazine that I've never seen.

YES! the show wasn't about shoes and dresses blah blah (even though i'm ALL about those things and loved every minute of them in the show). it's about friendship between women and how the differences in each of them complete their "family" circle. sometimes i watch an episode and get that "wow, that was just amazing" feeling.

i think it's funny how many people either love or hate it.

i'm a HUGE fan and always will be.

also, not every woman in america is drop dead gorgeous. i find it refreshing to see an actress that isn't perfect, b/c i sure as hell am not.

[MC Moot]

"Entourage"...the male equivalant thereof...

[AceFace]

haha . i really liked entourage the first two seasons and then lost interest.

[abcdefz]

"Entourage"...the male equivalant thereof...



No, because Entourage, at one time, was good.

I can't believe all the SatC love. I thought it was so obviously a bad show that everyone would fall in line with my disgust.

Oh, well.

[AceFace]

No, because Entourage, at one time, was good.

I can't believe all the SatC love. I thought it was so obviously a bad show that everyone would fall in line with my disgust.

Oh, well.

i think it's a show that is more understood by women and men just don't get it. it's ok. you can not like it. i still believe in you. :D

[abcdefz]

I understand it. Jeez -- it's not exactly rocket science.

I think you just don't "get" Alf.

[AceFace]

sooorryyyyyy. :o

[abcdefz]

Yeah, that was my knee jerking, there. My apologies. It just always bugs me when someone's response to "I don't like this" is "You just
don't understand it." It's kinda patronizing.

[AceFace]

i don't think i mean it that way. but i don't know how to explain what i mean.

[abcdefz]

I'm assuming it's along the lines of "it's a girl thing," or maybe similar to a woman who doesn't understand why her man thinks football
is so fascinating. Where one gender just seems to have a blind spot for something the opposite gender really embraces (stereotypically).

That sort of thing?

[AceFace]

ummm, maybe. but not really. the show was really emotional for me. i cried a lot. it actually helped me through a hard time b/c carrie went through the same thing i went through. i felt real emotion during a lot of the episodes. i identified with the women, for the most part, and would get this overwhelming feeling sometimes watching it.

i think it was written to be that way. to evoke emotion specifically in women. at least it worked that way with me and most of my friends. we'd get that silent "oh wow. hold your chest b/c your heart hurts a little after watching it" thing lots of times.

my husband doesn't get that whatsoever. he hated when it came on b/c he knew it meant i was probably gonna cry and he isn't down with that.

[abcdefz]

I cried for other reasons. :D

[Dorothy Wood]

I know some dudes who hated it, but then watched it and started to get to know the characters, then liked it. I don't think it's specifically "a girl thing".

also, sometimes it's really funny.

the backlash against this show by people who haven't watched it, is just kind of insulting to people who have and enjoy it...it's like you're calling us stupid.

There is a realness to the relationships between the women that I haven't found in any other show.

yes, there are plenty of cringe-worthy moments, embarrassing dialogue, outrageously slutty behavior.


I suppose to me, I am entertained by watching movies and television shows that are about people and things that I don't know anything about. Rich fancy manhattan ladies are foreign to me and my experience, but their situation speaks to the human experience. Man vs. man, man vs. himself, man vs. nature. Serious, human truth, cloaked in sequins and sassy talk.

[bigblu89]

Yeah, I'm with A-Z here.

See, I like my comedies to be comedies, my dramas to be dramas. From the eps I've seen, during the most dramatic parts, they make too much of a joke about it.

It could be said about a ton of shows out there, but no one talks the way the ladies in that show talk. No one's that forcably witty.

And some of the witty jokes that SJP's character blurts out at the wrong moments would get her a slap across the face from most women.

I'm probably quoting it wrong, but there as an ep where Kristen Davis' character is trying to get pregnant and is upset that she may be barren, while the 4 of them sit at the breakfast table one of them was like "maybe you should order the eggs" or something like that.

A line like that would get that chick punched in the face.

[Yetra Flam]

"men don't get it"
so if i don't get it, does this mean i'm a man?

[beastieangel01]

"men don't get it"
so if i don't get it, does this mean i'm a man?

I feel the same way.

That show honestly brings the chunks up to my throat if I have to watch it.
I've seen a few episodes and I find all the characters completely unlikable. So much to the point that when bad things happened to them or things didn't work out, I thought they deserved it because they themselves are so god awful.

no offense to you fans *cough*

just not my cup of tea I suppose.

[na§tee]

do you all remember the chick flick thread from more than a year back? i said this (http://www.beastieboys.com/bbs/showpost.php?p=1421689&postcount=48) then, i could elaborate it on it more now, but to be honest, i've had too much unidentifiable spanish booze and it's almost midnight.

[Randetica]

"men don't get it"
so if i don't get it, does this mean i'm a man?

yes.

[jackrock]

sometimes i watch an episode and get that "wow, that was just amazing" feeling.


It's a television show for fuck sake.

[Documad]

I don't know how long it's been off the air, but I still remember it so well. I was at a lingerie store the other day and they were trying to make us customers see an expert to help us decide what bra size we are and I immediately thought of when Miranda's mom died. There are probably 30 of those moments in the show that still flash through my brain.

[hitmonlee]

i have male friends who have claimed not to like it, but then i'd be watching and there they would be, laughing along with the show.

you can't resist funny.

[abcdefz]

I feel the same way.

Yes yes yes yes yes.

[AceFace]

It's a television show for fuck sake.
enh, some things just hit me that way. not every TV show does that to me. but movies can effect me that way too, especially if they're saying something that i'm feeling at the moment.

music too.

i can't help it that i'm in touch with my emotions. :p

and honestly, i really didn't mean "men don't get it" or "women don't get it". maybe i just got it.

to each her/his own!

[hpdrifter]

I loved the show. To me it was just nice to have a show about women from a different perspective. Most female characters in sitcoms these days are the long suffering wife of some fat idiot who is not even as attractive as they are and who continually messes things up.

This one was about the women's lives from their perspective. They are advancing in age and not married. They're enjoying life and having fun. They have the same conversations about sex that I have with my girlfriends. They fight and drink and go out. If these characters were men going out and scoring chicks and enjoying a high powered lifestyle would there be this much hate? Entourage has equally cringe worthy moments, awkward dialogue and bad acting (though I love that show too).

And what is up with all of this hate for actresses over 40? Its nice to see them getting some work. Why isn't anyone saying Patrick Dempsey, Rob Lowe, and Charlie Sheen are too old and wrinkly to be TV stars?

[Documad]

^^ I agree with everything you said.

[abcdefz]

Well, since I'm not allowed to post in that other thread... :D


Entertainment Weekly is my toilet reading magazine because they had a $10 for one year subscription. SOLD.

Anyway, this latest issue was a big fat one and almost the whole fucking thing was dedicated to the Sex and the City series. Trivia,
episode guide, blah blah blah.

Wasted a whole fucking issue on this shit. (n)

[AceFace]

and see.... i would eat that whole issue up!

[abcdefz]

I'll send it to you. :D

[AceFace]

i actually might go buy it today and read it at the gym.

i don't want your bathroom reading material! jeez! :p

[abcdefz]

This didn't make it to the bathroom, since there basically was no reading material. :)

[beastieangel01]

chunks are rising in my throat

[abcdefz]

-- actually, come to think of it, maybe the bathroom is the place for it, just in case my Sears catalog runs out... :D

I was a little dismayed by that issue. I could not believe all the coverage.

I am also a bit peeved that Diablo Cody is now writing for the backpage. I used to like the 20 questions they asked a celebrity. I did not read Stephen King's tripe and now I do not read Diablo's ramblings.

[funk63]

never seen it but brain automatically hates it

I walked out on Juno, but I figured I'd give her column a try.

It truly sucks. Stephen King's is marred by his own bad taste, but it's readable. Cody's seemed like she ran out of ideas before she even started.

Enjoy your 15 minutes, girl.

[cookiepuss]

Yeah, that was my knee jerking, there. My apologies. It just always bugs me when someone's response to "I don't like this" is "You just
don't understand it." It's kinda patronizing.

well see you aren't the demographic audience the show is made for. NOT FOR YOU! thus you need not like it.

I would say sex and the city is intended to be marketed to hetro women and gay men between the ages of 18-45.

the women on the show are charactures of female sterotypes. the plots are exagerated. if you're going to enjoy the show you gotta take that with a grain of salt. The reason some women connect with this show is because they can realte to the bonds of friendship between women that is the glue of the show.

I find the show humorus...but as I said before...I kinda lost interest after a while.

you know if I'm going to see this damn movie, someone is going to have to catch me up on how the tv series ended...cause I never saw it.

[abcdefz]

well see you aren't the demographic audience the show is made for.



...an audience for really shitty TV?

Gimme a fucking break. I'm not the target demographic for Little Women, RoboCop, or Millions, either, but I loved all three of them.

Pretty much if it's good and it's not most opera, I can tell it's good.

[abcdefz]

you know if I'm going to see this damn movie, someone is going to have to catch me up on how the tv series ended...cause I never saw it.



They all died. It was really sad. I teared up a little.

[cookiepuss]

ah dude, it's not that you CAN'T enjoy shows that aren't designed for your demographic. of course you can and people certainly do. HOWEVER.

in general the writers of sex in the city aren't making it for hetero men. they just aren't.

that has nothing, and I mean ZERO, to do with whether the show is GOOD or not.

[Yeti]

My wife watched so I would pay attention from time to time.

Let me think.....Carrie got back with Mr Big...the red head was living happily with the thick glasses guy and a rugrat......the slutty Samantha was with some young guy.

I just had a scary thought. The old slutty Samantha bumping ugly on a huge movie screen. Can anyone say body double?

[abcdefz]

I actually really love genuine movies about women. They hardly ever get made. But, to me, this is ugly fantasy that doesn't ring true and
is pretty mean-spirited at times. That's what bugs me.

[cookiepuss]

(y)well you're not alone. women that don't like it tend not to like it for that reason as well.


if you're put-off by the characters, then you'll never identify.
like I said the women are really charcatures of sterotypes. if that really bugs you and you can see no humor in it...then you aren't going to like the show.

[Dorothy Wood]

I actually really love genuine movies about women. They hardly ever get made. But, to me, this is ugly fantasy that doesn't ring true and
is pretty mean-spirited at times. That's what bugs me.


what genuine movies about women do you like?

and how many episodes, what seasons have you watched of sex and the city?


I'm really trying to not get personally offended by the people who hate the show, I just wish that it wasn't presented in such a rude fashion, as if the people who enjoy the show are brainless.

[abcdefz]

They're period pieces, but I think Little Women (with Sarandon) and Sense and Sensibility are terrific good. I love You Can Count On Me.
Grace of My Heart. Persona. Blue. The Age of Innocence. An Unmarried Woman. Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. If I say Tootsie you
might think I'm being cheeky, but I'm not. Betrayal. The Lady Eve. Hell, the Silence of the Lambs goes on there. Broadcast News.
Purple Rose of Cairo.

I dunno. This is off the top of my head. I wish I could thing of more women's ensemble sort of movies.

I've seen a disc and a half or two discs worth of stuff. I don't think I started with the first season because I'd heard it got better, so
maybe season two or three.

As far as the brainless thing goes, that's what I can't fathom is why women who are obviously smart would fall for this. I whipped on
Bob for liking the DePalma Scarface, too, so it's nothing sexist. I'm baffled by why everybody doesn't have my taste.

[Dorothy Wood]

well, maybe the part you don't understand is that it's fun to watch. and I never would've started watching it on my own. I was wholeheartedly against it for years and never saw any of it until maybe the second to the last season when my friend made me watch it, and it just grew on me. the fun part is being like, "ew, what is carrie wearing?!" or "gross, I hate it when samantha makes that face", or "jesus, miranda's mean", or well...I don't know what to say about Charlotte, she's precious.

this is of course, when you're watching it with other people. it's interactive.

and for the record, it's one the first shows that dealt with female sexuality in an honest way with different points of view. and I'll quote myself again:

There is a realness to the relationships between the women that I haven't found in any other show.

yes, there are plenty of cringe-worthy moments, embarrassing dialogue, outrageously slutty behavior.

[cookiepuss]

we are talking about ENTERTAINMENT here.

not everything has to have deep meaning to be enjoyed.

smart women need a break. they need to laugh and forget about their own lives for a while... and get lost in a fantasy world.

[abcdefz]

But but but -- that's what we've got Bergman movies for!

[abcdefz]

and for the record, it's one the first shows that dealt with female sexuality in an honest way with different points of view.



You're thinking of Gidget.

[cookiepuss]

actually we can all thank Helen Gurley Brown for being the first to openly insist that women enjoy sex as much as men....and there would be NO Sex and the City w/o her.

Sex and the Single Girl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sex and the Single Girl is a best-selling book by Helen Gurley Brown, published in 1962. Vaguely autobiographical, it encouraged women to actively pursue a full single life, which included acquiring a career, gaining financial independence and accepting one's looks. Of course, dating tips were also included.

It was turned into a film in 1964 starring Natalie Wood.

The movie and its film adaptation were a later inspiration for the 2000s hit book turned television series, Sex and the City. The book, by Candice Bushnell, revolved around single thirtysomething city dweller, Carrie Bradshaw, a Helen Gurley Brown icon played by Sarah Jessica Parker.

[abcdefz]

You're thinking of Lady Chatterly's Lover.

Or, hell - Sappho.

[DandyFop]

I am so sick of people using this show as some kind of badge of honor when they don't like it. Gals who say "I am soooo not the typical woman because this show sucks!"

Whatever. I liked it. As Dorothy says sometimes it really does get down to the nitty gritty of relationships and sex and dealing with all that weird bullshit. Much more so than some fakey sitcom.

[cookiepuss]

You're thinking of Lady Chatterly's Lover.

Or, hell - Sappho.

should I then rephrase that Gurly-Brown succeeded in getting society to accept that women enjoy sex as much as men? Because she did...where as those others were just considered...pornography in their time.

regardless she the inspiration for the book and the series....

[abcdefz]

...Gurly-Brown was before Jacqueline Susann?




































I'm just giving you shit. ;)

[cookiepuss]

I know you are...but damn, I had to go look up Jacqueline Susann :o

[abcdefz]

I know you are...but damn, I had to go look up Jacqueline Susann :o


I hope I spelled it right.

I don't understand
Jackie Susann
She meant it that way

[cookiepuss]

oh you guys are totes gonna love this. Scandalous!

Now that the Sex and the City world premieres are wrapping up, it’s almost time for the big New York City premiere. Which means that SATC mania is heating up again, thus it’s time to take a look back on the last ten years and see what kind of terrible behavior wanton females have engaged in as a result of the show.

A Utah woman has claimed to ABC News that Sex and the City turned her into a big ‘ol skank. As a 14-year-old, Long Island native “Lisa” – not her real name – started giving it up to every guy on the street – all as a result of idolizing Kim Cattral’s character, Samantha.

She got hooked on “Sex and the City” when she was a 14-year-old growing up on Long Island, N.Y. It was the same year she lost her virginity. She soon graduated to ordering cosmopolitans at bars she snuck into and cheating on her boyfriend with up to seven other guys — in one week.

“When you’re that age you try to emulate people on TV. Carrie smoked, so I smoked, Samantha looked at hooking up with random people as not a big deal, so that’s what I did too,” said Lisa, now 22. “It wasn’t ‘Sex and the City’s’ fault. I love the show, but I think it made it a little easier to justify my behavior.”

It’s a twisted version of monkey see, monkey do. For some 20-something women, “Sex and the City,” which hits theaters in feature film form May 30, served as Dating 101 — lessons in how to hook up, go out and live the fabulous lives of Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), no strings attached.

Lisa remembers re-enacting one particular Samantha scene in her own life: Season 3, episode 39, in which the bachelorette-for-life scrunches her face up at her latest suitor and tells him she doesn’t like the way he … tastes. “That was something that happened to me. I used her exact words: ‘You have funky spunk,’” she said. “I knew from watching the show that it had to do with something he was eating,” so she took a cue from the script and took an ax to a certain item in his diet.

[From ABC News]

I think most women have re-enacted that scene. My ex-boyfriend and I have what we referred to as the “fish taco incident.” Sex and the City just gave us the language to talk about it, and know that it’s not uncommon. And also a few techniques for dealing with the problem.

Apparently “Lisa” ended up pretty scarred – she moved to Utah and converted to Mormonism. Her husband made her sell her SATC DVD collection, and wouldn’t let her watch on television for the first year of their marriage, for fear that she’d turn back into a skankatron. He’s since relaxed a little and Lisa now has her DVDs back. But she says she wouldn’t want her 14-year-old sister watching the show.

I would agree that 14 might be a little young, certainly for the un-edited HBO version. But something tells me that if Lisa if slept with 7 guys in 7 days, she would have done that with or without Samantha’s encouragement. But if an unusually high amount of babies are born to unwed teenage mothers who don’t know who the father is approximately 9 months from May 27th, I guess we’ll know who to blame.


uh yeah. so I can blame TV for making me in to a slut? cool. I love not having to take responsibility for my decisions!!!!!!

She shoulda stuck with The Flying Nun.

a-z's got sally field on the brain.

I was hoping for an opening for a Norma Rae reference or something.

[jennyb]

Tomorrow!!! *squeal* :D

[funk63]

im gonna go barf then smoke cigaretes.... o and fuck sex in cities.

[Audio.]

I'd watch this movie if only they have heavy knockers.

I was driving home last night and was listening to some local radio host. He was bashing Sex and the City and Sarah Jessica Parker. He kept calling her the daughter of Mr Ed and calling her a horseface. It was pretty nasty stuff.

I saw a clip on TV last night and she was in bra and panties. I thought....hmmm.....she has a nice body. Her face does not bother me but I constantly hear people calling her a butterface.

Oh, the movie. I will catch it on DVD or HBO. I don't have much interest in going to the theater for the film.

[abcdefz]

Eighty-five percent of the audience Friday night was female.


Huh. Maybe that would've been the place to be, after all. :D

[hpdrifter]

See my assessment (no spoilers) in the "last movie" thread.

Loved it.

[abcdefz]

Yeah; I read that earlier.

[hpdrifter]

There is one shot that I think you would appreciate. I was really surprised they bothered to frame it that artistically but I actually thought of you when I saw it. Which means I'm spending entirely too much time here but whatever.

It was like a painting, just really nicely composed.

And one scene where I was shocked at the depth of the acting. Kristin Davis and SJP really went there in this particular scene. I won't say much about it but it got to me in a big way.

[abcdefz]

That's cool. I just can't get interested, but I'm glad you had a good time. (y)

[hpdrifter]

Fair enough.

If I can find a still of the shot I'll post it. Maybe you'd agree, maybe not.

[abcdefz]

That'd be cool to see.

Yeah -- you thought you might just melt my cold, cold heart, eh? :D

[hpdrifter]

Maybe... ;)

[abcdefz]

Humbug! :D

[YoungRemy]

I went to see the Srah Marshall flick this weekend and all the screenings for SATC were sold out. there were several long lines for the next three screenings, 90% of them full of women in high heels and sexy looking dresses so that they could gather in a dark room for two hours. sprinkle in a few guys, who were either with each other, or towing their head behind their ball-and-chain with a "I hope my friends don't see me in this line" attitude.

the hens wouldn't stop clucking outside our theatre, so one of our fellow viewers went outside and told them all to shut up.

(y)

[hpdrifter]

I wanted to dress up but I was hung over.

[kll]

Loved it!

[Lyman Zerga]

cant trust the fire (n)

[AceFace]

i've seen the movie twice in the past week. it was awesome. really. if you're a fan then you will absolutely love it. there are several spots in the movie that are shocking and you can feel the tension in the room.

the way the plot is "resolved" was really good.

trying not to give anything away for the few girls that may still want to see it.

[na§tee]

i saw this a couple of weeks back.

i do think your previous experience with the tv show certainly determines a lot of how you would react to the film. the tv show - i wasn't that bothered. good acting and writing sometimes, short episodes, quite throwaway and glossy really, but entertaining nonetheless. i hate hate HATE women who use their supposed distaste of SATC as badges of honour of not being "that kind of woman". what kind of woman exactly is that? so there are types of womanhood that are okay, and types that aren't? are they aware how ridiculous they sound thinking every woman who watches SATC is a cocktail-swigging, shoe-lusting man maniac? and also - even if some women are, who cares?

erm.. anyway, just to explain what i feel about the series - wasn't a huge fan, but at the same time wasn't hugely offended, either.

i just thought the film was so.. blah. part of what made the show so appealing was that (don't know how the ratings system works in the US, sorry) it pushed the boundaries sometimes in terms of content - they were mostly rated 18. i think it is painfully obvious that the makers of this film were obviously holding back from more dramatic/comedic content that could have been a bit more adult/explicit purely so they could get a 15 certificate (thus ensuring more people could watch it, more money, yadda yadda).

i thought it was a little cheap. sorry. i think her relationship with big is just.. pft, awful. i was really underwhelmed! the best people in that movie are miranda and steve, hands down. charlotte.. oh man. kristin davis belongs to what my friend who invited me said is the "rachel bilson school of acting" - you know, where you just make funny faces and have darting eyes, pout and huff and puff, gurn and squeal and all that jazz. it was a bit embarassing.

also, the constant product placement! i mean sure, yes, hollywood, big business, it's going to happen, i don't care.. but it was so blatant and outrageous at some points it was like watching wayne's world.

i don't know. underwhelmed is the best word i can use here. i just don't see why it warranted a cinematic outing. the tv shows were more cosmopolitan, entertaining and snappy. this just felt like a diluted SATC-lite marathon. i'd wait to see it on the tv, folks.

Over here, it got an R, which (in theory) prohibits unaccompanied people under 18. One of the biggest R rated openings so far, though.

[Dorothy Wood]

wait, what was the product placement everyone's talking about? the fashion stuff?

if it was that, then I know the writer/director did that because he wanted real fashion in the movie instead of fake designers.

other than that, were the going around drinking cokes and buying tide?

maybe I'm just oblivious at this point.

this DID bother me, as do most movies with lots of product placement.

seems apple was a HUGE sponsor as they showed that iphone like 20 times.

[na§tee]

i don't much care for the fashion name-dropping - that's part and parcel of what people expect from SATC. but really obvious pouring of perfectly positioned skyy berry vodka ("the official sex and the city drink!") and the like was a bit cringy.

a product-placement round-up (http://www.vanityfair.com/ontheweb/blogs/daily/2008/05/sex-and-the-cit.html).

[abcdefz]

I noticed a Pringles can in the Hulk movie this weekend and kinda thought "Wha!? Bruce and Betty are on the run figuring out what stuff
to ditch and they get a can of Pringles!?"

[camo]

Product placement is BIG BIZNIZ, Casino Royal was a perfect example of how big it's gotten. Bond actually drove a freakin' Ford in it!!!!!

All of his tech shit is Sony too.

[hpdrifter]

I think the one that seemed the most glaring to me was the Vitamin Water seemingly strewn everywhere when they are in Mexico.

[venusvenus123]

loved it. i laughed with a friend throughout. one of the funniest bits was when samantha (i think) was feeding carrie yoghurt in bed. i don't think i was supposed to laugh at that point :|

samantha has the best lines.

Hey Gweedo, you realize you're looking like a stalker by bumping this old thread just to take a shot (and it's not even a good shot) at Remy, right?

[YoungRemy]

sorry Beastie-Free!

[KENNY GUIDO]

Hey Gweedo, you realize you're looking like a stalker by bumping this old thread just to take a shot (and it's not even a good shot) at Remy, right?

negative on the stalker part: young remy has accomplished that already.

[Documad]

Please don't tell me he spent the morning reading all of Remy's old posts. :(

[YoungRemy]

looking for any errors in spelling, slang, or grammar.

he told me I spelled the word "You" incorrectly in a thread about the NBA Center Yao Ming.

[Randetica]

how can anyone be so childish, low and annoying without a break?


(yes i just want kenny to bump my posts cause i love everything i ever wrote)
