Sex and the City the movie

[doggish_098]

but my watershed moment was when I saw an episode and they completely lost me when they decided after much agonizing that it just wasn't cool to have Louis Vuitton knock-off bags,Yes i admit that i am abit of a fashionista but I mean it's got to be the real thing or nothing.

For example this one is real and its over $1000 and its real

what kind of man calls himself a fashionista?

all they talk about is their love lives???
-I guess you missed Carrie's episodes about her book being published... AND the show is based on her COLUMN!
-You must have missed miranda's frustration with being a PARTNER in a law firm and trying to juggle that with new motherhood..
-or you missed charlotte looking for work again in a art gallery. Or when they went to many of the shows at her gallery...
-Samantha also had many instances that revolved around her career as a Publicist...

stop picking and choosing what you want to dissect... but as a man, i don't really expect you to understand, even if you watched the show religiously every day, you still wouldn't "get" half of it...

If you want to claim anyone who criticises these characters for being empty headed, shallow and boring (including the male ones)is basically being mysoginistic you are the perfect pitiful sister viewer for the film and probably feel inferior to men (something that i be believe you arent).

Incidentally, the power these female characters you mentioned above need to have over males is exactly that which is the butt of the feeble jokes when that same scenario has its gender relations reversed.


That is what this film is about: failed attempts at acheiving power. If you want to see a positive presentation of a truly intelligent and powerful woman currently around see Happy Go Lucky.

Girl I feel you. I've spent so much money buying my sister the boxed sets. So I decided to give the show a chance one night. IMO it's about not-so-young unmarried women trying to assert their independence all while staying in fabulous fashion. One of them looks like a horse with the body of a crackhead. She's supposed to be the ideal woman. Another one is a whore, pretending to be a nympho. The other one is so passive it made me want to throw up. And the last one was so desperate to have a baby, she got pregnant by a gump. I couldn't relate to any of them. None of my friends watch it either--only my sis & her friends and they're all in their 30s. You couldn't pay me to see this movie

You are one of few BGOL sisters who seems to get it right in most debates. Another strange thing at the cinema is i realised that i was surrounded mostly by 20something women who must've been in high school (or possibly grade school) when Series 1 first aired.

Yet there they all were, trussed up in their Carrie micro-minis with big 80s belts and strappy sandals, whiplash hair extensions carefully ironed and drunk slurred cries of "You go, girrrrrl!" all in synch

but the again, the film reflects what happened to the show - what was once edgy, subversive and gloriously filthy became watered-down, commodified, kitschified and finally sold as an irony-free Must Have product. It's just so depressing one would have thought in 2008 women must have made progress but looks like the SATC loving brigade are proving us otherwise

Boro - my brother.. not once did I say you were misogynistic, I said you were being selective in your criticism. Why are you being so overly critical of this movie? Are you being equally as critical about Iron Man? Or Indiana Jones? Or Kung Fu Panda, Maid of Honor, or Harold & Kumar... guess what.. MOVIES ARE FOR ENTERTAINMENT!!! let me take 2 hours and 20 minutes out of my day and escape to someonelses problems. Let me watch these four old ass crackas, who make me laugh and sometimes drop a tear, live their fictional lives. Can I do that with being a "pitiful sister?"

Is it criminal to find character qualities relate-able to your life? What relativity does Iron Man have? or spider man or the hulk? Fashion is everywhere we go, every time you turn on the damn television, but yet these characters are wrong because they represent the percentage of society that doesn't really worry about the "economy". In reality, EVERY movie wardrobe consists of name brand designer dudes, they just don't talk about it...

 

[SuchATease]

I agree on the bolded part...Forgiveness was a huge theme running through this movie and not only did I love that message, but I love the freakin fashion...how COULD you be a female and NOT love the fashion?!?

Word, loved the way they dressed Samantha in the movie! but I loved her style on the show as well...

That's not the point I was making; And i would like to apologize for my wrong choice of words. That said, I still believe that problem is that there is nothing in the film apart from how these women look.

The media will always print gobbledegook about anything to fill a few column inches, but if there had been something more in the film than wrinkles, labels and botox they wouldn't have needed the stories about behind the scenes rubbish or why S-JP's nickname is Shergar. Oceans 11? Aimed at the same audience as SiTC.

Ohh pleeeze, what an offensive, witless piece of shit that film was! To be fair I started out with good will towards it, because they've cast a bunch of cool actors, but the objectification of women in the early scenes and then the tasteless 'Asian' camp scenes ('I could rule all of ASIA!'?), and then the Transformers scenes just kept piling on the misery. I went out for salty popcorn about half way through, then I went out for a coke after I'd finished my popcorn, and I wish I'd stayed out. So you know how i felt about that one...

Or Indiana Jones?

nothing more really on this...its just another generic film with a generic plot and generic acting. Put it this way . . . it's just generic. The magic has evaporated a bit like the film's plot...need i say more?

Or Kung Fu Panda,

didnt even bother with this one

Maid of Honor

You cant be serious

, or Harold & Kumar

another garbage

..What relativity does Iron Man have?

read my above opinion on it

or spider man

the only thing good about this trash was the trailer

or the hulk?

another trash

can someone tell me why the fuck someone of Mr. Big's calibre would want that old hag Carrie?

How does a man complain about sex in the city?
