Sex and the City: DA MOVIE will be terrible.

[GilloD]

The show has a casual charm to it and even when it's downright dopey, it was at least first to the "WOMEN ARE REAL PEOPLE!" game. However, in the time since it's very, very timely demise, stay at home Moms, 40 year olds who wish they were 14 and girls without personal ambition have savaged the show's reserve of good nature. I was just about to give a critical pass altogether when the movie rolled up.

Has there been a worse idea? The major charm of Sex and the City was it's long form pain, watching these 4 selfish, utterly unlikable women suffer the same humiliating personal defeats as every average joe. Having a movie full of wish fulfillment and happy endings slammed into two hours is not only a boring disgrace, it gives chance for all these weird fans to have a DAY OUT JUST LIKE THE GIRLS ON TV.

I'm sure the movie will be terrible, but the things it will do to the show's legacy is worse.

The only way this movie would work is if it ended in an incredibly realistic four-way between all the ladies.

Or they were all run over by taxis.  That'd be awesome like in Mean Girls.

haha. What. You want a gay SatC story? HERE IT IS:

So I'm like 17 and dating this girl who is a royal bithc, but I'm 17 and don't know any better. A week before New Year's Eve she tells me we're going to a party.  Sounds great! On NYE, she tells me that she's just going to bed early and the party is off. I'm a little bummed, but whatever. I stay home and drink cosmos with my Mom and watch Sex and the City. This is totally gay. Anyway, my girlfriend calls me up at like midnight, she's drunk and she's scared because she fucked some guy and now he wants to follow her home. I had to go pick her up. Fuck that. I went back home and get drunk with my Mom and more Sex and the City.

I mean. The show has some charm. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe I'm riding on nostalgia. But the movie will be awful.

And thanks, Tauntaun. I do what I can

  Yeah baby, and that story is sad.  :'(  *hugs*

I like my idea better.

The only way this ending would work would be if Sarah Jessica Parker weren't some sort of chimera.

turn me on.

all the women in this show are ugly. i'm glad i never watched it

but i did hear someone dies in the movie. hopefully of aids

[Mr. Gundam]

I loved the TV series, but I always thought a movie would be pointless. I expect this to bomb at the box office.












I'm still gonna go watch it with the wife, though!

It's a pretty good show.  I've only seen the first season, but I can see myself nabbing the series set if the price drops.  There's a lot of backlash on the show, but it's pretty good stuff.

It's a fun show. We own the series boxset, and ended up watching the final season in one sitting. I wouldn't mind going back and watching the whole thing again.

is there any male or female nudity?

[Mr. Gundam]

is there any male or female nudity?

Yes. It's an HBO show. 

[Phoenix Dark]

what type of nudity, full frontal or just boobs? you've peaked my interest

Watch season 2 of Dexter.

[Mupepe]

the whole aidan storyline is really good and when I saw it, it sold me on the show.  The only thing I haven't seen is the final season.  Like tvc, I'm waiting for a price drop and I'll glady purchase it.

Honestly, the full series set is only 200 bucks.  200 bucks for 7 (right?) seasons isn't a bad deal at all.

[Mupepe]

really?  Last I saw it was like 300.  That's not bad.  I get paid on Wednesday and I might pick it up.  Heard the final season is pretty bad though.

[Mandark]

This always struck me as lifestyle porn for women who read Cosmo, the way Entourage is lifestyle porn for guys who read Maxim.

Of course Entourage had its high points and this might too, but if I watched it I'd probably go in determined to hate.

[Mupepe]

I went in determined to hate it, but there's a lot to like actually.  The characters have some real depth and it manages to stay fresh and stay (mostly) realistic.

Mandark, TVC and I can all watch it together.

Pretty accurate assessment imo. Go in determined to love and you'll probably come away hating it just as much.

There's a lot to hate with Carrie's arc in the final season, but it wraps up nicely.

I started watching SATC with this mentality, but it didn't last long. It's a good show.

I've watched most of the first season, but it's really too mopey to shotgun watch it.  Like, one episode a week (or month) is plenty.

That's like 5 bucks a disc. The first season is terrible.

That's what I have. We bought it from DDD during their twice yearly 20% off sale when it first came out, I think we paid $180 for it.

The Bellevue Best Buy has it in stock, TVC!

Best Buy near my house has it in stock!  I'm down!

Also, yeah, SFU is really depressing to watch at some points.  But the first season is the biggest downer because it's all about the dad's death.  It becomes a lot more comedic and not so debbie-downer in the second season.  Great show though!

But then the third season is MEGA DOWN TIME. Foruth is okay, but Fifth is like the founding moment of SADCITY.

The final episode is FUCKING incredible though.  I've never felt so fulfilled from a series finale ever.  Tied up ALL loose ends.

 This movie is 2 and a half hours long...
