I know! That's why I used to like it. But it just went on for too long and it became a parody of itself and made a mockery out of women's lives and aspirations.
I do like pretty things! But I don't worship them.
Sex And The City is here! (no spoilers)

Bringing YOU round.....
So, the movie comes out tomorrow finally and I'm so excited I could pee my pants.
There's a big group of us going tomorrow night and I think a couple of cocktails might be involved.
No amount of piss taking or slagging off will dampen my extreme excitement so go for it, do your worst.
So, who's going? Anyone had a sneak preview?
Please no spoilers.
I can't imagine a film that I would want to see less. But never the less enjoy, whatever rocks your boat.

Me too, I'd rather stick pins in my eyes.
I didn't admit this to the presenter on Radio Newcastle who interviewed me last week about high heels (and Carrie).
I'm a shoe designer and I don't think they could secure an interview with Manolo Blahnik! They got me instead - poor womans' Manolo who wears wellies and lives on a marsh.

El Jefe wins the thread. I wouldn't have so much of a problem with SATC if so many people didn't see it as the ultimate in feminist statements. It's like watching your typical 50's housewife sitcom, except now the housewife wears Prada and has to juggle a job and her crrraaazy lovelife! It's about as liberating of gender stereotypes as Nuts.
Yeah yeah, don't take everything so seriously stdP...
As an aside, a friend of mine whose taste I respect informs me that the soundstrack (freebie that got delievered to their work) sucks donkey balls. Joss Stone covering Al Green for example. Dido may also be involved.

Exactly, some people take things far too seriously.
I get the impression that some of you think people who like Sex And The City are all brain dead bimbos who take it as gospel and mould their lives on it.
Christ, give us some credit.

Yep, totally. I have failed though because I live in bournemouth, am crap at wearing heels and am a civil servant.

You're just an old fart who goes fishing, why should I listen to you and your mate Geoff?

Not everyone, no. Met plenty of people who think it's just entertaining pap. But the people who do take it seriously leave a very, very bitter taste in my mouth. No offence intended, I just talk too much

I've never met anyone who takes it that seriously. Tell me more about these people?
I love it, I looked forward to every episode and have the box set.
It has made me lol and cry but I realise it's just a show.

Me neither.
It's lol-worthy fun, where you get to see some tits, pathetic sex-talk (that is often cringe-inducing) and indulge your whim for following some obvious love stories.
Nothing wrong with that.
I think it's pretty damn obvious there's nothing in there about feminism. The makers might think so, but intelligent viewers don't.
What it might say about feminism is that in our fucked up media world, some women think that having lots of sex and earning lots of money means they are equal and free.
Think again, sister.

Oooh, Aidan. He was lovely but not for Carrie. Big is definitely the man for her.

Aiden was the better person. So lovely, so wonderful, so kind, so caring, so warm, so fucking gorgeous.
Big, well yes, perhaps he was the right man for Carrie, but he wouldn't be the right man for me

I'd steer clear of SATC, the Lebanese version is much better , one of them is a lesbian even >

What's wrong with you woman??? He had a dog and made furniture. How is that dull?
Plus, he'd make a cracking John Lennon in a film about his life.

A little bit, yep.
I would have chosen Big for that reason. Aidan was too settled and cosy, Big was sexy, exciting and unpredictable.
Just did google image for Mr Big. Don't do that at work without safe search.
