BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: There's a little story here in Madison, Wisconsin. It's by somebody named Michael James Moore: "Why Do Men Hate 'Sex and the City'?" Dawn, have you been to see Sex and the City? Never watched the show, she has no intention of going to see the movie. It did gangbusters out there in its opening weekend. I don't know if Dr. De Cock was in the audience, but it did something like $55 million and chick flicks do not do that well. Most people don't see them. Chicks do. But this attracted all kinds of chicks. This story, "Why Do Men Hate 'Sex and the City'?" They don't hate Sex and the City. The reason these men don't go to it is theorized here. Would you like to hear some of the theories from Michael James Moore?
"Media coverage has tried to assess how and why Carrie & Co. induce such massive 'female bonding.' Then there's the other question: Why are men turned off? Vast swaths of the male population will not -- under any circumstances! -- go see this movie." The theory is, "It's the friendships that run so deep -- that's what the men are envious about." They are envious about the deep bonded relationships that these four women have. That's what it says here. "Individually, each was merely interesting. Together, they were wizards," describing the four women. "That 's the guy thing in a nutshell: individual heroics as opposed to being part of a group of kindred spirits. Superman? Rocky? Rambo? Zorro? The majority of heroes in Westerns? Or in war films? Almost always, they're solitary." Men do not bond. He goes on to stay in this story that the only time men get together as friends is when they're boozing it or playing golf or basketball or some such thing, and that they just are envious of the deep bonded friendships in Sex and the City.
Do you want to know, Mr. Michael James Moore, why men don't go see this movie? I'll be glad to tell you. The reason men don't go see this movie, is A, these kinds of women make them sick; the kinds of women that are always shopping for the latest high heels and sitting around in bars drinking drinks bitching about men all the time. People that are constantly involved in relationship analysis will drive men to the golf course, the bar, or wherever they want to go faster than anything. The last thing that a guy wants to hear about is relationship analysis. It ain't going to happen. And there's another reason, Mr. Michael James Moore, why men are not going to watch Sex and the City. The women in this movie are not hot. I hate to be so blatantly honest here. The only way to get a man to see a chick flick is if Cameron Diaz or Julia Roberts or somebody similar is in the damn movie. Hot women. This new movie, as well as the TV show, offers horse face, giraffe neck, skank well past her time, and that Brunette who is not bad looking but certainly not enough to make up for all the rest.
So any man considering doing his duty by accompanying a date to this movie knows beforehand that he will have nothing to distract him from the interminable relationship analysis that comprises the chick flick. You might watch Cameron Diaz or Julia Roberts or take your pick -- there are lots of actresses out there talking about relationships -- because you can ignore what they're saying when you look at them, but that doesn't work in this movie, Mr. Michael James Moore. Please pass this on to the friends at Media Matters for America and the Obama campaign, and by the way, pass it on to the McCain campaign. They'll be very upset with me since they're trying to woo Hillary voters.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Back to Sex in the City for just a second. There's a method here to my madness in naming the four women as I did, mere moments ago, and describing why men are not going to go see the movie or have no interest in it. And I got the usual emails, "How dare you refer to them that way. It's so unnecessary." Okay. You're right. It was unnecessary, except to make this point. You want to know why women are really going to see this movie? It's precisely because of Undeniable Truth of Life #24 which states: "Feminism was established so as to allow unattractive women easier access to the mainstream." It is the guys who want to see Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts and the rest of these clowns discussing relationships. But women want to see Horse Face, Over the Hill Sex Kitten, Grand Canyon Neck, whatever. So they can relate to them. This de Cock guy, this guy from the World Health Organization. This De Cock guy... What, are you still shocked that I'm talking about this, Dawn? Mmm-hmm. Uh... Dawn is telling me that I'm out of touch if I think that Kim Cattrall at 51 years old is no longer a sex kitten or whatever. She says, "You need to look at other 51-year-olds." No, I don't. See, that's the point. I want to look at 31-year-olds. You have to suspend... What did Hillary say? You have to suspend disbelief to accept the fact that what's going on with that bunch is actually happening to them in real life. In their dreams.
END TRANSCRIPT
I hope you have a fun time.
Being a guy... Well all I can say is the food and cocktails would have to be good and plentiful.
Now, how do I delete it?
And there's nothing wrong with that. As long as people can keep the 'fantasy' part away from the 'reality' part, it's a good escape from stress. Just like video games and TV. They have their place. It's just that a lot of people don't know how to keep them in their place.
As far as Kim Cattral? (sp?) Whoo. Anyone remember Mannequin?
Even if you’re female, unless you’re a fan of the series, it’s a little... long.
just have no interest to watch it.
she was wasted in this movie. (funny how the nerd crowd never seems to put the vulcan and the slut as the same actress.
It is four women acting like promiscuous homosexuals.
a whole series and every show is probably the same.
Rush was waaaaaay too kind.
What the heck is wrong with her?
That’s just weird!
If ANYONE wants to see a SPOILER COMPLETE SYNOPSIS you can go to
http://www.themoviespoiler.com
It has all the gory complete details of the pathetic PC putrid pablum that pass for entertainment for females.
the homosexuals who wrote this never got a clue that fruity feminism is dead.
Yeah it just varies person to person. I’m on the other side of things. I’ll take a shoot ‘em up over a chick flick any day.
EEEWW!
The show was well written and well enough acted. Its characters were endearing in their own way, and their flaws were readily apparent and fully exploited. The lives and lifestyles of these women were not really glamorized.
If you regularly watch just about any show, you will probably grow to like the characters and look forward to taking a peek at their lives every so often. That happened to me with this show.
But it's just a show and I am not all gah-gah about the movie. Some of the cable TV episodes were very funny. Those of you who have refused -- on principle or for other reasons -- to watch the show or see the movie just might be missing something you would have enjoyed.
CAVEAT: This show is for mature audiences, as the dialogue and themes are often sexually very explicit.
As a female, I was really disgusted with the show. Four old whores running around making a$$es of themselves is not my idea of entertainment. Hollywood has become a cesspool and completely out of touch with reality. The main reason I don’t go to the movie theater anymore. I won’t spend hard earned money on senseless trash.
The movie - and the show - are a doctorate’s thesis on everything I don’t want my daughter to be.
There are ways to be a strong, intelligent woman without being a vacuous, materialistic slut.
and yet the feminists hold out whoring around and having pursuit of orgasm as their number one priority as a role model.
Of course when boys treat impressionable girls who soak in this pop culture cr*p like sluts both sides treat it as “normal”. (it also helps the newer generations keep their low self esteem complexes so they will be easy pickings for teh advertisers [buy this and you will be worthy for sex])
The main reason (besides the ones Rush mentioned) I hate it is because it is homosexual men writing porn fantasies for straight women.
My God, no straight man in the series gets to ever be 1) right, and 2) a decent masculine guy. Homosexual hatred of their dads and what they represent are all over the place.
Damn, did Ferris make it in to school today?
“CAVEAT: This show is for mature audiences, as the dialogue and themes are often sexually very explicit.”
Gee, how exciting, “mature” audience you say, understatement of the year....you mean they use four letter words, and refer to men’s penis, in vulgar terms...wow, really big time stuff....upchuck!
Heh-heh! Sorry I missed the show! That’s hilarious! But he’s right, they’re not attractive women, but I don’t know where he gets off thinking Julia Roberts is pretty. Cameron Diaz was cuter when she had more pounds on her. She’s practically a boy now; and then add her liberal mindlessness and that really sunk her in the hole.
