I’ve watched SATC’s cleaned up version on TBS. I went to see the movie a couple of days ago. I thought the writing was really bad compared to the series. The only reason I can imagine that a man would want to see this movie is for the nudity and sex scenes.(There were several) There’s a scene where Kim Catrall’s character Samantha is nude and has pieces of sushi covering her in “strategic” places. I regret the $4.50 I spent on this movie(matinee), and the 2+hours that I wasted on a bright, sunny day.

funny how the nerd crowd never seems to put the vulcan and the slut as the same actress.

Ahem. I beg to differ. Hell, I remember when she'd have gone with Jack Burton.... but there was a problem with her face....

I saw the SITC movie this past weekend week end with one of my best girl friends and we loved it.

I have to admit I liked the series although I didn’t at first and I didn’t always agree with or even always like the characters or some of the choices they made and it’s definitely adult fair and not everyone’s cup of tea.

But I think that people who never watched the show make blind assumptions that it’s just all about wealthy women living in NYC, having indiscriminate sex with any man who comes along while wearing fabulous designer clothes and shoes and going to chi chi restaurants and how men can sometimes be cads. Well admittedly, there was some of that going on and some of it is played for humor or for irony, but if that’s all one got out of it, they never really watched it or one totally missed the point, at least the one I got from it.

The show and the movie wasn’t really about sex or even men, but about the close and sometimes difficult and sometimes brutally honest but long lasting and supportive relationships that women have with one another as they go through the many stages and joys and some mistakes of life – dating, career, marriage, children, infertility, infidelity, divorce, illness, menopause, reconciliation…. I can tell you that when my very best girlfriends and I get together we tell each other everything and I mean everything. The raunchy and boastful conversations that men have in the locker room have nothing on the casual but very honest conversations that women can have with each other over a sandwich and salad at Panera Bread.

And I really liked how the movie ended. In the end it wasn’t at all about fashion or materialism or man bashing and in fact the way I saw it, the end of the movie was a bit of a statement about how material things and possessions really aren’t that important. The last scene in the move ends in a simple greasy spoon diner, very far from being a chi chi restaurant with three of the gals happily married to really great guys, some of them with kids, and husbands who have shown that, while not perfect stereotypes of the picture perfect man; are still really great guys and worth committing to. In the end, husbands and family and good friends are more important than the clothes or really great hand bags or shoes or fabulous penthouse apartments.

I LIKE chick flicks...but this has gotta’ be a slut flick. Chick flicks have romance, and decency pays off.

I’d never watch one of those shows (not much of a TV’r); and I’d NEVER pay to sit THROUGH an extension!

My 20 year-old daughter went to see the movie and said it stunk.

Lol! Nice to know someone who shares my picky tastes. Hollywood was so much better when classy ladies and gentlemen graced the silver screen with REAL talent! (and no, I’m not an old geezer!!) ;)

I went for the fashion show and stayed for the nude profile of the neighbor at the Malibu house.

Limbaugh is at it once again trying to pretend he is being original when this came from Michael Savage originally about a week or so ago. Then I guess copying someone is considered the best form of flattery.

When I heard Limbaugh say, “horse face” that was the dead give away. He is still ok, but kind of out of touch now. IMHO...

just have no interest to watch it.

Imagine a comment like that coming from someone with a moniker like yours.

My theory is that "Sex and the City" is basically a fantasy show for a certain type of young woman.

I've also heard that the show is written by homosexual men. If so, that sure put a strange twist on the fantasy thing.

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.

Is this a good enough reason?

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.

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."

What every parent should say to their daughters right after, "Good morning."

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])

Hmmm. Perhaps boys are not the ones we should rely on to determine the course of our culture.

I don’t hate it but it makes women look unfit to do much besides buy shoes and audition for bordello employment.

It didn’t empower diddly

OK... Maybe I will see it. But, just for the sushi.

I've never seen an episode of "Sex and the City" and really have no desire to see the movie.

Last weekend, a friend and I went to see the Indiana Jones movie. It was "SATC's" opening night at the same theater. All of the shows for it were sold out (which was good, because we had no problem getting tickets for the Indy Jones movie.)

The line to get into the "SATC" theater was ALL women and most of them were dressed to the nines. This was one of those theaters that serves dinner and drinks and most of those women in the line were sporting Cosmoplitans in their freshly manicured hands.

We thought it was hilarious that all these women got all dressed up, coiffed, manicured, etc. to go see a freakin' movie.
