Sorry. I haven’t seen the movie and probably won’t, but it’s impossible for me to hate anything involving Kim Cattrall.

[skeeter]

Julia Roberts?

[Revolting cat!]

I don’t do Limbo, but this was good, very good. But there is more. Perhaps in some ways this boob tube show and the blockbuster movie point to the current battles between American women, swimming in the accumulated liquid manure of feminism and men. In this war, American men are losing.

Julia Roberts and Cameron Diaz are sooooo yesterday.

Second, the movie sucks, but in real life, if you are lucky enough to know women like these, you will have something to do.

Just don’t get married! LOL!

[netmilsmom]

Yuck.

[bboop]

Haven’t seen the show, haven’t seen the movie, but I LOVED the “real” movie analysis. Hardihar. It makes total sense, too.

[50cal Smokepole]

This new movie, as well as the TV show, offers horse face, giraffe neck, skank well past her time....

I was ROFL when I heard him say it, and now to read it, I'm ROFLMAO!

[the invisib1e hand]

would never watch anything with such a title.

Why Men Hate Sex and the City

Because it so totally sucks I think I'd rather get a root canal with Obama speeches replacing the muzak???

[GatorGirl]

There’s a reason why they’re called “chick flicks” and that’s because they appeal to chicks. Nothing wrong with it. Shoot em ups often don’t appeal to women, and that’s okay too.

I never watched the series but we’re having a girls night out this weekend, we’re going to a theater that serves food and cocktails and we’re watching SATC simply because it will be an entertaining evening out for the chicks!

And as far as the “solitary hero” theory—ever heard of Lord of the Rings, Mr. Moore?

[Rome2000]

the TV show, offers horse face, giraffe neck, skank well past her time, and that Brunette

HAR!!!!!

[informavoracious]

Men don’t like SATC because even free milk is nasty if its curdled and sour.

[NewJerseyJoe]

I always said there are only two ways to get a man (voluntarily) to watch a chick flick:
1. if it has clever humor or side story, such as My Big Fat Greek Wedding, or
2. if it's told from the man's point of view (a rare thing indeed), such as Somewhere in Time.

I haven't seen the movie, and don't plan to. And I haven't watched more than a minute or two of the TV show, but I know a lot of young women in their 20s & 30s who are hardcore fans of the show and were all gung-ho about this movie a couple weeks ago.

My theory is that "Sex and the City" is basically a fantasy show for a certain type of young woman. From what I understand, the gals on "Sex and the City" wear expensive clothes, eat in fancy restaurants, sip cocktails at trendy nightclubs, live in cool apartments, and have handsome, wealthy boyfriends. The "Sex and the City" fan imagines herself leading a similarly glamorous lifestyle. It's similar to how young men like "Spider-Man" and "Star Wars," and fantasize about battling villains and aliens.

[Barnacle]

I see you wrote about this. You might enjoy Rush's take on the movie.

[A_perfect_lady]

Even if you’re female, unless you’re a fan of the series, it’s a little... long.

[television is just wrong]

just have no interest to watch it.

[PackerBoy]

Okay, here it is. A comment from a man who regularly watched the show and looks forward to seeing the movie sometime in the next year on DVD or cable.

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.

[bolobaby]

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.

[Secret Agent Man]

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.
