The death of Sex and the City
Guardian ^ | May 24, 2010 | Hadley Freeman

Posted on 05/24/2010 5:44:16 AM PDT by C19fan

I'm not asking for much. I just don't want to be sick in my mouth. I don't want to leave the cinema feeling like I've paid £7.50 to be mocked, patronised and kicked in the face. I don't want to be filled with despair at Hollywood's increasing inability to conceive of women in comedic films as anything other than self-obsessed babies with breasts. And I don't, most of all, want to spend two hours watching dreams and memories from my youth being trampled into humiliating self-parody. Is that too much to ask?

I can't understand how this woman is a movie star...

Hey, they made a bunch of money off Seabiscuit.

P.S. - SIC = Sluts In the City (I forgot to mention that in my previous comment)

Cheers

Heterosexually transmitted AIDS was a myth created by gays to elicit support for funding.

Of course I.V. drug users transmit it when they share their needles, but you are correct. Heterosexual AIDS is a myth.

Much like the queers, Africa realized that it could get on the AIDS bandwagon, by classifying everything from Malaria to Pregnancy as AIDS.

Just the title of the show turned me off. I’m not a prude but I don’t like NYC, big cities or watching 4 middle aged sluts in action. So I have never watched one episode.

dreams and memories from my youth

Gosh, I used to dream of being a teacher or IRS Commissioner, not of being a whore.

No surprise here. Just that it should have a more ‘correct’ title (TRAMPS and the City) to characterize the storyline.

I saw the trailer for SIC while waiting for Robin Hood to start (if you haven’t seen Robin Hood, yet, go see it!

That's funny! My entire exposure to SIC is watching the trailer while waiting for Robin Hood to start!! I too thought RH was a very fine movie.

You dreamed of being IRS commissioner?! Whores are more honorable.

"these sluts go to Abu Dhabi for more sex."

I've been to Abu Dhabi. Beautiful city, but trust me, 4 sluts don't go around cruising for sex there. It would have been more believable if they had went to Bahrain. stuff happens there...

With an apartment in the Watergate, and several cats. That was a long time ago.

Sure, but Seabiscuit had talent.

The CDC tracks IV transmissions separately from heterosexual transmissions. The 175,000 heterosexual transmissions excludes IV drug users. Do you have a better source than the CDC? Convincing heterosexuals that there is no risk of AIDS transmission from sexual intercourse is not a very good idea.

I read an article recently that many cases of “heterosexual” AIDS transmission to men disappeared when the researchers classified the cases as homosexual *for men who had anal STDs*.

Kim is pretty easy on the eyes, the other two, not so much. Horse face and lesbo, nah.

That doesn’t exactly qualify as a reliable source.

She’s a snotty b***h too, and a major Obowma butt kisser.

Yeah, that line stuck out to me, too. Thankfully, my wife doesn’t care about that show, so I’m spared.

Sex in the City:

4 Gay Men in Manhattan who’s roles are played by women.

That’s effectively this show, period.

Assinine looking “so called fashions” and ridiculous banter. Also, someone should tell carrie when she is not on the set that it is time to put the fantasy behind and move back into the real world. I’ve seen photos of her in mags etc and she looks ridiculous. Totally skinny to the point of sickly and wearing things best left to the YOUNG.
