Theory: No one who actually lives here gives a #@%! about the Sex and the City movie.

[MichelleD]

Discuss. Or not. I'm just burned out by the incessant coverage.

 

[mikelibrarian]

I think a friend of mine was an extra in it. That's about it for me. I never saw the show, probably will never see it or the movie.

 

[HairballofDoom]

Are they going to do the same oversaturation thing in L.A. when Entourage gets a movie? I mean they are pretty much the same show, just switching the sexes and adding Marky Mark's sweaty, golden touch to it.

I bought an EW this weekend that happened to have THAT on the cover, thinking there would be other stuff to read. Nah. It was an ENTIRE issue about THAT. No Hot List, no Stephen King column, no short profile on a washed-up rocker, nothing. And I didn't realize it wasn't a regular issue until I was sitting on a park bench with a cup of coffee, wearing my big sunglasses. In New York City. And I felt like SUCH a cliche.

 

[SixSider]

Hypothetically, there are people in New York who live that lifestyle (or at least want to live that lifestyle) who are excited about it. I don't know those people. I have very little opportunity to come in contact with them and chances are we wouldn't hang out if we did.

Apparently, to my dismay, thousands of people give a #@%!

I'm not nearly as excited about the "Sex in the City" movie as I am about "Square Pegs" finally being released on DVD. Carrie Bradshaw's okay but she's no Patty Greene. And Mr. Big can't hold a candle to Johnny Slash.

No, no, read again. Those thousands of people were from Singapore and Rockland County. Right? RIGHT?


I know this isn't true. There is a person in my office who can't shut up about it.

 

[gktkd]

I'm really excited- Sincerely and Completely.

I also enjoy fancy cocktails with my giggly girlfriends, cupcakes, fun with puns, and difficult yet sexy men.

I know how those three things zap the pleasure from life and starve babies in the process. But I'm sure the city will survive.

Wait, these are conflicting terms. Starving babies is the only thing I get pleasure from anymore.

I could care less about this movie. It's geared to a certain New Yorker, one I don't know and have never met, as far as I can tell. Let them have their movie. I'll have my Iron Mans and my Dark Knights and my Hellboy IIs, and I'll walk out of this summer with a massive nerd boner pointing to Jupiter, and life will be good.

I'd say people hate on it enough that, according to hipster rules, I'm allowed to like it now.

That said, I would totally go watch this movie and get my motha-f'ing GIRL on.

Sex and the City is never enjoyable if you expect it to be good.
But if you expect it to be fun, it always is.

And I love it being on TBS when I am a drunk mess. Those bitches are crazy.

 

[ThePhilWells]

Wait, is that in this city?

Am I really the only one excited about the "Square Pegs" DVD? Too tangential for this thread?

 

[El Jefe]

I liked the episode where the woman from Third Rock fell out the window. That made me feel better for all the hours* I wasted watching them talk about shoes.

*in the space of one or two episodes

Alas, The Academy had it for like $18 two weeks ago...

 

[canadianmike]

You know, if you watch it backwards it might just contain the secret to the universe... just a hypothesis...

I'm with you.

 

[Dunford]

I'm glad that I'm not in a relationship right now, otherwise I would probably have to sit through this turd this weekend.

I'd rather shower at Buchenwald.

From the comments:

As a devoted fan who stood in line for 4 hours and did not get in I am very angry and disappointed. I blame Radio City, New Line, and the celebrities.

RIGHT? holy shit. this is next up on my "to purchase immediately" list. merritt buttrick/johnny slash died of AIDS in 1989. so insane to think square pegs was huge in 1982 and he was dead only 7yrs later.
