Bander, has the coffee-mate been dyed pepto-bismol pink yet? I need to know!
I don't object to the concept of friends hanging out and having cocktails. I just don't think I'd want to hang out wtih these chicks, or generally identify with them. And the marketing (as is the marketing for many, many other films) has become beyond irritating.

I find the Vitamin Water tie-in the most odd and distracting bit of marketing.
I saw a bit of an old episode last night and laughed. I think I might see this movie. Although, why you have to see it on a big screen is beyond my comprehension. It looks like a really long episode. I guess watching it in a huge excited group might make the film seem more exciting - kind of like Indiana Jones IV which was merely passable but made fun by seeing it in a packed theatre. So there's that. I can't wait until the marketing dies down.

Sex And The City is one of the great dichotomies in TV (and now film). The scripts are very well written, but since I (and many guys I talk to) find the cast so fucking annoying, I was never able to warm up to it. I guess they remind me too much of my mother's friends or something.
Desperate Housewives may fall into that category too. (Great writing, but not a show too many guys can watch.)
Getting back to the Square Pegs issue. There were only maybe half a dozen good TV shows in the history of prime time network television. And Square Pegs is easily in my Top 5.

If there are any network executives who read this message board, you guys should take all of the shows that were actually good and just re-air them in prime time... without the stupid laugh track. You'd double the ratings of any show that's currently on.

WHAT ARE YOU CRAZY??? OF COURSE I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS SHIT!!! and i already saw it and it was fantastic. except for jennifer hudson's role. that whole thing should've been cut. but yeah, i don't live anything near that lifestyle and i guess don't really want to but damn dude, that shit be close to my heart for real.
I went to see it this weekend. It was fun in a silly way to be part of a city-wide girls night out with whole groups of gal pals showing up for the show.. Sort of like "Lord of the Rings" for girls (although girls like LOTR, too).
The thing that cracks me up on the TBS showings is that they cut out seemingly half of each episode. If you've watched the HBO episodes, you know what happens but it must be really confusing if TBS is the only place you see it.
As my cousin astutely pointed out, the series is much funnier than the movie.
Do you have to aspire to the lifestyle of a show to enjoy it? I like ER and 24 but want to be neither an ER doc nor government operative. I just want to be a lawyer like Kevin Spacey.
