“Sex and the City: The Movie” – Yeah, I’ll Pass

March 5, 2008 Posted in Buzz

I think I’m the only chick who rides the ‘I don’t care about the “Sex and the City” movie’ train.

One of my friends lives and dies for this show. I remember one Christmas she got the boxed set of SATC DVD’s and handled them like a newborn as she showed everything to me. Like I half-expected her to put on rubber gloves to handle the box and its contents. She talked about the characters like they were real and they were her friends. And then I looked to her boyfriend. Whose eyes were glazed over because he clearly had been forced to watch — Every. Single. Episode.

She cannot be more set on making a girl’s night out of going to see the movie and then going out for drinks afterward. Cosmos, I’m sure. But there will be no random hook-ups because she thinks that she’s Charlotte and Charlotte wouldn’t ever have fun.

I don’t have the heart to tell her that I don’t share her love for that show and that I thought that it was time to get over it like six years ago.

Because I do think that it’s time to get over “SATC.” I have seen a few episodes and I was definitely entertained by it. But it’s a show and it ended. You never lived that life. Just because the movie’s coming out now doesn’t mean that you now might have regained the potential to live that life – because yours isn’t scripted.

Please give up the fantasy that your life relates to any of the show’s situations and stop living in the Land of Delusions that you are anywhere close to (either in the past, present or future) having your life be a living non-stop episode, because it’s kinda crazy.

You don’t want to be Carrie because she was neurotic and did dumb things; you don’t want to be Charlotte because she was annoyingly romantic while doing dumb things; you don’t want to be Miranda because, even though she was cool, she wasn’t considered to be really hot; and you don’t want to be Samantha because apparently I’m Samantha.

And stop with the cosmos; they don’t even taste good.

I have no desire to watch these old bags run around the city in their age inappropriate clothes. And haven’t they already banged every guy in the city? Did they import new ones from other cities in order to keep it fresh?

I mean, I don’t hate it. I just don’t get it.

So I’m losing steam. Is there anyone else out there who’s boarding at this station?

I feel ya. I liked watching the show for entertainment value (and all the things Samantha could say on tv, even if it was HBO), but it really started getting on my nerves when I anticipated the line "I couldn't help but wonder". SO annoying. This show portrays women in a neurotic, over-analyzing, very insecure state. And I hope for all our sakes that they're all extreme cases.

I'm all aboard!! Despite the fact have you have seen the show, I have not! Not ONE show and my husband is Glad that, he HATES SJP (I don't mind her). And another thing I dont even know the names of the Ladies on the show…

So at least we both know that we're not alone. Here's to not giving in..((Cheers beer))

Oh boy do I see a disagreement here with my opinion. Check out this blogger who so plainly put that she is super excited.

I am all aboard that station, I understand that the series is so 6 years ago, but the movie will wrap up the unfinished edges to the puzzle. I also understand others opinions… I just thought that maybe people agree with me

This is coming from someone who has seen most episodes…I can't stand it anymore.

I think most of the reason I wanted to watch it was because I was in high school and my mom told me I shouldn't. It was entertaining for awhile..but now when I sit down and my friend has an episode on, I don't really see why I liked it so much!

Also…I don't know if I'm the only one but I never liked Carrie. At least once an episode I just thought to myself, will she shut up already?

I know my friends will drag me to see the movie, and I told them as long as they're paying, I'm in. But my boyfriend already put his foot down and said no way, ha.

Dear World,

The girls on SATC are pathetic losers.

Love,

SATC was an extremely popular,funny, entertaining,intelligent sensitive, and extremely uplifting series that MANY women(and men)related to on some level because no woman or man is perfect. The show cleverly portrayed that everyone in this world can makes mistakes and be insecure at times.

The shows writers and actors were able to project real life emotions with such impact that no wonder it touched so many peoples hearts and minds and its Obviously all of you that disagree are not in touch with their emotions as much as others. get over yourselves SATC was and still is a great show.

Tell us what you're thinking...
