Sex and the City 2

[gravedigger]

I might be seeing this tomorrow because I love my wife. Expect annoyance and/or frustration from me as Carrie once again surely spurns the correct choice, Aidan, for Mr. Big. In the meantime, enjoy this.

[Sarah]

Yaay! I can't wait to see it!

as Carrie once again surely spurns the correct choice, Aidan, for Mr. Big.

Shut your damn whore mouth, whore!

  Spoiler: And.... 

She only shares one measly kiss with that overgrown surf-punk before realizing she does love Big and wants to make it work. Because Big's the one, as I correctly keep telling you people.

I'm supposed to see it Friday with a co-worker, apparently the only other person within a 100 mile radius besides me who wants to see it. It's taking some pretty hard hits in the reviews, which I don't doubt - it sounds like it sucks wind. But I'm still going for two reasons:

1. I won a coupon for a free ticket, so she and I will split the cost of the one ticket we have to pay for, and both get to go half price.

2. You have to take SATC for what it is - this is the key to either enjoying it, or at least not letting it bug you. You can't go getting worked up that it's not good. Of course it's not good - the series was good, the first movie was meh, the second movie apparently sucks. It's pure cotton candy fluff for the beginning of summer. The people who have really high expectations for a movie like this are the scary people who think that women in NY really live like that. Once you keep in mind it's nothing but fantasy without an ounce of reality in it, it's far less aggravating.

"Gawd, 'The Wizard of Oz' really sucked and really pissed me off, because everyone KNOWS lions can't dance and sing!"

Ebert wins.

What does Siskel think?

I can't ask him, since I have no Ouija board.

[B_Metal]

Anyone who says Sex in the City 2 is just enjoyable fantasy is DEAD wrong!!

This is what my Ouija said.

[Lisa]

This is what my Ouija said.

Oh, Siskel Schmiskel! He doesn't know - that's just the embalming fluid talking!

Okay, so this was released on disc this week. We watched it last night and...we both preferred it to the first movie. It is by no means "good", though. It's over-long AGAIN (but I wasn't checking my watch every 20 minutes) and the dialogue is AWFUL. Seriously, I think the entire thing was ad libbed because it's all "<character> says something <character trait>". Like, Samantha always says something slutty and Charlotte always says something about the sanctity of marriage. The wedding that opens the movie is the gayest thing I've ever seen. And I've been tricked by Rob into seeing meatspin.

List of things that are too horrific to be viewed in high def:
that eye torture scene from HOSTEL
Sarah Jessica Parker

[Lisa]

You know, I never did wind up seeing this. I'll have to catch it on Movies On Demand.

[gravedigger]

Oh, they also threw the guys a bone (heh) and gave Alice Eve a role whose main purpose is to wander around braless and/or in a wet t-shirt. Well, she's also the catalyst for Charlotte's crisis but, yeah, bajoobies.

[V]

If I had to sit through any film with SJP aka 'Mrs. Ed' ("HOOOOORSESHIT, Matthew!") to see bajoobies, I'd commit seppuku with a soup ladle...

I tried to watch a couple of episodes of the show, and just couldn't develop any interest, blouse mice or no, and this despite my love for all things Catrall. Haven't seen either of the films - no desire to. Nope, this franchise is like Twilight - not meant for me, but more power to those who are into it. Enjoy, mazel tov, live and be well, etc.
