I'm not interested in seeing the movie or anything further of the promotional tour for it, or anything involving SJP. Yawn. So over all the "nothing".

And for me to not like something about sex is weird. I think it was the episode where the old lesbo told the lesbo in training "I want you to stick your finger into my pussy" that made me just toss my hands up and say "I give up. No more trying."

The characters were interesting and they had ups and downs, they truly f'd up and made wretched mistakes and pulled themselves out. As a singleton, I related to the depiction of independent single women trying to make their way in a couple centered world, and trying to determine what they needed and wanted out of life and from the opposite sex. That said, I am completely not interested in the movie. I did feel they wrapped it up very nicely at the end, and this movie just feels completely unnecessary. I enjoyed SATC during its time, but its time has passed. I admit that I was a fan of the show, although I was never really taken in by the incredibly unrealistic materialism, or the bed hopping.

But you'd be surprised at the people who do have this mindset. After all, the original stories (which were the basis for the show) were based on one woman's real life adventures in NYC. And there are people who live this life who look at things such as this show (along with other things) and use it as some justification of their lifestyle. Believe it or not, there are people who really do want to live like this...or do live like this. I've been at this long enough to see it.

SATC is a wonderful show. No one I know actually lives like that, so to me it's just a fantasy of how the other half might live. The characters are all relateable, and I after watching I can certainly say, I have a Charlotte friend, a Samantha friend, and a Miranda friend. Like you said, we all dream of a Mr. Big to come and wisk us away. I disagree, except about SJP’s hat.

The show is fictional...it took place in an alternate reality. So many people, though, try to live like that, they see it as okay, and screw up a good part of their life in the process. You can't script life, no matter how hard you try. Yes, Capcom…that’s it, precisely!

Isn't it funny how after many seasons of shows where the plot centered around being "free" to skank up NY in any way you please, with whomever you please, in the end happiness was shown to be staying with one person, having kids, a normal life, and moral stability? Kind of cancelled out the entire former purpose of the show, if you ask me. I don't have HBO either, but when it got syndicated I checked it out to find the appeal.....and found none. P.S. I don't blame the others for not wanting to be around SJP in that hat. It kind of looks like a big "Look at me!" sign above her head. Not cool to draw attention to one's self like that in an ensemble act. Totally agree AnonymousNow and K!

I have to agree...even though there was <em>some</em> redemption of the characters from their vapid, materialistic lives, the basic premise of the show seemed to be self-indulgence at any cost. They're looking and looking and looking and they don't even know what they are looking for. It is painful to watch. Maybe I'm square, but I know there's more to life than that. It's almost as if they were saying that one cannot find happiness until one churns through as much of one's selfish desires as possible first. #2: Absolutely.

Basically, as a guy, I would state that if your girlfriend is really into Sex in the City, run, and run fast. I know because my sister is really into it, still, and I would advise anyone to run from her, if she wasn't my sister. It caters to rank materialism, narcissistic ignorance, and form over substance-- listening sis? That's why it got big in the first instance. Lots of chicks (and guys) want to live in that world. “In an attempt over the years to try and figure out the appeal, I’ve seen pieces of episodes here and there, but I have come to the conclusion that I just don’t get it.”
