“Old New York, new New York, it’s still f—–g New York!”~Carrie from the Sex and the City movie
Well old Sex and the City, new Sex and the City, it better be f—–g Sex and the City or else me and all the other die hard Sex and the City fans will be as disappointed as Mariah Carey three months from now after listening to Nick Cannons jokes day in and out.
I don’t know if I should be proud of this or not, but from the middle of Season One, I watched every episode of Sex and the City on the original air night. The only time I was deaf, dumb and mute to anyone trying to talk to me was for 30 minutes straight for six years every Sunday night. To this day, I can watch any given episode with no problem, so looking forward to the movie somewhat explains how excited I will be on May 30th.
I was worried that the movie would be a bit predicable, but was relieved to read this quote from Sarah Jessica Parker as well as this review from The New York Daily News.
In the age of sequels, I wouldn’t even be mad at the girls if they came out with another movie in the future (look at me being greedy before the first is even released). If I had it my way, I would be able to see Samantha as the old woman in booty shorts trying to get into the club, Carrie needing her 10th hip replacement from still trying to wear heels at the age of 79 (why do I have a feeling this will be me), Charlotte rocking pearls, a Chanel tweed suit and the latest bag while play Bingo at a Nursing Home for WASPs, and Miranda as the happily married woman that after 50 years still has yet to be seen in public showing affection to her husband.
I’m hoping that the movie will not be for the general audience and but for the fans. What I mean by that is that in college I was able to turn anyone that would give me 30 minutes of their time into a fan of the show by making them watch any given episode where Samantha said things like, “Hi, I need something that will make a guy cum in his pants as soon as he sees me”.
While each episodes witty quotes and shock factor of seeing things like Miranda getting…ummm….remembrances from a good hand job literally ejaculated into her hair never got old, the thing that made me fall for the show was how much it touched on things that women, and men could relate to. Although the actual way that things occured may only happen in Sex and the City world (for instance the fact that Carrie owned all those Manolo’s on a writes salary) could be questioned, for the most part topics like friendemies and “He’s Just Not That Into You” put into perspective how in tune the show was and how it will be just as relevant as Cosmopolotians, Birkin Bags and Carrie’s signature name plate necklace were to the show.
Although I am against bootlegging, I can’t lie….I will have a bootleg copy of this movie after I see it in the theaters lol. Check out one of my favorite scenes between Aidan and Carrie.
