There's no chance of me ever seeing this movie. My wife and her friends used to watch (my wife being only an occasional viewer) and I picked up just enough info about the pre-Desperate Housewives women to know they were completely unlikeable "divas" as Massa calls them.

The only thing standing between me and precious TV time was a group of women who just HAD to fucking watch the last episode. I experienced it, just to see what the fuss was all about, and it left me broken. SON OF A BITCH! Why in God's green earth did they make this film? Even some people who liked the show hate the movie. Thanks for the review Massawyrm, I only wish you included massive spoilage so I could arm myself with the crystal skull needed to ward off this film's fans when I get to bitching about why it sucks.

Is there any way you could write a review of something and mention that every Thursday should be "Steak and a Blowjob Day?" Apparently, she'll listen to you.

The director and cast stand in front of the audience, making small talk about the film. All of a sudden, SJP herself seems seized with some sort of evil spirit, she speaks in tongues. Her aged compatriots join in her madness. The evil SheDemon then commands all the women in the audience to seal the "chamber" and to offer a sacrifice to them. She demands every man's scrotum, so that they may be silent during their "masterpiece". Chaos ensues, the poor men lie in freshly castrated heaps, and as an added bonus SJP uses her Hulk arms to rip off the director's genetalia. As all of the women chant in sinster sounding Latin, the Head Bitch herself screams, "BLOOD ORGY!" Guys, prevent them from making a sequel and refuse to take your significant other to see this film. Do it for the good of the nation, and the good of your reproductive organs.

Nail on the head "They’re not flirty and single because it’s so hard to find a good man. It’s because they’re all completely self-obsessed, neurotic, high maintenance divas".

Seriously I've heard female mates throw around the words 'feminist' and 'girl power' around with this pile of shit show. If this is feminism exerting itself then god damn get the whole lot of them back in the kitchen quick. Admittedly it's introduced a lot of nice impressionable girls that being a slut and shagging around is acceptable since ironically all men are bastards, so i guess it balances out.

Since the movie seems to have taken the risque element out of the equation though then what ungodly purpose does it serve. Bah.

You like S&TC if you can sort of imagine being one of those characters: female, rich, hot, lotsa sex, shopping, etc. Not that you ARE female, rich, hot, et al, just that, if you got a couple of breaks, that could be you.

Now, if you CAN'T imagine being one of those characters (say you're male, straight, country lovin', non-American, religious, nice, etc.), you see the show through a very different lens, and what you see is shallow, self-indulgent, possibly horrifying.

I was kind of hoping the movie wouldn't suck. Not that I'm going to watch it, mind you. But guys have been damn lucky with some fine genre films of the past eight years and it's a real shame that all women get is 27 Dresses. Why are romantic comedies and other films aimed at women so bad?

S&TC is basically an empowerment fantasy. If you find these women's use of power anything beyond trivially appealing, you probably shouldn't be trusted with any power yourself.

that refer to the actresses in this show as 'TRANNIES', 'HAGS' and SJP as 'HORSE-FACED' and 'FUCKING UGLY AS FUCK' are completely and utterly correct. Why women buy this shit and are convinced SJP is some kind of 'style icon' is beyond me, I mean if your girlfriend turned up wearing a fucking tutu with a bow-tie and waistcoat she'd be heckled right there in the street. But for some reason women think that the TINY CRONE-FACED WART HEADED BULIMIC TITLESS NEEDY SHALLOW BITCH looks good!?!

This show and movie is like the tub of ice cream that some women eat after they get dumped or when the guy doesn't call. It caters to their shallow, materialistic, man-hating/needing urges, and convinces them that they are empowered and have strength in their mutual shallow numbers. And it also convinces ugly horse-faced women that they are in fact attractive to men.

If you ever see a woman order a cosmo at a bar, you can be sure she lives and dies by this show, and you can read her like a book from there.

Sex and the City is vaguely feminist...

in that third wave feminist kind of way. You know, the feminism that comodifies everything so it can be sold back to women as empowering when in reality it's just reinforcing the worst stereotypes of women.

by youhatestarwars
May 28th, 2008

Of course the women aren't going to be flawless male fantasies. They never were. Wish-fulfilment doesn't equate with fiction. Hell, neither does real life. I like all the women to varying degrees (except Sarah Jessica Parkers's character who is a fucking retard), But it's probably fair to say that this movie will resemble the latter-day fag-hag fashion show superbitchfest that it became, rather than the well-written, relevant and poignant human stories it once showcased.

No reason to be made other than to appease the fans of the show who for some reason felt there was a need to keep the "story" going. Haven't seen the movie. Won't see the movie. But my wife watched the show and I saw enough of it to agree (for once) with Massa that these women are all terrible people who deserve every ounce of unhappiness the writers put on them. Who wants to sit around and watch a bunch of people they don't like?

Yeah it is quite bad that realistic/strong female characters are a lot rarer than male ones, without them being reduced to being drippy love/sex objects or foil for the guys to drive the plot along.

Which gives them all the more reason to not put up with this trash really.

The vitriol in this talkback is ... ah, hell, not surprising in the least I guess. The headline is, as has been said, completely tasteless, and the comments here are the most bitter reactions to a 'chick flick' I think I've ever seen. I'm a straight male, and I liked the show, for whatever that's worth. For me, the show always seemed to like and treat its male characters far more fairly than a show like--oh, I don't know--Entourage, for example, treats it's female characters. Sex and the City is less shallow than Entourage, but I guess far more threatening. Wonder why that is.

There's nothing threatening about Sex and the City. The show's about four selfish, cock-crazed neurotics whining about their problems getting cock. It pretends its characters are empowered when in reality they're servile and whiny and build their entire lives around staring at their navels and trolling for cock. The only threatening thing about it is that this when this kind of shallow, narcissistic work is held up as being somehow 'good', then I worry about our civilization. Its fans are people who like having their most shallow, self-absorbed traits legitimized by the four gay men dressed like women on S&TC. You're only defense for it is that men on the show are treated better than women on Entourage? So fucking what? I don't hate how men are treated on S&TC, I hate the characters on S&TC, period. For the record, I don't like Entourage for much the same reason, but I think that show takes itself less seriously than S&TC. The writing is charmless and without insight, yet it treats the most obvious realizations as great profundities that only horse-face could have come up with. It's pretentious in that it dresses up its narcissism and shallowness with a vocabulary that believes it's being deep and insightful. It's anti-romantic.

1. "Add to that the fact that it is extraordinarily light on plot to begin with and you might understand why I was beginning to crave the cold taste of steel from the barrel of a colt about 45 minutes in."

2. "Montage after montage after montage with each and every problem finding a solution by the fabulously dressed four getting together, squee-ing in a pitch that will deafen dogs and neuter most of the males in the audience, and realizing that friendship will get you through any bout of rampant self-absorption."

3. "Oh, so this is what happens when you leave Bratz dolls in the sun too long." Ouch.

4. "I pity any man who walks into this with his girl thinking he is in for just the usual hour and a half ass pounding only to discover that instead he’s entered a two and a half hour oubliette from which there is no escape.

Instant classic. Thank God for this site.

it shouldn't be anything like Sex and the City. Sex and the City pretended that these shallow characters had depth and were empowered without actually showing us why.

On the other hand there's a show like Seinfeld, which had shallow characters, but made it clear they were awful people. They were not heroes. Instead, the audience is supposed to recognize their own failings in the characters without putting the same characters on a pedestal.

But what do I know. I can count the number I've times I've seen Sex and the City on one hand.

why are there no quality genre films for women? Is it because Hollywood is controlled by men so they pump out caricatures of what they believe women want to see? Genre films for men are widely regarded as just plain good movies (see Batman Begins or Spiderman 2), but it is not the same for women. Even when romantic comedies are positively reviewed, they are usually reviewed as "good for a romantic comedy" rather than just a plain good movie. It's a real shame.
Yeah, Julia Roberts and Gere

I was just about to mention Seinfeld as an example of a comedy starring self-absorbed horrible people which is actually FUNNY, and you said it first. Excellent point.

The key difference between the shows, other than the respective talent involved, was that Seinfeld never never never never EVER took itself seriously.

Sex and the City the movie about a bunch of charitable prostitutes who go around sleeping with any man/thing with a penis. The 4 characters perpetuate the idea that being a whore is totally cool while the actresses who play these characters, bar the one that plays the haggy ultra-prostitute, have normal married lives outside this suedo fiction. The film and the show is a display of how pathetic or bad the culture of the US has gotten in some areas. This is not to say anything bad about the US at all. I think that folks living in the mid-west would happily contest that neither the show or the film properly represent the true cultural value of the US and they are right. No, what Sex and the City represents culturally are the very worst elements of a capitalistic system that has gone mad and is without proper boundries and regulations. These women live incredibly shallow lives, the show never mentions the struggles of many women who live in poverty or lack of support or even the struggles of single mothers. No, this series is all about the collection of over-priced sweatshop made shoes and clothing and whoring yourself out so much that you eventually become a valueless, meaningless, pathetic object. Seriously would any men here even consider one second the thought of marrying or getting into a long-term relationship with any of these protitutes?

I'd agree with Emu, though. Guys get much better/realistic roles in SATC than women do in Entourage.

it's damn lucky that Sex and the City is opening up a weekend after its debut. That should probably help its already impressive box office. I don't think the audiencea for these films overlap much. Warner Brothers should have been thinking about this when they decided to release Speed Racer. In a summer this long they could have figured out a weekend that gave Speed Racer a little more breathing room.

Flithy tarts like this brought new meaning to the term "Grudge Fuck" Really, this show legitimized whoreism...and gave us guys an entirely new type of barfly to shag...one we truely could not give a flying fuck about nor really could never feel the least bit of emotion for outside the need to drop seed deep within their self centered wombs/bowels.

This show, while vaguely entertaining in small doses years ago, is incredibly annoying now--and Kim Cattrell's hot body is not enough to make me watch it. I will be seeing Indy for the first time this weekend, rather than "Horseface, Her Shoes, Her Bitchy Friends and Their Mom in the City".

Speed Racer could have thrived on the "I've seen Indy already, and I'm not going to see that Sex and the City shit" market. I think the reason Warner released it so early was the IMAX window of opportunity, since Kung Fu Panda is being released in IMAX as well and they wanted a clear month or so of lead time before that monstrosity dropped. Still, these bitches could have given Speed Racer the audience it deserved. If only...

Life in highkly urban environments is vastly different than life int he midwest. My friends in Arkansas got married when they were 19 and have kids already in puberty. I am 35, happily unmarried in San Francisco. We all choose differently. Who are you to say thatw hat goes on in NYC doesnt represent the country? It sure the hell does...just a different part of the country. One thing both parts have in common is they think it's all about me, me, me. You folks in the midwest can't imagine, for example, some gay folks wanting to get married and live happily ever after...it's not part of your life. But it is part of other people's lives. And I agree the sad hags in SATC are pretty shallow, but no more so than folks in the midwest in rural environments. People are people. They will grow old too and find their happiness where they can, and just because you have kids right out of high school doesn't make you any wiser in life.

Develop the habit of keeping paperbacks in your back pocket. Then, if you find yourself dragged to something like this, pretend you have the runs, getting up every ten minutes to go to the bathroom, spending fifteen minutes there. And take the time to read.

Note: don't do this trick for the second or third date, and don't do it too often. Also, your best bet is to continue having problems for the rest of the night, even after you've left the theater.

last time I checked, there were cities in the Midwest, many with thriving gay scenes. They don't call it Boys Town in Chicago for nothin'! Just correcting another generalization. Not everyone in the midwest is a Bible thumping farmer.

And I saw one episode of this show and never wanted to again. The 'insights' of the voiceover were laughable, especially since the writers seemed to think that what they were seeing was all deep and insightful about relationships. Instead, it's just shallow, narcissistic bullshit. I will never see this movie.

When you went in, you were planning to write a review like this, right? I mean I'm not gonna lie, I can understand having a weird fascination going to movies that you know you shouldn't, and of course I watch alot of DTV movies. But most of the time I don't bother to review them because yep, turns out it was crap like you'd expect.

But come on, BRATZ, MEET THE SPARTANS, SEX AND THE CITY... if you honestly went in expecting to like these movies that would mean you were either insane or brain damaged or something. And then you write these gleefully negative reviews acting like you're shocked and surprised that a movie designed for little kids or for women who watch a TV show that you hate turns out to be exactly what you and everyone else already knew it was. Climaxing with this review where you not only go over the top in describing how much you hate it, but you actually describe yourself as BRUTALLY RAPING THE MOVIE, and then proudly take credit for that. "Ha ha ha, I am a rapist. Get it?"

I know you're not just some dumbass so I'm curious what your thoughts are on this. I know you do like some "chick flicks" because I've scratched my head at those reviews too, but I don't buy your pre-emptive brush off of the "why did you go see this?" question. I mean I hate this show too, that's why I wouldn't go see the movie that is made to follow up on that show. Or if I did I wouldn't be surprised when I hated it. (to say nothing of raping it.)

And everyone assumes you were assigned these movies out of some cruelty but it's my impression that you choose which movies to review. So I guess my question is if you know what exactly drives you to go see all this fucking garbage if it is so upsetting to you and drives you to commit unspeakable metaphorical acts.

It helps us all cope with the fact that this film exists. Oh, and as for the "controversial" headline, I thought it was funny because it was concerning the movie. If it were concerning a person, it wouldn't be so cool; but the movie deserves it. Plus, you get a funny image...a man trying to fuck celluloid. It's a win/win situation.

It's not that adult women are taking interest in sex, it's the way that they represent those that they are supposedly against...shallow, stupid people who fuck and run at the first sign of commitment. They complain about their male counterparts, because in the end it's not fun being left alone to cool your bed instead of having some post sex discussion about how "fabulous" you both were. It's supposed to be empowering, but it turns out to be an egomaniacal and cheapening experience.

Am I surprised it's God-awful? Absolutely not. The show was shallow, self-centered and pseudo-intelligent (like the characters within it). I can't fault most women that they followed it. Sadly their options tend to be limited on the tube and in theaters.

BTW, I agree with the dap given to The Apartment. Great, great film and funny.

And Entourage is the male SATC. Shallow, self-centered, dumb and pointless. I don't watch either show.

I hate chick flicks/shows but the S&TC show was funny as I recall when it had the novelty of being an R rated TV comedy(first couple seasons) but you can't take it seriously.The women have the sexual MO of their gay male writers so it's a waste of time to "hate these women". They're gay men telling stories vicariously through women. Anyway, I did see the final show(friend's wife is a fan and I was forced into it) and they wrapped it up...I see no reason for this especially now that there's no young member of the quartet.

Thank God my wife has no desire to see this shit. Her and her sister are big on romantic comedies (much to my dismay) but she's never liked this shit. She actually told her sister to skip it and go see Indy so I don't think I'll have to sit through it ever. Serisouly though Massa... Fucking gold. I wish they would show some of these quotes on the trailer. The number 1 romantic comedy of the summer has the critics saying..."This is what happens when you leave Bratz in the sun for forty years."

...the thing that always really drove me nuts was that all the dialogue seemed to be delivered in exactly the same cadence. I didn't mind the shallow, self-absorbed, mean-spirited lead characters, or the self-congratulatory pseudo-insightful tenor of the writing, because, hey, there's a lot worse on a lot of other shows. But every sentence I ever heard uttered by any character on S&TC came out at exactly the same speed with exactly the same rhythm. It gave me a headache.

To be honest, I walk into every movie wanting to like it. I'm a movie lover, pure and simple, which is why you often finding yourself scratching your head at why I even bothered, let alone liked, watching certain movies. I go to them because I know few others in our profession will give them the chance. Too much Pre-hate out there. I'm not gonna say Bratz sucked until I sat through it.

The upside is that if it is particularly awful - it might lend itself to an entertaining review, which people like to see every once in a while. People love blood in the water. But to think that I only pick limping horses to shoot, I would have to point out several of my unpopular positive positions on films other people sniped. Like The Shaggy Dog. Or Just Like Heaven. Or Stick It. I LOVE it when a movie that looks awful turns out to surprise and even delight me.

But honestly, I had ZERO idea how long this was. had I known, I might not have been so brave.

I know the nature of the title is supposed to illustrate how you like the film, but "bleeding and crying"? Not okay. Seriously. Even if the movie is awful and too long, you shouldn't joke about that shit. Not fucking okay, okay? Not okay. I am about as offended as I could possibly be right now.

I'm pretty sure when people see a review up by you they clicky. It's nice to read a review with some heart behind it (Good or bad) instead of the regular regurgitated mess that most people write.
Of course it's "okay"
by KanekoFan
May 28th, 2008
03:11:15 PM
People say offensive things to express their opinions. We all know that Massa is not advocating violent sexual assault. The idea that there's some social obligation not to publicly joke about things that relate to pain and suffering is related to the attitudes that make the victims of violent sexual assault feel too ashamed to come forward and see their attackers brought to justice. Speaking out against this headline is indirectly advocating the silence and shame of rape survivors.

I mean, I get that Massa purportedly wants to love a movie going into it. But Vern's point is well taken. Massa hated the show. The movie is a cinematic follow-up to the show. There was no way, NO WAY that this movie was ever going to appeal to him. And if in some hell-frozen world it DID, then it actually failed in its purpose. Because it's meant to be a cinematic follow-up to the show. And he didn't do himself any favors with that shitty, mysoginist article title. You know what's hilarious? Massa talks about Episode I apologists or Star Trek apologists in his article, and some of you are being Massa apologists. I dig Massa most of the time. But this review was unnecessary and pandering. Bad form.

If this was some sort of anti-rape activist campaign where violent imagery was meant to provoke a reaction and desire for change, it would deserve more consideration. On a review for the Sex and the City movie, a movie inherently FOR and ABOUT women, referencing violent rape does not get you a reward for "indirect advocation." Rape is not a coy headline.
One of this site's not-so underlying themes
by Boromir
May 28th, 2008
03:22:19 PM
has always been the self-perceived inadequacies of the boys who post here. Sometimes I've found it amusing; other times I wonder how it is that some men manage to maintain the will to live when they're so deep inside this stiflingly inhibitive locker-room-cum-cave environment they create for themselves.

Perhaps the fact that I'm a gay bear makes me just as prone to nausea over lowest-common-denominator male chest thumping behavior as I am over self-absorbed, neurotic, "empowered" women on shows like SatC. Perhaps--but I doubt it. As Vern has pointed out, thoughtful discussion is just more interesting than shallow neuroses-induced idiocy.

You're justified. This movie was only made to appeal to the people that watched nearly every episode of this show. I'm a 27 year old, straight male, and I've seen this series beginning to end. I watched through all the DVD's with my girlfriend over the course of a year or so, and must say that the outside perceptions of this show from people who have either not seen it, or seen only a handfull of episodes, are dead on. What's more, is some of the women that religeously watch this show, agree. My lady and I spent the whole of this series talking shit about the way these whored out female leads choose to live their fictional lives. How trashy they were, how terrible they treat other human beings, the ridiculous amount of money they spend on shit that looks too horrifying to be "fashionable". The payoff of this entire series was the last season. Not because it was "last", but because these women were FINALLY having to deal with some real shit, and every one of them was starting to resemble a vessel that might have a hint of a human spirit within. From breast cancer to barren vaginas, the 6th season starts to pull some emotional punches. Sure, they're cliche and predictable at times, but seeing these wound up whores finally start to simmer down and deal with the fact they're full blown adults works in the long haul. That's where this movie comes in. Anyone who watched that ENTIRE show, including the last 6 or so episodes, is fucking curious as to where things lead next. It's not as if we're proud of having to go and see this movie(god forbid at 2 hours and 30 minutes). The thing is we HAVE to know what happens. Whether we rent it or see it in theatres, the curiosity of whether or not the train wreck was cleaned up is too high. I'm a straight male...and I'm admitting to wanting to see this movie. Sorry, guys.

It's not rocket science. When a movie based on a TV show comes out features the cast members from the show and produced by the people behind the show, chances are about 100% that if you hate the fucking show you'll hate the fucking movie.

There's nothing threatening about them, and yet everyone on this talkback is so defensive, as if you have to attack the show to prove you're a big man.

And I haven't seen a ton of episodes, but I have seen enough to know that they're no more sexually promiscuous than alot of tv characters. They have alot of sex, but the only one is who fucking people off the street is Kim Catrall's character. Kristin Davis' is the epitome of the prude. I actually admire how upfront the show is about sex, wish more shows had the figurative balls to follow suit. I found the show to be fairly entertaining, if shallow. It is not on my top 20 list of favorite shows or anything.

As for them being whores, I don't think i need to point out the obvious double standard here. Men can have casual sex till the cows come home and it's fine, but when women do it, they're branded sluts? or cougars? How many single, 40-year-old men would turn down sex with a good looking woman 10 years younger than him? Not many.

I just don't get the hate for something so innocuous. Especially when there is so much love on this site for its male counterpart, Entourage.

What you never realised that Sex and the City is one of the most unashamedly sexist shows ever made? That it's about a bunch of vapid idiots who are psychologically incapable of forming coherent adult relationships with members of the opposite sex, and that it shows all men as either morons, sex-fiends, or emotional cripples while villifying them at the same time as heroising the lead 4 women, who ultimately are as bad, if not worse than any of them? Maybe you missed that amidst the tampon throwing and shoes.

I can count on one hand the number of times I've commented in the last two years (although I check the board everyday)Vern - THANK YOU for a direct post that asked the exact question I wanted to ask Massawyrm! I appreciate SaTC but, it was the last movie that I'd expect to see a review of here. Massawyrm, I know you like movies, even "chick flicks" and all that BS but, didn't you even think for a second how your "expected" and humorous review of SaTC would bring out the underbelly of straight male geekness at it's worst? The headline of your post doesn't offend me because it's not a personal attack on any one person but, the geek squad is launching personal and horrendous attacks against the actresses... specifically SJP. It's not cool. I doubt there is a website run by chicks exploiting how "long in the tooth" and utterly unrealistic Harrison Ford is as Indy. I usually like your reviews but this one was not cool Dude.
