Sex and the City
Just watched a Daily Show interview with Michael Patrick King, executive producer of the TV show "Sex and the City" and writer of the latest SATC movie. In the new movie, the ladies all go to Abu Dhabi, where they'll ride around on camels and buy beaded slippers. Everyone was baffled about why they would do this, but King explained it all to Jon Stewart. His thought process was: Women don't have the money to go on vacation right now... so they're going to want to watch Carrie Bradshaw treat herself to the spa version of the Middle East, while not learning anything about the culture beyond "their shoes are cheap." No. That's not what I want to watch. The reason I loved the show to begin with was that Carrie is horrible and bad stuff happens to her. I want to watch a "Sex and the City" movie where Carrie's friends spend three hours insulting her and she cries. But this movie is going to make a zillion dollars and nobody will listen to me, even for art's sake.

when is this SATC bullshit going to ENNND? really, it just gives men another reason to rag on women for being cunty fags who are obsessed with shoes and getting married.
ReplyDeleteBut they already did that with Mexico in the last one!!! Plus, this will only induce more terrorist attacks as Arabs in Dubai get all offended and start a crusade against sex and america.
ReplyDeletei would enjoy the version where they get attacked by camels, but i guess i'm nostalgic for the days of slapstick humor. i would settle for emotional scarring as well.
ReplyDeletewhat's so hot about "sex and the desert," besides the obvious....
it's soooooooo decadent, apparently.
ReplyDelete@Kamilla: that's what the third movie will be about! while terrorists attack NYC, the girls hide in an underground bunker and CANNOT SHOP.
