To ask your opinions on Sex and the City?

I just remembered something: SJP's scream is one of the most grating sounds known to man. I looked on Youtube for a clip but couldn't find one, so you'll have to take my word for it. It should be classified as an offensive weapon. SO SHRILL. 😖

I can think of one redeeming feature - if my memory serves me correctly, he was the one who introduced the phrase 'he's just not that into you' to the world. 😄

Other than that, though, not the most likeable character. I seem to remember him disparaging Carrie for drinking a strawberry milkshake because strawberry was 'for little girls'. She got her own back with the whole scrunchie thing, though. 😄

Same here! He was so absolutely truly awful - non stop tedious jokes, awkward, mean, emotional fuckwittage. No redeeming features at all

Just the sight of Berger or the poor bloke that played him sends my blood pressure through the roof.
I loathe that guy though the episode after he dumps carrie by post it she has the most beautiful hair - I rewatch that one for hair envy

In the scene where Carrie tells Sam about her affair with Big and asks ‘aren’t you going to judge me, just a little bit?’ Sam replies ‘Not my style’ and winks. And with that wink, she steals the entire scene (which should have been all about Carrie). Kim is a brilliant actor.

Also (reminded by a PP and a naked Miranda / Aiden towel situ): ‘bullshit bagels’. Sums Carrie up.

Ah right! 😊

It was absolute shite and dreadful. Carrie was so up her on a£de - a writer / Journalist - how? Only good character ends up shagging a bloke to get back at another bloke and that's empowering - how? Another one is married for a couple of weeks and ends up with Prime Real Estate as Divorce settlement. I saw the Movie - my poor eyes. How on Earth did the Script get through any Writers' edit? The blatant racism, disrespect, and idea that wangling an anorexic ankle would save the day?

I'm just watching it for the Elvis guy! He's dreamy...😂😍

The second film was terrible because of what they did to Samantha. I loved the first.

I still like the old show but there were episodes I found cringeworthy when I originally watched them and still do (like when Samantha dated that black guy) and then other episodes I found fine which really aged badly: the episode with the trans women, where Charlotte dates an uncircumcised man and when Carrie dates a bisexual man. For such a progressive show those episodes were really quite regressive!

I actually really like AJLT.

It's on ITV X at the moment. I've watched the first episode tonight and I couldn't get into it at all.

Where can you watch it?

I could not have put it better myself.

Having said that, in the few I did see Kim Cattrall acted the other three off the screen in every episode.

Decided to to be The Carrie Diaries a go inspired by this thread.

I love the dress with the big polka dots that she wore in Paris

Carrie had such beautiful, tailored coats in Paris, the sort of coats you just don't see any more. She'd never have been caught dead in a shapeless puffa jacket!

I loved it, still love re-watching it, Carrie is such a selfish whiny PIA though isn't she! I loved the first film, hated the second and have never watched the reboot, I won't ever watch it.

I would love to give the Carrie diaries a look though ,I keep forgetting about that one

Yes and in season 1 of Emily in Paris, there was a very clever hidden message in Emily's advertising campaign slogan
" Men don't have vaginas". The opposite of woke!😂

I loved when she worked out how much she spent on shoes😂

Carrie was more devastated when Big didn't turn up to their wedding than she was when he DIED IN HER ARMS.

I loved the first few series. They were really special, relatable, funny and uplifting. Obviously they are dated now, as viewed through “woke” eyes.
I went off it when it became all about glamour and designer labels. I much preferred it when they wore more vintage clothes like in the first few series. It’s still my comfort show for when I feel really down. It always cheers me up.

I loved it at the time, and still re-watch it from time to time. Although it is more of a hate watch now. Carrie is a dreadful human being. And I was really cross when she told Aiden to go and help Miranda when she hurt herself and was naked on the bathroom floor instead of going herself.

And then when she insisted on approaching Natasha when she was having lunch so she could unburden herself about cheating with her husband.

I didn't mind the others too much, but can't stand any of them in And Just Like That. And the films were abysmal, especially the second one. It was the worst film I've ever seen, and I've watched The Human Centipede.

It does seem that SATC hasn't aged that well, but it is what it is, and I can relate to it more than I can with AJLT, which seems determined to go over the top with "wokeness". I don't know anyone who acts like they do, constantly trying to make sure they say and do the "politically correct" thing all the time and making a song and dance out of it.

I'm not surprised Samantha moved away, she probably found them all to be hard work!
