To hate Sex and the City?

[GetOrfMoiLand]

OK, so I am about 3 years out of date on this but still. Just been chatting on another thread about how the bit when Carrie says 'and then I got to thinking...' and you see her type some inane crap.

HATE HATE HATE the film with a vengeance.

It's so fluffy and crap. I don't even get the excitement about the clothes.

Carrie - an explosion in a boutique.
Samantha - Stacey Slater's market stall clothes
Miranda - Next suits
Charlotte - Boden.

I'm with you on this....the film was the biggest load of rubbish. I never watched the series either.

Its fluff, yes, but I loved it.

I related to Carrie's quest for Mr Right when I was in my 20s and the show first started. Slightly pathetic to still be banging on about men when you're pushing 40, but hey...
Never really got the fashion thing, though. Salivating over £500 shoes - not really relevant to my life.

Loved Miranda's character. related to juggling new motherhood and a career.

Thought Samantha's character was quite groundbreaking - a women opushing 50 in tight dresses, having multiple orgasms on a nightly basis Good on her.

Charlotte jarred me a bit...

Overall, though, yes, YABU

you cannot judge if you haven't watched it fgs

Not at all, I have never liked it or understood it. But then I am not into couplehood or fashion-shopping so it's no more relevant to me than a programme about golf or coping with senile dementia.
What I have always hated is the idea that if you have a clitoris you 'get' this dumbfuck consumerist heteromonogamist crap and it is What Women Want.

Is this a Style & Beauty AIBU, or a political one? If the former, then YANBU - I really liked the clothes.

If the latter, then YADNBU! I found the supposed political-emancipation interpretation of SATC unconvincing. Found the whole pursuit of the "happily ever after" just too much to swallow. I know, I know, that this was why it was supposed to be "new" - ie. celebrating and depicting the real-life anxieties of modern urban woman, but come on. WASP-ish in the extreme, and mono-dimensional. Hardly revelatory.

The first series was all right, was actually quite funny.

And then it started believeing all the hype about the clothes obsession. I mean, in one episode Carrie was going to get evicted or whatever because she didn't have enough money for a downpayment, fathomed out she had spent $40,000 in Mnaolo Blahnik. However, she was saved in the nick of time by a friend who sold her engagement ring and gave her the money fgs.

TRIPE

I love it. Have all the episodes on dvd and the film.

I love the acting, the different characters, and I love the escapism.

if you don't like it, then don't watch it.

i like it, so i watch it. i don't like football, so i don't watch it.

I quite like it but find Carrie really annoying

Samantha's character is vile and the sex scenes are like porno acting. All that multiple orgasms at the drop of a hat. Gah!

(actually was pleasantly surprised about how nice Kim Cattral seemed in real life in that family tree programme).

I do like the Miranda character, but her dumbass of a husband had an affair in the film, and the upshot was that she realised in the end that it was her fault really because she had neglected him, the hotshot career woman that she is

Have a soft spot for Charlotte's husband, though, and the gay friend of Carrie.

btw, it is television, fiction, not a real life documentary you know

I know I shouldn't watch it, but I think it was the X Factor of its day, in that I realised it was crap but avidly watched every series!

I think it was very of its time. It looks dated now I think.

watched most of it, and film, its cheesy but its entertaining, like someone said i hate football and never watch it or read or waste time. dont like it dont watch it, simple

I know, I am taking it all too seriously, aren't I.

I am probably one of those loons who, if I ever saw Sarah jessica Parker in the street would probably go up to her and say 'HOW could you have forgiven him for standing you up, HOW, HOW!' and have to be taken away and be institutionalised.

And I cant wait for the next one as its all recessionista chic

whatever the feck that means

and certain people lose all their money......

still make me laugh, fantastic series, great writing

I watched one once at the insistence of a girlfriend. ONCE was more than enough.

i used to moan about it until i sat down and watched all the box sets one after another when on maternity leave

SEA I thught it wss brilliantly written the first series, all those pieces to camera, and was very funny.

Then it all went to rat shit and started being about sandals.

I love it. Dh has watched all the series and he loves it too.

So there.

Snap pinkjenny - DH rolls his eyes when I watch re-runs but secretly loves it!

It is fab and OP is being totally and utterly unreasonable!

Lol pinkjenny 'so there'.

My DP hates it as well. But then again he loves Ghost Whisperer and Charmed, fgs, so he can't be trusted, can he.

I love it

I do that judge something and say I hate it. Then I give it a go and usually really enjoy it hated Harry Potter until I saw it a year or so down the track - now I enjoy it

I hate it, one dimensional misogynistic crap. Pointless, shallow, mercenary bloody women faffing about twittering about shoes and waiting for Mr Right (well, Carrie anyway, and she was the main character).
