Sluts in the City
Sara Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon are the last people I think of when I hear word sex. Hell, they are walking anti-viagra.
It’s Sex in the City. How big can the spoilers be?
“in a just society Samantha has a God-given right to have as much sex as she wants with whomever she wants.”
“...infinitely morally superior to suffocating her beneath a burqa at the hands of an unjust ideology enabled by a misguided American media more concerned with offending other cultures than human rights.”
“director King now finds himself under fire from, among others, the USA Today for mocking religious beliefs and The Hollywood Reporter for being blatantly anti-Muslim,”
“had King used Mormons instead of Muslims all the criticism about his being anti-Muslim wouldve been replaced with phrases like, brave, bold, courageous and cutting edge? “
John Nolte replied to me (lol):
But it isn’t SLUTS IN THE CITY, you are as factually incorrect as those calling the film anti-Muslim. Three of the four are now married and Carrie’s entire plotline revolves around FIDELITY — coming to terms with strict, 100%, traditional FIDELITY — where something as small as a kiss is a betrayal.
I don’t know what the series was like. It only took a couple episodes to turn me off. But in both films at least three of the women have evolved into discovering that all that traditional stuff they laughed at in their youth is actually the key to happiness. And the only thing more moral than that, is having your characters EVOLVE into understanding that.
Yeah, Samantha might meet your definition, but any “slut” or actress playing one or director creating one deserves who has the guts to finally stand against Islamists and their media enablers is okay with me. “Sluts” in R-rated movies are the least of our problems.

I obviously disagreed with him. heh.
I rather enjoyed the “in your face” anti-Muslim bits, but the film disappointed for many other reasons . The opening scenes with the gay wedding and a song and dance by Liza Minelli was too over the top. The “I Am Woman” kerioke (sp?) with the 4 women was just not what I expected from these women—characters who were drawn as caricatures of themselves. Bottom line: there were just too many forced plotlines.
