Sex and the City 2 divides like no other ( "Taliban... Al Qaida")
Canwest News Service ^ | June 2, 2010 | Jay Stone

Rarely has a movie inspired a debate as caustic — or as sexually divisive — as Sex and the City 2, a comedy of fashion and privilege that’s being dismissed by critics as shallow and ridiculous, and embraced by fans as a female fantasy that men cannot understand.

Male and female audiences are often separated by subject matter, but Sex and the City 2 is doing more than that: When I saw it on a recent weeknight, I was one of two men in the audience of some 100 women. Warner Bros.’ exit polls show 90 per cent of the opening weekend audience was female, compared to 83 per cent for the first Sex and the City film.

Uh oh, they have been spotted by the Muzzies. Wait until the Muzzies find out one of these girls is a lesbian.

I recall reading a newspaper article (likely in the New York Post) when the TV version of the show concluded. The article mentioned various women who moved to New York thinking the show was realistic.

That's nothing new. Here's a story about a woman who traveled all the way from Japan to find the "ransom" money buried in the movie Fargo and died of exposure

I hear you. I confess that I do like “House”, but I really detest the shows that involve “talent”, like “American Idol”. On the other hand, I like “Chopped” and “Iron Chef America” on Food Network. I’ll also watch “Godfather” and “Godfather II” as often as they play, even with commercials.

I do have one guilty pleasure and that is the Gene Simmons show (from the rock band KISS). I especially enjoy how he loves to capitalize on his fame. Plus, he loves America and supports the military.

I’ve seen the commercials for his show. He’s surprisingly funny. I also respect him for his support of our military.

Sex In the City is about four gay men trapped in women’s bodies.

Made by gay men, for women. And they wonder why most regular guys don’t like it?

I watched about 5 minutes of it once when I was TDY. The topic was “f*ck buddies”. That was enough.


Yes, it is pure sh*te, horrible stuff

What the hell were they thinking?

Make a movie about 4 slutty american girls traveling to Middle east?

Did they think to include a scene where they are forced into a burka or raped and decapitated for associating with men?

More power to women. I have no problem that 90% of the audience for Star Trek movies is male.
