Sex and the City Movie

I'm sure Samantha has had Spitzer as she seems to serve more cock than Lucky Chang's, but the others...... I doubt it.

That still wouldn't stop me...

I think you missed an option in the survey.

"Will go and see Sex and the City because I will learn something"

There's a reason most women like this series (although the movie was not as good as it could have been), perhaps more guys should pay some interest and learn. It might even spark some conversation with your wifes/GFs and who knows... Perhaps more...

Yeah, it's an okay show. I watched it a little with my girlfriend. Kind of funny, kind of annoying, kind of clever. I'll see it if my gf really wants to go see it, or if I can get in for free (which I can sometimes).

Oh Good Lord! More tour buses more sex starved bitches, more henpecked husbands more pussy whipped boyfriends cluttering the streets.

Each day you see them-they come in droves like unwanted cattle stampeding up Bleecker to Perry as they work their way up Perry Street to the Carrie Bradshaw home. They stand outside and stare at it wistfully and with weird sounds exiting their portholes (mouths).

Until about a month or so ago, they would gallop up the steps of the townhouse and have their picture taken. Many would go up and touch the door and often the doorknob and have their picture taken thusly. Some stood on the steps, some sat on them while having pictures taken. Finally they were stopped. The owner of the place now has a chain across the bottom of the steps with a sign notifying people that they will be charged with trespassing if they set foot on the steps. The sign also mentions that there is a surveilance camera watching every move. Now the tourists stand across the street in front of the building labeled "The McKinley" (most likely built and named at about the time that President William "Billy The Bulge" McKinley was assassinated back in 1901-he was called The Bulge, due to his rather large scarf [he felt chilled easily and kept a scarf wrapped around his genitals]). At any rate...they now snap pictures of the Bradshaw place. Some even stand in front of the now chained off steps.

Comedy moments come in when an uninformed tourist-not part of the groups-stops in front of #84 Perry, convinced that it is the right place. People, please, was there a 5 story apartment house next to Bradshaw's home? No. Did Bradshaw reside in a townhouse with a wide bannister outside? No. Please note she was in a place with a much narrower bannister.

And who can forget the evening, when as twilight came upon us, a confused woman stared at the windows and moaned to the guide that it looked different inside than she remembered it from the show. She began weeping as the guide explained that the program had outside shots of the building and never was actually filmed inside of it.


Then there is group 2 of tourists- they come traipsing down 4th street along with a couple of filmers. Yes, there are two men, filming this insanity. They then move down Perry towards Bleecker, stopping of course in front of the Bradshaw home.

The ones who come up from Bleecker usually start out in Bleecker Street Park and receive a throat scraping from an overly sweet, undercooked cupcake from Magnolia Bakery (at Bleecker and 11th). Please note, Magnolia was for some 20 years Bird Jungle and had birds flying around inside and crapping their guts out (makes the thought of a cupcake sickening doesn't it?).

A couple of times as I have approached Bleecker, I've heard their guide tells them that they have 20 minutes to do some shopping along Bleecker n the overpriced stores-Olive & Bettes, Marc Jacobs (there are 3 to choose from) Cynthia Rowley, Coach, Ralph Lauren (2 or 3 to choose from), Brunello Cucinelli-where for a mere 800.00 you can purchase a pair of Cargo Pants, or a 3,200.00 weekend bag (with leather of course), after which they are to be back and ready to reboard the bus. Where they go after that, I neither know nor care.

Regarding Sarah Jessica Parker-I wish her well. She's a very nice woman (she and Matthew were living in the area as recently as a year ago-not sure if they still dwell there). Polite and well mannered I do not hold the antics of the tourists as being her fault. No, those (antics) come from and are encouraged by greed frenzied tour organizers

(as one can tell from the above review, I have no intention of seeing Sex In The City. Hell, I didn't even care for the television program-perhaps due to its incredible inaccuracies.)

I thought it was a comedy, not a documentary...

I liked the show OK. My boy is a S&TC fanatic; he will most likely demand that I see it with him.

Well said.

Northland, thank you for the account of the Sex and the City pilgrims and their pathetic delusions.

Yeah, that is pathetic. The owner of that property should keep a supply of water balloons ready to bombard the idiots who want to hang out on the stoop and fantasize.

Carrie was a full-time writer/columnist. She had her own weekly column in a newspaper so one would think she could afford her apartment and shoes. Now, she was far from rich and did experience a few notable instances when her shoe fetish was shown to put her beyond her means. Also, she couldn't hang with millionaire Big in the money department so she just made a decent living for New York and was able to keep herself in a lifestyle she enjoyed.

Samantha- Owned her own PR Firm...as a CEO and dealing with lots of big wigs like the wealthy Richard Wright. She was a millionaire herself. She had money.

Miranda - Was a partner at a prominent law firm and could afford her apartment, a housekeeper/nanny to help her manage her life.

Charlotte - Was the Curator of a Prestigeous Art Gallery in Manhattan...a very coveted position. There was an episode when she passed the torch on to a lucky girl when she wanted to concentrate on becoming a mother with Tre'. She got the Pre-War Palace in the divorce and had to fight Bunny McDougal to get it. Also wisely, Charlotte got Bunny to put a cool million to her in the pre-nup if She and Tre' divorced so she was able to afford her lifestyle too.

I dont' really watch that much TV. I hang out at the movie theater a lot. Always have since I was a kid. Those women are hot and have some crazy times in their make believe life. I'll splurge and go and see it for sure.

It'll probably be much better than the show is on regular TV.

I really liked the TV show when it first came on, but I began to tire of it by about the 5th season. I think the movie is a cool idea, but I don't have the "Carrie Fever" that some of my friends have. I will check it out on DVD most likely as I am not busting a gut to see it.

I'm gay so I didn't vote, but I did not watch the show and have no interest in the movie. Unless SarahJP is pulling a Handsome Cab.

Not quite....

In New York, landlords want to see you earning 40 times your monthly rent. If Carrie's rent is $3,500 a month, then that's $100,000 a year, minimum. Salaries for non-syndicated columnists top out around $65,000 according to Salary.com. It really isn't enough to stay afloat in Manhattan. Again though, she may have had rent control or stabilization. That might get her a break.

No way Charlotte can live on the $70k-$100k income she gets from that million. That classic six will kill her in real estate taxes alone, not to mention $35k a year in maintenance charges and the income taxes. Charlotte really is screwed unless she has a trust fund somewhere we don't know about.

Miranda has the most sensible apartment of the four and makes enough to afford it, so no issues there. Same with Samantha though her Meatpacking address is superhot these days and no way she has rent control so she's likely paying the most out of the three who rent.

I'm not going to see it. Was never that into the TV show.

I was going to go see it with someone but she's busy whoring herself out to her sugar daddy.

I'm going to see it tomorrow with my friends who went to New York trip and yes we did the Sex and the City tour!
