As much as it pains me, I am going to amend my Sex and the City prediction. I realized today watching dozens of morons parading down Perry Street to have their picture taken outside the brownstone used as Carrie's Upper Eastside home (I know, there are plenty of brownstones up there too, I don't understand it either) that this thing will be huge.
If you ever want to have fun, just hang on a corner at Perry Street and talk shit when these bozos go by.
For example:
"And down the street is where Charlotte refused to blow that guy."
"Just to your left is where that dude ate Miranda's ass."
"Here's where Carrie got caught cheating."
Seriously, perhaps SATC would have left a better taste if she'd ended up with Aiden instead of Big. Face it girls, the show was not some groundbreaking new feminism. It was traditional all the way. Three of the four characters end up married, two have kids. Your lead holds out for the rich shit who can't commit. Only the ho was true throughout the series. Hopefully James Remar will be in the movie but as his Warriors character Ajax and he'll make a few popsicles.

Sex AND The City.
Got it.
This post hit a nerve. I'm sorry.
I've got the childless career girl midlife issues.
First of all, I just don't get the popularity of the name Aiden. It's a strange sound. I don't know any Aidens. I never met an Aiden, and yet it tops the popularity charts then and now.

Aids. Aiden. Just a strange name in a host of similar sounding names. Braydon, Jaydon, Kaydon...Maybe it just sounds good with the majority of last names? Or...maybe it has something to do with SATC?
I don't get the hype over SATC and never did re: 'Feminism'.
The thinly veiled hatred which lurks in the heart of wrinkled prune old-school feminism will always attempt to reinvent and redefine itself for the next generation of immature young women trying to find/define themselves in our power/position/ possession focused society. The beast of "Feminism" which seems contrary to the word itself, will never replace the deepest desire in the heart of the average girl~ to be genuinely loved by one man who will give her children. Just a generalization. So the story line of SATC would eventually come full circle to the Magic Kingdom ( which, by the way, has a gay/lesbian 'agenda' going on these days). Feminism is the ugly step mother or the witch with the poison apple, and every nubile maiden who desires marriage and children ought beware of the heartache of buying into SATC.
Rambler got it wrong! SATC was about intellectuals! Free thinking, genuine Manhattan intellegentsia and their struggle to make peace with rampant consumerism.
Uh, not buying that.
