It looks like they are making a SATC movie (http://www.smh.com.au/news/film/carrie-and-pals-back-together-for-movie/2007/09/22/1189881834903.html). I'm a huge fan of the series - rewatching it now - but I just can't see it working as a movie.

Apparently it picks up where the series left off. Hmmm, I'll probably go see it anyway. :D

I have never seen an episode (in full) of Sex & The City. I saw the odd minute here or there but what I saw of it never really appealed to me. Maybe if I actually saw it from the very start I would have felt differently though.

Looks like Kim Cattral finally got her act together then, as I know she was the one whose shenanigans put the project on hold last time. Stories said she wanted script priorities or something, and more money. I'm glad they're getting sorted out though - the film could be a lot of fun - if it's done right!

I think I've seen every episode of Sex & the City, but I actually thought Sarah Jessica Parker was extremely annoying! However, I think a movie version would be great!

I loved the show and am looking forward to the movie. I really want the shoebox set of all the series but can't justify £100+ for them!!

25th September 2007, 21:07

but can't justify £100+ for them!!

One can justify way over £100 for shoes but not for a show about shoes? Yes, one can! No, strike that. One must!

I love the show, and I so want to see the movie.

When I say I love shoes I mean I love shoes (approx. 80 pairs) but still haven't ever spent over £100 on a pair....managed £80. Will just have to try harder!!:lol:

I have never spent more than £35.. and that was on boots! I don't really get the whole thing about shoes. Now.. jackets.. that's a different question - I love jackets! :D

My reasoning behind the whole shoe thing is that I could still buy shoes when I was a size 20 and not have to buy a bigger size and not go home empty handed because I felt nothing looked nice!

I have spent exactly $100 on shoes before, but only on two occasions. I spend more money on handbags. The most I've spent is $280, and that was with an employee discount that gave me half off. The actual price of the handbag I bought was $460! Tooootally worth it! :tong:

26th September 2007, 22:16

I do get the shoes, and the handbags. I like to get classic pieces for clothes, especially jackets and other "bigger" things, and then just keep the look fresh with accessories. The last shoes I bought were the boots I wore the other day, little over $1,000, and they were worth every penny.

Handbags...don't even get me started on handbags!!:lol:

$1000 on boots - they must be a special sort of boot - WOW!!

I am a huge SATC fan and went to see the film the other night - LOVED IT!!

I wont reveal anything but I laughted & cried at several scenes, they have got it spot on.
Disappointed at the ending not what I would have written ;) but its well worth seeing. I want to go again!

I went to see the film last Thursday! I absolutely LOVED it!

A real rollercoaster! Funny, sad, happy, thoughtful....

I want a sequel! And I want to go to the cinema to see it again!

I watched this last Saturday, it was funny and I did enjoy it, but it was to predictable :)

Has anybody read the book? I really didnt like it, one of my worst reads this year :irked:

I didn't think it worked as a book. As a column it worked well, but the book was a disappointment to me. Having said that, I got it free with something - I don't think I'd have paid good money for it - so I can't complain too loudly! :D

I haven't read the book, but I've only seen bad reviews. I love the show though

12th June 2008, 14:22

I read the book ages ago, don't think I hated it, can't be sure.

The movie's blah, though.

Why blah?!

12th June 2008, 14:25

It's just... blah. There's none of the sharp wit and sarcasm of the show, it's just about emotional fluff. The outfits are nice, though! And the jokes, while good, were few and far between...

kelly2008

12th June 2008, 15:56

The book is one of the worst books I've ever read :irked:

It just seems crazy seen as the show is good....but then different writers I guess

You can borrow the book if you want, see if you can make any sense out of it :lol:

You know what I don't get? If these women are so sexually liberated, why do they wear bras when they're making the beast with two backs?

I very much enjoyed the movie version of the tv show of the same name.

It's good to see the girls as the show left off when the seasons ended at season 6.

It's full of fun and thrown in with sexy scenes that would make mary whitehouse angry.

It has nothing to do with sexual liberation and everything to do with getting a better profile on the screen. Push-ups, my dahlin', push-ups.
