...the new Sex and the City movie


 satc_web.jpg   Who else is excited about the impending Sex and the City movie? I know I can’t be alone here. Don’t we all miss Carrie’s crazy outfits, her kooky friends and if nothing else, her shoes? As much as we hate to admit it, I know we all wished we could spend the day like her- laxing out in our (how can you afford this?) apartment, tapping away insightful things into our Mac, and wondering how the hell we managed to afford all those shoes on a writer’s budget.
    Considering the last episode of SATC screened forever ago, I thought it was time to get everyone up to speed about where the series left off; if for no other reason then so when we settle down in our comfy cinema seats with a bucket of popcorn, ticked-off boyfriend in tow, to watch Sex and the City: The Movie, (Oooh I got shivers down my spine), we’re all on the same page.

    So basically, the last episode saw Carrie finally being rescued by her Prince Charming, aka Mr. Big, aka John, when he flew to Paris to profess his undying love after she got slapped by her Russian lover Aleksandre Petrovsky (yes, this is how it’s spelt, even though he’s a fictional character). She immediately flew back to New York to do what she does best: brunch with her friends.  Did anyone else think this ending was kind of a cop-out? Oh, I know we all wanted Big to step up and get his shit together eventually, but it just seemed so unrealistic.
    What else? Well Samantha curbed her skanky ways by falling for a younger actor by the name of Smith, who really seemed to care about her as well. He expressed his love to her by sending her a plant while she recovered from breast cancer. Charlotte finally got her wish for a baby when husband Harry informed her they were getting a little girl from China, and Miranda embraced domesticity by agreeing to move to Brooklyn and giving her mother-in-law a bath, after finding her eating pizza out of a trash can.
    So, what can we expect from the movie? (Read: possible spoiler alert.) Well, from what I understand the movie doesn’t pick up immediately from the last episode. In fact, we fast- forward a few years. Charlotte’s little mandarin girl is a baby no longer, Carrie and Big are getting married….or are they? And, the inevitable occurs - Miranda and Steve’s marriage is dealt a blow after “infidelity issues”. Hmmm, sounds ominous. Then I can imagine the film will end much how all the episodes in the series ended: With Carrie gazing out her apartment window, lips pouted, writing about what a bastard Big turned out to be.  I can’t wait!
