Controversial Review: Sex in the City
Written by Jonathan Jacobs   
Sunday, 01 June 2008

I have fallen in love more powerfully than I imaged had been possible, and in a finite period of time. This love did not involved $50,000 rings, $10,000 shoes, $3,000 Dolce and Gabbana dresses or $2,000 Louis Vitton purses. Imagine how glamorous life would be if we all mythically made $8,000,000 a year minimum and could afford to buy and sell anything and everything we ever wanted without the slightest consideration of financial repercussions? What if the four shallowest characters ever invented were portrayed as epic nouveau archetypes for our current societal values? Humpy (Samantha), Dumpy (Mr. Big), Grumpy (Charlotte) Fugly (Steve), Dopey (Carrie), and Beastly (Miranda) make a mockery of men and of feminists everywhere…

       This movie cheerleads homosexuality, and screams callousness, emasculation, and idiocy of the grandest scale possible. I love movies, I love running this website, and I adore the fact that there is a movie for everyone. What I despise is being insulted as a member of an audience. I prefer not to have nightmares of marrying a woman who is more concerned with her pretty little shoes, handbags and hair than with my feelings or personality or well being. These women unfortunately are envied and idolized by today’s young women who grow up believing it is a man’s responsibility to cater to their every whim, every need and every wish no matter how extravagantly selfish of unnecessary. Not one of these characters has the slightest substance. The directors and script writers have gone out of their way to portray men as deviants who cheat and run away from their women in their most needy moments. Women are made out to be heroines no matter how their attitude, behavior, or actions speak to the contrary.

       I never thought I would hate Sex in the City but I swear that I will never watch another episode again if this is what the essence of the series really has been. Mind you, my devoted readers, I love sex on screen, I love raunchy humour, and I love clashes between men and women, but I simply will not tolerate watching four aging plastic surgery devotees define what women are in today’s society and teaching young women to be shallow and promiscuous without the slightest regard for men. Movies like this attempt to shape our culture but instead, they end up harming it.

       Essentially, this film is 4 and a half episodes of the series jam packed into one commercial free movie. 3 of them are unwatchably outrageous and one is decent just for the sake of being able to watch what happens next because I was a huge fan. If you watch this movie prepare to hear women in the audience laughing at parts which are not explicably funny and crying during moments that are designed to elicit emotion superficially. The good parts involve Mr. Big whose name we finally find out, and Kim Cattrall, who despite depicting the "slutty" character is genuinely real and offers something unique in this day and age, personality. Two thumbs down, the critics finally got it right.

Marie Osmond's son has died in Los Angeles. Britney Spears is blonde again. Again? when was she not blonde? I must have missed the microchip implant (not the boob implants) that upped her IQ to 50. Lil Wayne is going to jail. I hope he finds BIG boyfriend. Timbaland and Justin T have reunited. OH I have been traveling on this high pitched woman sounding road for too long. Ashlee Simpson and Kim Kardashian have been hiding tricks in their makeup bags? I thought they were tricks concealing makeup? Gosh it is so hard to keep things straight.

Sandra Bullock may show up on your TV screen. Get the remotes ready people. Then press up or down. Gabourey Sidibe may win an Oscar. I guess the question is can she read the writing on the award? Gatorade has dropped Tiger Woods like a birdie on a par 5. Apparently no longer able to cheat even Mr. Woods cannot quench his thirst. Who should "The Bachelor" pick to be his bride? I thought Corpse Bride was a funny movie why not pick her? She might have more life than the contestants on the show?
