Blog EntrySex and the City: The MovieJun 1, '08 4:00 AM
for everyone
"After years of living in the city, I assumed that if my friends and I ever got our fairy tale endings that would be the end of the story. But real life -- always has a twist." -Carrie Bradshaw

That perhaps best captures what Sex and the City: The Movie is all about. It picks up where the series ended in 2004, when Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha seemingly got their fairy tale endings. Of course, if it was all about fairy tale endings, then we wouldn't have an emotional rollercoaster of a movie. I honestly thought that the movie was an extension of the series, quite like watching five episodes straight... and more. The movie makes us laugh louder, gush at men who give the perfect walk-in closets, tear up more at the heartbreaks, and smile wider at the semblance of fairy tale endings.

(To top it all off, the fashion in the movie is quite a visual feast. My favorites have got to be Carrie's Vogue photo shoot and the shoes! The pictures would just have to speak for themselves.)

What makes us willingly go through this emotional rollercoaster of Sex and the City is the fact that we can relate to certain aspects each character... or that we can relate to what they're going through. This is why it's a very good idea to watch the movie with your girlfriends, although I'm pretty sure there were a lot of guys in the theater to get greater insight to the female mind... and the sex (the scenes, of course, were unceremoniously censored out and that pretty much negates so much of what the movie is about).

And for the record, I think I do analyze the hell out of things like Miranda (pros and cons list, anyone?), but deep down, I've always felt I was more of Carrie -- neurotic, passionate, and with a flair for shoes. So, which Sex and the City character are you?

Alam ko it premiered na in New York, but I'm not sure if it has been released nationwide already. Do catch it with girlfriends! Fun stuff, I tell you. :)

I really wonder if someone will admit to relating to Samantha. I'm waiting for someone to own up to that. Hello sushi! Haha!

Charlotte is so uptight it's funny when she gets into, um, interesting situations. Haha.

Why do I have a feeling that the movie will be cut to bits even more in your part of Southeast Asia?

Hay nako, we got the MTRCB-approved version here. Filled with awkward jump cuts. Hate. Hence the "need for more sex" comments. Haha!

Peste naman kasi eh! Sex and the city nga tapos walang sex?! Thats like having chocolate cake na walang chocolate! P*%$ dapat ginawa na lang R-18 eh!
swikey wrote on Jun 2
I didn't notice that it wasn't R-18! So we got the PG-13 version. Boo. Wait for the DVDs na lang! In the meantime, I have the entire seven episodes on DVD. Let's have a marathon one of these weekends. Hehe!

what a waste. It won't be the same. Maybe you'll have, err, plumbing issues by then.

Strike while the iron is hot. Tapos strike na lang ng strike.
