SATC

Thanks to the Daily News, this morning on the train I was asssulted with the 32,119th article this week on the Sex and the City movie. Ugh. But two things jumped out as I scanned the thing:

- "Big" has cold feet during the run-up to the wedding? Really? Did the writers run out of time; are they SURE they could'nt come up with anything more cliched than a cold-footed groom? Chandler Bing much, assholes? According to Wikipedia Big is knocking on the door at 50 years old and Carrie is 43. They've dated off and on for a decade, and it's been over four years since the last episode, when we were to believe they finally realized yes, they were truly meant for each other. This isn't some sorority girl getting lavaliered - in other words, you're both old and have known each other forever. Nobody's crossing their fingers "We're rooting for these kids!" Fucking christ - either fucking get married or don't, we don't give a fuck. But noooo, we gotta roll out the fucking "nervous groom" nonsense. Ugh.

- the other thing that bugs me is the line "The best reunions begin with nostalgia and end with hope for the future, and "SATC" is bursting with both." Yeah right; the "hope for the future" is Hollywood-ese for "hope we make $300M and can get started tout suite on a sequel." Camon. All the characters are at "personal crossroads"; lemme guess - all the loose ends get tied up...except one, leaving the door open for such a sequel et al. As the article says, "hope is always around the corner." I guess we'll never get closure on these clothing hamsters; there will always be some time when they "need each other more than ever!!!"

My advice? End it. Have Carrie wake up, the last three seasons were all a dream. She calls up all her girls "It's such a clear, bright September morning!! Let's all go to the top of the World Trade Center and look at our REAL best friend, New York City!! Yaaaaaaaaaaay us and NYC!!!"

KA-BLOOEY!!!! 4 lives, wrapped up with a fucking bow. NEXT!!!

Isn't this all leading to: Golden Girls II?
