Opening night of Sex and the City
 

No, I didn't go. We went to see Indiana Jones at the local MegaPlex theatre.

The scene waiting for us was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. There were literaly packs of women roaming about, dressed to the nines, as if they were going to a cocktail party. My wife and I got a total kick out of it.

Every show was sold out also and they were checking ticket stubs at the door, ir was honestly one of the strangest things I have seen at a movie theatre.

Saw the same thing too tonight. And I've discovered that the women that watch Sex and the City are not very attractive.

The women in Sex and the City aren't attractive either, so that makes sense.

People have been warning guys about this for weeks. I don't think we realize how utterly absurd the woman-love for Sex & the City is. It makes Star Wars geeks lining up for Ep1 look ok.

One of my regular bars was lacking in talent tonight, and I'm thinking this is the reason why.


Someone on the Rutgers' Rivals.com football board posed the question, if you had to pick up one of them from the bar (Rutgers alum Kristin Davis...she's definitely attractive...removed from the equation), which of the other 3 would you take home?

Some guy said "I'd take home Carrie Bradshaw and tell all my friends to hang out at my place 'because Dee Snider from Twisted Sister was going to be there.'" I don't think I ever laughed harder at something I read on a message board. Anyway, I think that's a pretty accurate comparison.

Love Kristin Davis though.

Triumph The Insult Dog, your services are required!

Saw Lathum started this thread and I thought maybe he lost his balls and Saldana is now carrying them in 'her' purse... ;)

Eli Manning was there. Link

What's scary was alot of guys looked like they were drug to this. Most of the packs of women roamed in groups of 4, but there were alot of 3 women/1 guy things.

Here is how I would rate the women of S&C:

Kristen Davis: 4 out of 10
Looks like Mischa Barton's grandmother. Not ugly, but I would require 3 or 4 beers to hit that.

Kim Cattrall: 3 out of 10 (10 out of 10 in 1982)
Very, very hot back in the day. Which was a long time ago.

SJP/Mr. Ed: 2/10
I got some laughs from it, but still wouldn't bang it. Probably makes 'neighing' sounds while getting wood.

That red head chick/man: 1/10
I don't even know what this is. Is it a drag queen/trannie?

I think the red head is into chicks in real life.

that red headed broad is a les in real life, fyi

I'd rather see The Foot Fist Way which came out yesterday.

I was dragged there last night, was spared by sold out showings, and will be dragged again tonight with with advance-purchase tickets.

I'm thinking it won't be the worst thing in the world, I'm kind of looking forward to the entertainment value of the crazies in the audience, sobbing or yelling or whatever they do.

I had no idea this would do all this business - $26 million estimated for Friday alone, more than double Indiana Jones.

My wife went with a group last night, she counted 3 Men in the line (that they waited an hour in BTW) and all them looked like they were waiting for root canals. She mentioned the audience was crazy, clapping, crying, hollering and the like.....I could only get her to admit to clapping once.

She also wore a Cocktail dress....

I could never imagine guys acting like this at say.....a Football game or something ;)

I just walked past a theater on E. 86th St. All of today's showings are sold out.

I told my wife it's like Star Trek for MILFS.

All women who watch Sex And The City: "My life is just like this"

No..it ain't.

Went with the girlfriend last night, saw a lot of attractive women actually but maybe that is because we went to the theater close to campus. The movie was ok I guess although the whole aura of the series seems shallow and pretentious to me.

I don't believe I have ever known anybody who is a fan of this show.

I get to see the previews every 15 minutes at work. Every. 15. minutes. I hate my job.

QFT

We went last night, got tix to the 8:30 showing, had to wait in line to get into the actual theater though. I counted men as we got in line, saw 6, maybe 1 or 2 got in behind us.

There was one guy there with his very pregnant wife...I told my husband that conversation was "I'm THIS pregnant with your child...you are taking me to see Sex and the City..." If he was smart, he just agreed and faked a smile.

I loved the move (HUGE) fan of the show, and no, I don't think my life is like that at all, I just love the dynamic between the women and how honest they are with each other...plus they all have great shoes! Husband said it was better than he was expecting, but nothing great. He didn't fall asleep or complain at all, so I was happy, though I have been told I now have to see "Get Smart" when it comes out.

You don't know any women, then...

My wife went to a midnight showing on Thursday with a group of her friends despite the fact that she had to be up at 5am Friday to get ready for work. This despite the fact that she called me a "huge dork" a few months ago when I told her that back in high school I went to a midnight showing of one of the Batman movies.

I have watched 5 minutes of this show...and that was plenty for me. I consider myself fortunate that my wife is NOT a fan of the show either (she watches it every now and then, but not religiously) so it's looking like I won't have to go see this thing...fingers crossed.

I think women have found their version of "The Three Stooges."

We almost went Thursday night for the midnight showing, but I had to be on the phones for work at 8, and husband had to be at work at 7, so we decided against it. I wish we had though, that would have been fun :)

Me too. Too bad it's a limited release. I can't wait to see this, unfortunately I'll probably be in Europe studying abroad by the time it hits OKC.

I'm sure she'll be more interesting than some movie anyway.

Really not a bad movie at all, but those characters are SO unlikeable.

Can the sequel be far away?

Over $55 million for opening weekend, almost double the anticipated gate. Biggest R-rated comedy opening ever, 5th-largest R-rated movie opening ever.

The article also notes that the audience plunged sharply from Friday to Saturday, which is the reverse of most blockbusters, meaning that it could dry up fairly quickly.

Yeah, I think that this one got a LOT of early run to the theater dollars (with women in cocktail dresses), but won't hold up. I don't see this women running to theater to see it again and again either.

See if I ever try to entertain you again.

Her real name is Les? Figures.

This made me think of the line in Family Guy where Peter says that Sarah Jessica Parker looks like a foot.

My wife is due in a week and a half and I've been told that I'm going to be her date Tuesday night for this movie. Yes, I'm praying for the baby to show up tomorrow night.

I'll probably see it at least 2 more times in the theater, my best friend Jessica wanted to see it but was doing an out of town wedding this weekend (she's a photographer), and my mom wants to see it as well.

Yeah. Living a "luxury" lifestyle in a ritzy city requires a lot of things.

The movie was just... long.

I followed the series from start to end... but damn... the movie felt like it wouldn't end.

It's like they took two 30-minute episodes, combined them, and added 1 hour of unnecessary scenes.

dude...

I've seen 10 minutes of this show, one episode years ago when I had HBO. I turned it on just in time to see the red-headed chick get her ass eaten out by some guy, followed by ass-eating discussion at lunch the next day between the 4 of them, with the Kristin Davis character being the only one to acknowledge having done the deed (cue: hilarity/shock that it was the prude!).

As if the visual with the red-head wasn't enough, the ass/lunch dynamic basically made me ill.

That was about it for me. That, and I assume Noth's character's name is a reference to his penis size, which is about as predictable/stereotypical as a show about chicks could ever hope to be.

This was my plan until I discovered that it isn't showing anywhere in Winnipeg. Probably because Sex in the City is taking up about 80% of the theaters.

Instead I went with a buddy to see Harold and Kumar 2 (2 thumbs up). My wife and all her friends got dressed up like the rest of the Sex and the City nerds. They brought sushi to the theater, as well as fancy cupcakes or something. Extremely ridiculous, although my wife thankfully was in agreement on that, and really just went along with it because all her friends were going.

The best part was picking up one of her friends on the way to the theater. This girl is a real piece of work. We had to stop and go into her apartment because she needed the ok on her dress (I swear some of these girls were acting like they were going to Prom). Anyways, she comes out to show off the dress and she looks 100% like the Paper Bag Princess. No joke. She then says "this doesn't look like I'm wearing a paper bag, does it?" We both shook our heads and told her she looked great, which was awesome because she then went out into public dressed in a paper bag, thinking she looked hot.

From what I've read, it isn't. It's a reference to him being a Mr. Big-shot. He's supposedly uber loaded and stuff.

Ah yes...what's a girl to do without a boyfriend who pays for everything?

FYI - that isn't at all what happens...he offers to give her a large sum of $ (30k) so she can buy her apt and she turns him down, so it's not the typical "girls looking for a rich guy" thing. They do all have careers and money of their own...with the exception of Charlotte, but that is a long story that I am sure you don't want to hear... :)

My wife and her sisters were laughing at me this weekend because I can't even be within earshot when my wife has Sex and the City on. It gives me a headache. I said all it is is a bunch of women nattering away incessantly about how their boyfriends suck. They questioned if nattering was actually a word...

My wife had been complaining that there was nobody to see it with (her friends don't watch the show), but then her sisters were in town for a wedding. I said if she couldn't see it in the theater, she could just wait to see it on DVD because it's not like an action picture with big special effects that are best on a big screen. They were all aghast and assured me that you had to see it in the theater. I have no idea why.

Thanks for this thread, Lathum.

I'll come clean. My wife was a fan of the the show when it was on and I would usually watch it with her. I didn't think it was too much different from, say, Friends. I didn't think that it was that bad of a show.

I was talking about the show in general, not the movie. But I don't know anything about either of them, so I'll take your word for it.

At least there is nudity in it.

I would delete it but then PEOPLE WOULD LOSE POSTS!!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Friends is even worse than Sex and the City. The latter was at least commercial free.

They are gaining the gift of awesome.

You're welcome.

I don't get this whole 'dragged to the theater' bit. You don't want to see a movie? Don't f'in go. There are movies I like, there are movies my wife likes and there are movies we like. Luckily, we have a pretty big common ground and I don't force my wife to watch a movie that I know she won't. She'll find a friend or I'll find a friend or we just wait until the DVD comes out...

I know her well enough that I just say 'You will NOT like this movie' and ever since the Great Kung Pow incident of 2002 she listens to me. (I went to the theater to see that with a friend and she insisted on going despite me telling me repeatedly that she will find this an absolute suckfest and wonder just why I was laughing.. After the movie she said it was the worst thing she has ever seen and would never doubt me again)

One of my co-workers has a wife that absolutely insists that everything she watch, he watch and vice versa... I mean, everything from TV to Movies to concerts. I'm all for doing things as a couple, but when you make the other person miserable for 2 hours (or force yourself to be miserable) eh...

You might need to point your coworker to the Marriage and Distractions thread.

If this was real life, a boyfriend/husband with some good coin (or fame; or both) would do much better then "Carrie" (or Sarah Jessica Parker).

I just find it funny that girls think they all deserve a rich, good-looking, charming guy (besides the small minority of pretty, realistic girls who have might want other things).

The sad part is that most women today think that is how is the way things should be. They see shows like this and the other comedies on TV where women rule the roost and expect that is how relationships should go.

As a married man, I can say without reservation that women DO rule the roost. :)

Oy...

My pre-marriage counseling consisted of learning two very important words, "I'm sorry."

Your a wise man. Even if your right, that's all you can say.

True, but we think all women should be pornstars in the sack...right?

Bottom line, we're all out to lunch on who has the upperhand. As soon as you think you've got it you are already trying to figure out how to get it back because the balance shifts that quickly.

Personally, I don't pretend to know what is going on instead I just roll with the punches and try to keep and level head.

I would shag Kim cattrall in a heartbeat. Kristin Davis is boring looking to me, and the other two couldn't have personalities good enough to get my dick twitching.

Like big dicks.

Personally, I'd like to know: where are all these nymphomaniac women who will immediately lust after you and hop in the sack with you with just a sultry look cast their way. I see them all the time in the movies...but I've yet to meet one in real life...dammit!

That's because you live in South Florida and it's too damn hot to have sex there... :rolleyes:

Those women in the 'movies' are getting paid to do that stuff. Try paying them in real life, I'm guessing you will start to see results.

No, no, no. If they're in the movies, they've got to be REEEAL! These women have got to be somewhere.

lol... puhleez, how about action packed goodness?

Iron Man > Sex and the City

You're awesome! And factually correct too...

Just like the movies:

Sarah Jessica Parker's Matthew Broderick 'cheated' | NEWS.com.au Entertainment

Just a heads up. Watch for the packs of blinged out Cougars next Wednesday.

Anyways, from the trailers, I think Kristen Davis is creeping across the chasm from "hit" to "pass."

What's next Wednesday?

I guess they're going to be camping out for MacGruber.

I actually liked the show a decent amount considering the material, and I could understand why people would want to see the first movie, but who the fuck wants to see these idiots running around on camels?

Unfortunately my wife.


I pretty much drew my line in the sand on the first movie and told her I was not going. So we haven't had any confrontations about this one thus far!

If they're actually running on camels, that could be funny.

I think it'd also be funny to mock people going to the theater. Probably not worth trying to take the baby to, or getting someone to babysit for, though.

I was invited to go and dress up in heels and a fancy dress... lmao. They obviously don't know me very well.

I did invite them to see Kick-Ass and they all said no. I seriously need to find gals pals that have interests similar to mine.

I watched two episodes just to see what the hell it was and came away that the four women were painted to be the hottest thing since rice. No way they would have that kind of success in the real world in terms of dating.

I saw it (part 2)....Anyone else?

Not as "good' as the first, but as someone else pointed out in this thread - actually just as good, or perhaps better, than bullshit sitcoms like Friends.

But damn did they all look old. I think the producers tried to make them look as young as possible for the 1st movie, and this time were like, "fuck it". Which is somehow refreshing, I guess. They're very much portrayed as middle-aged broads desperately trying to hold on.

And Kristen Davis is still hot for 45. And shit, Kim Cattrell isn't bad at all for 53 (at least her body - which is actually quite ridiculous for a chick in her 50s).

I laughed a bunch of times, I'm not going to lie to you people. But I didn't even get laid, so whatever....

Gotta' go today. Doesn't feel good.

I can stay at home and not get laid, thank you very much!

Seriously? Better than Friends? Even small doses of Sex and the City give me a headache. I can't even be within earshot when my wife watches it because it makes me want to kill.

I guess I was wrong... I had assumed you were a guy...

Luckily my wife can't stand it, I feel lucky. :)

Dude, even I won't go see it.

I was mildly curious about the sequel, but I didn't feel like going out. I just watched Hidalgo on TV and pretended that it was Cynthia Nixon riding on Sarah Jessica Parker's back around the desert. I think I actually came out ahead on that deal.
