Well, in the space of a day, the full-length trailer for Sex and the City: The Movie was leaked and then yanked. Let me tell you, I had some trouble trying to find a clip that was still in operation, and now that I have… I am intensely disappointed. I cannot even articulate how utterly appalled I am.

Ridiculous puns with no wit.
Half the storyline given away.
Stale and strained.
No humour.
No inventiveness.
No damn schamazzle.

I could have wept. Ok, I did. I was so excited, expecting so much more after the thrill of the teaser. And now my dreams are all but smashed. Of course, there are a few small threads I cling to – the strength of the series encourages me to show some faith, and there are tiny hints that all may not be as it seems – but on the whole, this is a sad, sad day to be me.

Here is the trailer:

And here are a couple of brief notes about what is revealed, in case this clip is pulled too:

* Big’s real name is John James Preston.
* Steve appears to have cheated on Miranda.
* Charlotte has her adopted daughter, and is pregnant.
* Carrie moves in with Big and asks for a bigger closet instead of a ring.
* Big leaves Carrie ‘at the altar’.
* Samantha wants fresh meat.
* Jennifer Hudson’s character has moved to NYC “to find love”.
* Carrie appears to dye her hair dark after her break-up with Big.
* Chris Noth seems to have had serious airbrushing, along with the ladies.

Two: Giving The Come Hither

January 31st 2008 18:33
The second season of Sex and the City was the season of technical change. It was during this time that Carrie’s interviews with other characters were phased out, she stopped speaking directly to the camera, and the series moved to 35mm film rather than the original 16mm.

In terms of the story, the four ladies are learning a lot about themselves. Carrie and Big’s tumultuous relationship continues on and off, but in the end Carrie discovers some things about her self-worth – she grows up a bit and recognises what she really wants; Miranda learns to ease her boundaries a bit under the influence of Steve; Charlotte gains a bit of confidence and flouts a few conventions; and Samantha realises sex isn’t everything – but it’s still very important

Keeping You Posted

Well, the poster is out for Sex and the City: The Movie. It’s nice, but I’m not as impressed by it as I was by The Trailer, and I’m slightly disappointed they are pushing ‘Get Carried Away’ as the official tagline – I thought they could have come up with something a bit more imaginative and not so Carrie-central.

Did you get it right away? I didn’t. I was rather slow off the mark, in fact – but I believe I’ve made up for it. Of course, I’m talking about Sex, baby. Season One, to be precise, back when it all began and foreplay became something you could order straight up, with a twist, or from Saks Fifth Avenue. Read, rejoice, relive.

Ten Years Of 'Sex'

January 14th 2008 19:33
That’s right! It has been almost a decade since HBO hit series Sex and the City entered the world, our hearts, and Kim Cattrall’s girly bits. Exactly one week after the premiere of Sex and the City: The Movie will mark ten years since we met the fabulous glossy posse – ten years since we first mused over Carrie’s philosophical wonderings, delighted in Samantha’s sexual wanderings, fell for Charlotte’s determined romanticism, and revelled in Miranda’s droll cynicism.

'Sex' Could Have Ended Badly

December 13th 2007 18:12
Now that the Sex movie hype has reached fever pitch - thanks to The Trailer, I thought it would be a great time to look back at the series, and see where the movie could have been taking off from had it ended any differently. I wasn’t completely happy with the Sex and the City finale: I wanted Carrie and Big together but I felt the writers indulged in too much sentimentality, deviating from the edgy humour the show had previously been renowned for – but as I have discovered, it could have been a lot worse.

My heart leapt higher than Carrie’s Manolos when I realised the Sex and the City trailer was out. I didn’t breathe at all for the forty-nine seconds it took to watch it. And then I hyperventilated. And that’s not all: I’ve got quotes from cast interviews and news from Michael Patrick King on just where we can expect the Glossy Posse to be at.

'Sex' Spoilers... And Sequels?

December 3rd 2007 18:49
Word on the cyber street is that Sex and the City is set to become something of a franchise. According to In Touch, script ideas for a further four or five Sex and the City movies are being thrown around, pending the end of the writers’ strike. Each of the principle cast members has a sequel option in their contract, which producers can take advantage of should the current film – presently in production – prove to be the expected massive box-office success.

It seems everyone’s been making demands on the set of Sex and the City: The Movie. We all know Kim Cattrall’s caper – she’s been very open about why she initially refused to be part of the production, and why she changed her mind several years on. She wanted more: more perks, and definitely more dosh. “It’s nice to step into Samantha’s skin again, but I’m only doing the film for the money,” the 51-year-old actress said.
