Kim Cattrall's character was my favourite. It had great impact, because it was new and it was comedy without the canned laughter. It was also brash and daring.
I'm actually surprised that Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker sorted out their problems, because the way they were carrying on I didn't think they would do the film. My girlfriend is going to watch it with her friends. It's just one of those things. I'm sure it'll be a great chick flick, but it'll be a chick flick nonetheless, so I'll be watching something else.

Sex And The City was never quite my cup of tea, but fun nonetheless. I watched it on TV on the odd occasion, and it did deal with some interesting issues.
It's a well-produced, very well put together TV show. A slick package all around, so even if you don't go for that
sort of thing, it's tough to knock it. The show has a huge following, so I guess a movie makes complete sense,
though I don't imagine it will take home any Oscars.
But Sarah Jessica Parker irritates me, so I'll probably only watch it when it comes out on DVD.

“Trust me, you'll love it,” my girlfriend kept telling me. “It's all about hot women talking about sex all the time.
Just give it a chance.” The TV episode I happened to catch was the one where Samantha was telling the girls how her current beau's semen tasted like asparagus.
I didn't need stuff like this in my life. Men enjoy living in a hermetically sealed, egotistical bubble. Sex And The City punctured this bubble with candid analyses, deconstructions, and critique of guys' mojos.
I now know what tulle is, who Manolo Blahnik is and
that, in all likelihood, all my girlfriend's girlfriends know my coital foibles. And somehow, this has made me a better man. I no longer wear socks to bed, have mapped out the pin-point coordinates of the G-spot and can tell the
difference between Miu Mius and Jimmy Choos. Oh, and I don't touch asparagus.

I'm more of a Seinfeldman. My impression of New York, indeed New Yorkers, will always be shaped by the quirky characters in the “show about nothing”. That said, I enjoyed the Sex And The City TV series ... for one reason
only: Samantha (any other man who says differently is lying).
It's like the Kim Cattrall's character was written especially
to fulfil every young man's fantasy: A hot, confident MILF-type using you as a piece of meat to reach her orgasm. What more could a man want? Samantha also had the best lines. I remember a scene - a friend is complaining about the demands men make while giving a blow job - to which Samantha replies: “Honey, they don't call it a ‘job' for nothing”. Brilliant.

I loved the TV series, it was the only full series, apart from Ally McBeal, that I have ever watched. (I obviously have a thing about thin people.)
I was deeply moved by the fact that they could walk the streets every night in Manolo Blahnik shoes, wearing tons
of jewellery and priceless handbags. In this country you'd be dead and the jewellery would be gone. (Don't know
about the shoes.)
I loved the combination of fantastic fashion, restaurants, they were always eating, never putting on weight, and cheap psychology.
Plus the fact that Sarah Jessica Parker's character did not have a huge income, but appeared in a different outfit every three minutes. And that beautiful people were simply everywhere, always single. That's how life should be. I will definitely watch the film on DVD, the widescreen thing seldom works for me. Unless Jane Austen is involved.
