Sex and the City … no, thanks.

Sex and the CityI was just reading this review of the SATC movie and found myself thinking, “Am I the only woman on Earth that does not have the smallest desire to see this movie?”

Background: I loved the series. Both D and I watched it religiously. Though toward the end, it started to wear on me. Maybe something changed when Carrie started having an affair with (a married) Big while she was with Aidan. Whatever the reason, I wasn’t heartbroken when the series finally ended. I was actually pleased with how they closed the story up.

Now, four years later, the movie is finally out. Eh. My interest is long gone. I’ve gone through some personal changes that instead of fawning over Carrie’s shopping sprees, I find it all quite shallow and materialistic. Maybe it’s woman’s fantasy, but I guess not this one’s. Since so much of SATC revolves around fashion and shopping, it now holds as much interest for me as picking lint out of my pocket.

To each her own. The only reason I’m bothered by this is because there seems to be this feeling of: if you’re a woman, you will FLOVE the SATC movie. I’m not trying to break the mold, I just hate being restricted to such confined quarters.
