So last night, I watched the first “Sex and the City” movie on HBO again. I still don’t understand the hate toward this franchise. I still don’t find anything wrong with the first movie. The way I looked at the film, it was nothing all that bad. There is not much gay material in it, just very briefly with a few minor scenes. The film is simply about the 4 women reuniting again from the TV show. Of course, they do their usual talking about men and how bad they are at relationships. The film mostly focuses on trashy fashion. People hate the series because of it’s trashy fashion? That’s the point of it. It’s suppposed to be trashy and ugly. The reason for this is, that the 4 women wants to prove that the aging professional working women are not always perfect. The series want people to hate their trashy fashion.

The thing is, it’s just a movie. That’s all it is. Why are guys out there calling it a chick flick, when I’m sure men saw plenty of chick flicks in their lives at some point. “Ghost” = chick flick, “Pretty Woman” = chick flick, “Titanic” = chick flick, “Dirty Dancing” = chick flick, “Moulin Rouge” = chick flick”, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” = chick flick, “Thelma & Louise” = chick flick, “Julia & Julia” = chick flick, etc. I can go on with the list.

“Sex and the City” is not really aimed directly at women, even though the show is popular with women. For the record, the person who created the series, Michael Patrick King, happens to be a man. Yes, he is openly gay but they can still be interested in straight relationships, nothing wrong with that. The series is mostly about straight relationships.

I’ll be looking forward to seeing the sequel tomorrow. I know the sequel comes out today, but I have to see it tomorrow ’cause it’s my day off of work.
