Because you know Goth will be weighing in with the exact same comments verbatim, I give you:
The Right-Wing's Take on SATC!
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali

Posted: 6/2/08 at 5:27pmWe all clapped the second the first notes of the theme song started playing. I must confess, I thought it was thrilling, perhaps if I had been by myself it wouldn't have been, but there was just so much excitement in the audience. The movie-watching experience in itself was so good.
"Some people can thrive and bloom living life in a living room, that's perfect for some people of one hundred and five. But I at least gotta try, when I think of all the sights that I gotta see, all the places I gotta play, all the things that I gotta be at"

Posted: 6/2/08 at 9:46pmI went yesterday with some of the girls and the same thing happened at our theatre - the packed audience immediately began applauding when the theme music started. They applauded and cheered again at the end of the film. I honestly went with low expectations but I really enjoyed it.

Saw it last night, thought it was better than I was expecting. Got some good laughs out of Kim Cattrall, who could read the phone book and spark complaints from The American Family Research Council.
This is doubtless just further evidence of how out of touch I am, but I thought that most of the clothes in the film were HIDEOUS. Those ghastly clothes they were all wearing, I mean, my GOD. Van Smith wouldn't have put Divine in those things.

I have to second the Hudson as Mammy comment. For some reason black people are always helping out lost and confused white people and magically sorting out their lives.
At least this time she got paid for it.
Beyond that, the film delivered. I had a great time and left with that warm fuzzy feeling of appreciation for all the love and friends in my life.

I don't get the Mammy thing. I just saw one nice person helping out another and vice-versa. Why does it HAVE to turn into something racist? Is it some sort of reverse-PC thing I don't know about where black people should never be cast for certain roles? Or if there is a black character, must the part be rewritten because we have to treat them as "black" and not a "person"?
Or maybe it is just me. Maybe I should be actively looking for Mammies instead of Jennifers. Am I politically incorrect if I don't see Mammies? I don't know.

DottieD'Luscia,
I saw it with one my longtime best friends who was visiting from CA.
There were at least four moments when he reached over and squeezed my hand.
How we both managed to finish the film without breaking down in tears is a mystery.

Posted: 6/4/08 at 9:43amSaw it last night and loved it, one small thing though. Did anyone else think that Samantha's 50 b-day seem rushed and slapped on at the end, lil shocked that wasnt a minor plot point in the movie, it was like yay happy 50th

Well, I just thought it was odd that she was 50, much like I thought it was odd that Carrie was 40. Carrie was 38 in the last season and Samantha was already in her late 40s by then.
Then again, in Smart People, Sarah Jessica Parker played a character that was supposed to be 30, so clearly she's milking that girl-woman thing until it's wrung dry.
