Sex and the City 2, or: the crappest film I ever saw

I have never wanted to warn people more about a film in my life. Oh, and yes, I will ruin the movie. But its okay, the plot doesn’t really matter.
I went with some very dear friends of mine, thinking well at least I can mock it. I knew it would be silly, I knew it would be different from the show, but I had no idea it would spit in the face of the show. Here are my main issues with the film:

Its called SEX and the CITY trying having some of at least one of them i your actual film.

They had characters, full, well rounded ones in the show. They should also have them in the movie.

Try to be consistent. I should not spend half the film thinking ‘They would never have done that’

Remember when just Carrie dressed like a lunatic? And didnt have to walk around holding her dress up?

Watching an adult woman in her 40’s STARING at a woman in burka, feeling the need to point her out to her friends and then having them stare and wonder how she eats food is appalling and offensive. To anyone with a brain.

The personal butlers, $22,000 a night hotel while the butler cannot afford to live in the same country as his wife, but its okay because Carrie leaves him $50 as a tip? Also grossly offensive and shows your screenwriter does not live in the real world.

Carrie is a whiny bitch and I spend the whole movie wanting her to grow the fuck up. I am almost half her age. Who complains because she has to stay at home to eat a whole three nights a week?

If I kiss an ex-boyfriend will my husband buy me a huge diamond ring as ‘punishment’?

These people used to be able to act. I remember. Maybe cause they also had characters with emotional depth that allowed them at use those acting skills.

Why are they all best friends with Carrie?

She & Him: Volume Two

Okay, before I start this I have to say that when it comes to Ms. Deschanel, I am very biased. I love her, I think she is beautiful and seventeen different kinds of adorable. So maybe this has clouded my judgement, but I am about to say a lot of positive things.

So I may be wrong, but I love this album and think it is fantastic.. I loved the first one, and I love this too. For me, its great baking and driving music. A bit retro style upbeat mixed with country style sad ballads. It sounds a bit like Patsy Cline to me, a nice old fashioned feel. Which is odd, because as my Mum pointed out when listening with me, her actual voice sounds just like Debbie Harry. Which may be why i lean so strongly towards it, she has elements of quite a few different people and styles that I really enjoy.

There are a few tracks I really love, the opening track is superb, I often skip the last few just to hear it again, and 'You and Me' may start sad, but I find it makes me feel better after a hard day. That being said, there are very few tracks I don't enjoy, my Dad (who likes old country stuff) enjoys it, my sister prefers the first volume.

The thing is, this album? Not all that different to the first. Which means that if the first album didn't appeal to you, I wouldn't bother seeking this out. If you loved the first one, though, well that is a whole other story. Personally I love the fact that this sounds similar to the first. It means that they have their own style, and also falls nicely into the 'Volume' rather then album concept.
