Sarah Jessica Parker and TMI go together like ice cream and sprinkles. Yes, the Sex and the City 2 press tour has begun, and it is already a buffet of wrongness. Since I’m going to pull from a lot of sources, let’s just do the highlights:
SJP on shooting in Morocco: “We didn’t even have a bathroom. There was literally no interruptions. Kristin Davis got sick. Apparently. If you’re very sick and have a very serious intestinal issue, you just need warm milk.”
SJP on the film shoot: “[It was] laborious and Herculean, but it was one of the greatest experiences of my professional life…To live and work with this cast and that crew every single day to see the sun rise and set over our locations in the most far flung places. To lie in a bed all day with these women exhausted and laughing. To be on a camel with Kim Cattrall, which disobeyed all orders.” [Editor’s note: Did the camel disobey orders, or did Kim Cattrall? I can’t tell.]
On whether Mr. Big is bad: “There is not a villainous move by any man in this movie. Any consequences are on a part of us and the choices [the women are] making and some momentary reckless behavior… It’s all us, and we come home, frankly, a little wiser.”
SJP on doing nudity: “You don’t want to see me topless. You really don’t.”
SJP on other people‘s nudity: “Maybe they’re more equipped to do so. And it’s all been voluntary. There was never any pressure. Never once. It’s too progressive of a community here to have anyone pressured into doing that.”
SJP on being nervous: “I’m excited. But this is also the period when I tend to be very nervous and I worry and I fret and overthink. I’m in a state of turmoil. I fret about everything. I worry that it’s not good enough. I worry that no one will show up…What if the audience isn’t happy?”
On the Photoshopped monstrosities during promotion: “It’s curious to me because everything’s Photoshopped now. I’m curious, because do they ask it about a Will Smith poster or a Tom Cruise poster?”
On letting her 7-year-old son watch SATC: “I’m not going to be able to keep him away much longer. If I can manage to take him out for popcorn for two certain moments, I think he’s ready for it. He has too many questions, and he’s too clever for us to keep it from him. I wouldn’t say this movie is for 7-year-olds, but we’ll find a way of figuring it out.”
On the twins: “This may be the very time to show it to them. They’ll just say, ‘Hi.’ That’s what they’re saying right now, ‘Hi.’ ”
When will SJP do theatre again? “As soon as my children are old enough to put themselves to bed. It’s very hard for me to be away at night. It’s hard to miss that time. They still like me. There’s going to be a point where they won’t want me anywhere near the house. That’s when I’ll come begging, ‘Please, please let me have some stage work.’ ”
On a third SATC movie: “Oh, dear god. I don’t feel entitled to have that conversation yet. Let’s see if anybody shows up on May 27.”
On beauty secrets: “I don’t have one. I feel old and tired! I have children I run round after, I try to walk as much as possible, and other than that I buy every cream possible. I love beautiful clothes and am privileged enough to have access to a lot of them, but they’re returned the next day. They’re not mine!”
On her kids: “Having my boy and now the twins, life is triply delightful. When I [used to] come to London, my first stop was Harvey Nichols, but now it’s all about Hamleys. That store is amazing! The girls couldn’t be more different. One is constantly looking around and reaching out, the other is very serious and slightly aloof.”
On the Carrie Bradshaw character: “I don’t feel like Carrie – my life is so different, my choices are different. But I love her. I love playing her and everything about her – the good, the flawed, the mistakes, the bad choices. I understand that people will blur the lines, but I feel very different. Which is probably why it works so well, because if she felt familiar to me, I would have bored of playing her a long time ago.”
[From E! News, Us Weekly & The Daily Mail]
Lord. That’s a lot of SJP for one day, isn’t it? And you know this sh-t is only going to get worse. SATC 2 doesn’t come out for another couple of weeks, and the way they’re doing the full-saturation promotion, you know that there will interview after interview of this stuff. Am I the only one who is really annoyed when SJP uses phrasing like “triply delightful” and “slightly aloof” to describe her children? Oh, and letting James Wilke watch Sex and the City? Yeah, that won’t disturb him. Of course, I’m still thinking about the television series – God knows, the new film is probably like a cartoon, with a cartoonish plot, so James might enjoy it.

I didn’t think it was so bad. I like that she admits she has no beauty secrets cause she looks harsh!

I am sooooooo sick of SJP, this clinging on to fame with useless S&C sequels are just irritating. Atleast Jennifer Anniston puts in some effort trying to trick us to watch her movies, this is just laziness. Where is Chris Brown, he should start a company where he protects us from annoying fame whores by smiting them from our presence. I’d buy shares in that company chris!

I don’t get why she feels the need for James Wilkie to see this movie. She can’t just say, “This is a movie for grown-ups,” and have that be that? (Yes, one could argue that it isn’t, but you get my point.)

She’s had a hellofa career considering she’s still just playing Janie from “girls just want to have fun”. She’s a horrible actress and not so pretty.
Lucky Lucky Lucky gal… I’m kinda amazed she ever got anywhere… Not that being married to a gay guy a playing a total nit-wit is particularly somewhere…it just comes with a better bank account

I like her. I like her honesty.
@Kaiser,
It shows that you really really don’t like her and you seem to pick at her every word. I see no problem with “triply delightful” – I have three kids and I think the same thing all the time.
And how would you describe a child who really is slightly aloof without saying “slightly aloof”? Because one of my twins is a real daredevil, will touch everything, climb on everything and is not scared of anything. The other used to be much more serious, more observant, used to stay back before deciding to approach whatever the other was doing. Now,growing up he is less like that and more carefree and will sometimes dare things his brother won’t! It’s so funny

I could see showing him bits and pieces of the movie, like the stuff on the camels or whatever just to show him what she did, but I don’t think there’s any need for him to sit there and watch the whole movie, nor do I think a 7 y.o. boy would want to.
Her Photoshop answer is pretty funny, because sorry SJP, at least Will and Tom are still recognizable on their posters!
As much as I liked the show, I didn’t care for the first movie and this one looks pretty bad.

Let the kid watch the movie. He’ll lose interest after five minutes. Clothes, shoes and cosmos do not hold much appeal for the average 7 year old boy.

I think she comes across really well in the interview. She always seems pretty down to earth. I just have to remember that she’s not Carrie because I pretty much loath Carrie.

I think her “triply delightful” and “slightly aloof” are fine. At least she is down to earth and not another snooty, sell-involved actress. She seems like a lot of fun.

Is she talking about doing theater when her twins are teenagers? Isn’t that the age they put themselves to bed & can’t stand you hanging around?

“What if the audience isn’t happy?”
I guess SJP hasn’t surfed the internet much since the last movie.

Who knows what the movie is about, but wasn’t the show about nudity and sex scenes and what not? As long as the movie doesn’t have any nudity or sex scenes, it should be fine, (I guess) I can’t say, cause I haven’t seen the movie,lol. He shouldn’t watch it if it did. And most likely he will be bored (like someone else said.) lol

Love the comment Kaiser about a cartoonish movie appealing to a child. What are these women going to do after this movie blows over and blows away? their ceaseless promotion has drainded away all the genuine interest in this movie – I hope it bombs so more interesting celebs can get some media attention.

I thank G-d for SJP! I find her very down-to-earth and easily likable and relatable. I never got into the SATC because I didn’t have cable, but my coworker would say to me every other day, “You have GOT to watch SATC! It’s hilarious. You’ll love it!” Anyway – of what I know about SJP – I like her. A LOT! I think I’d enjoy being BFF’s with her

Interesting point about how no one questions Will Smith or Tom Cruise getting ‘shopped… I don’t see anything aside from whether Jude Law has a new hairline.

I’m going home to tell my husband he’s triply delightful, bahhahaha, that’s hilarious! The movie will do well, poor Kristin Davis got the potty jokes last movie and now this one too-not triply delightful for her I guess.

I always enjoy the TV show its humor and goofiness. Even when Carrie was whiny as hell, the rest of the show tended to be alot of fun.
But that first film was just awful.
I am hoping this second film has the humor that the show had. And I am always willing to watch John Corbet* when he is cleaned up.
(*I always found him icky. But then he ended up with a great haircut and shave in his second stint on SATC. And dang he was all pretty.)

Milian – Seriously?! I am glad no one in your life (that you know of, it is way too common, regardless of race, class, religion)has ever had to deal with domestic abuse or dating abuse. The cover of People magazine shows a young female college student murdered by her boyfriend. It is not a joke.
Kate – it is different if his mom is in the film. It is probably better to watch it with her now and end the curiosity, instead of watching it with friends in a few years. He also isn’t young enough to get some of the innuendo yet.

It’s the first I find her really relateable and likeable, especially when she talks about constantly worrying and overthinking stuff and when she doesn’t pretend to be some fashion or beauty expert like super annoying Gwyneth!
Also, I can’t believe only one person reacted on Milan’s comment! Either you agree with her, which is despicable, or you’re too busy bitching that you don’t even notice!
And Kaiser, I’m disappointed! Aren’t you supposed to be moderating the comments?
