I saw the new trailer for the second Sex and the City movie last night, and to say that I was unimpressed could be the understatement of the year. This sh-t looks ghastly. And I’m saying that as a fan of the original television series – but not as a fan of the first film. The first film was too long, too depressing, too focused on Carrie’s whining and self-absorption, and if you’re expecting SATC 2 to go in a different direction, I’ve got news for you: the only new direction is down. Also, I should mention something else – this trailer seems like one big spoiler. It reveals some of what I’m guessing are the biggest plotlines, including (SPOILERS BUT IT DOESN”T MATTER): Aiden is back, Stanford and Anthony are getting married (I think), Mr. Big has a wandering eye, Carrie is in a rut, Charlotte is stressed out, Samantha is still horny and bangin’ everyone, and CAMELS. Lots of camels.
So, yeah… it doesn’t even seem like they’re in New York for most of the movie! All the “important” junk seems to happen in Abu Dhabi! I did learn something new from this trailer though – apparently in Abu Dhabi (and all around the United Arab Emirates), you can drink alcohol - it’s served in hotels and places where Westerners go. I was a little put off by the thought of these Western women getting sauced and horny in a predominantly Muslim country where it’s an article of faith to not drink and not be a horny cougar. Whatever.
Second thing I noticed – this movie is going to be heavy on the guest stars. You get a very brief glimpse of Miley Cyrus’s cameo and we also get a little taste of a ravishing Penelope Cruz as she flirts with Mr. Big. Big looks into to it, too. Yeah… not to be mean, but Penelope is more Mr. Big’s type (and Chris Noth’s type). Also, LIZA WITH A Z!!!! Liza Minnelli is there, I think at Stanford’s wedding…? See what I’m saying? There are no spoilers, because now that you know that Stanford is getting married, and Liza is there (Yay!) doesn’t that make you want to see the movie more? I hate myself.
And why do they do that to Cynthia Nixon? I think Nixon is one of the prettiest and most natural of the “girls” and they made her look like hell. UGH.

I gotta say, albeit grudgingly, the fashion looks pretty damn great, as does the scenery, and the guest stars, too…maybe just maybe it won’t totally suck…

My BFF’s and I will be there on opening night dressed to kill. It’s all about the fashion, babe.

Hmm, I used to love SATC but it hasn’t aged well. Carrie is hella annoying and you can tell she will be in top form in this movie. Overall, it actually looks a little better than the last movie, but that isn’t saying much. Finally, what the hell kind of of shoulder spikes is Samantha wearing in Abu Dhabi?

they filmed that in Morocco, no? Though you’re right, I still don’t think they should be disrespecting a culture by acting as though it’s just like NYC.
And I know the whole point of Big and Carrie is the drama, but seriously, they’re together, can we get another storyline besides the drama?
I’ll still see it though – of course.

I became I fan when I watched the first movie; never watched the series when they were on tv. I bought the whole set so I watched all the episodes -loved the show, loved Aidan!-. I am so looking forward to watching this movie

Mmmmmm… Didn’t all this get old by the third season of this stupid, stupid, STUPID franchise?
Let me guess the plot of this crap fest: four mentally retarded, emotionally immature, fashion-obsessed, boring, superficial, whiny old cows who claim to be feminists just because they are sluts (while pining for Mr Prince Charming on a White Horse ’cause, you know, a woman can’t be truly happy unless she is married), make mountains out of molehills and get entangled in ridiculous situations while changing clothes 50 times every day.
Oh my God, it’s so different from every single episode of the series!!!! Yeah, I know: groundbreaking!
Honestly, I have always wondered why so many women cared about this crappy series. If you want to see clothes, watch Fashion TV. If you want to see self-centered idiots, watch reality shows. If you want petty drama, watch any sitcom out there… A combination of banal, contrived and childish doesn’t yield any good results.

I CANNNNNOT WAIT…I think it looks FANTASTIC! Better than the first
The writing sounds sharper too. More like the series, less like the 1st movie which seemed too far from the series and trying too hard to be a MOVIE.

Loved the series, and own it.
I have low expectations on the films. They are my excuse to have cosmos, lunch, and a movie with the girls.

Well,I don’t care! I too, think it looks like fun! I like SATC,series & movie. It makes me laugh and I know not to take it seriously.
I hate Aidan with his “trying to hard to be the perfect,loving guy” and his puppy eyes. But I sure wouldn’t mind getting crushed against a wall by Mr.Big!yum yum yummy!

ITA with Pont Neuf! I cannot believe that anyone would want to see this, but I never understood any of the hype over this show. If I want to see worthless, spoiled, useless twats, I want it to be (sorta) real, like the Real Housewives, not scripted garbage starring old hags and Seabiscuit’s long lost twin. However, camels are SO COOL and if it was a movie all about camels, I’d totally be there!

I also love SATC! I loved the movie too. Yes, they are all very self-absorbed women, but I still like it and Aiden was way too good for Carrie. He should have come my way, I would have loved his cabin in the woods and his laid-back style. Carrie and Big deserve each other because they are both superficial cadets. And one of the funniest scenes was at the beginning when Carrie is in bed with Big and he has this enormous gut but they spray painted abs on him. Too funny.

Oh, forgot to mention, I would never go to Abu Dhabi, they are so not modern. Just check out the recent news of a British couple going on trial for kissing on the beach. If I had that kind of money to travel I wouldn’t spend it on some backwards nation trying to impose their backwards rules on me. No thank you.

Aiden is still hot!

@Pont Neuf – bravo! I totally agree. And then agree some more.
But the way I see it, the more movies the better. The more suck they produce, the more people might start to recognise SATC for the antediluvian fairy-tale horseshit that it really is.

Not gonna lie, it looks great to me. I appreciate it for the mindless, chicklit, fluff that it is. Is it going to enhance my life to see it? Nope. But it will probably be pretty fun.

Disagree- Charlotte is the prettiest!

@TG That was Dubai, not Abu Dhabi. Same UAE federation, different emirates. The UAE emirates share some federal framework, but each country’s judicial system is totally seperate.

The Aiden part looks interesting but you know nothing happen betweens them or they would have showed it in the trailer.

It will probably suck, but you know we’re all gonna see it. I for one would LOVE for Carrie to get back with Aiden, I always thought he was better for her than Mr. Big. Too good for her, but whatever.

I agree with Kait. Appreciate it for the fluff that it is and is supposed to be. It’s not supposed to be a life-changing, game-changing film experience.
It’s supposed to be some fun, fashiony chick movie you go and see with a bunch of your girlfriends and afterwards go get lit at a bar and talk about your past boyfriends and how you want Mr. Big even though he’s a dick.
At least, thats what I do

I looooooved Aiden! Carrie was an idiot and a masochist for choosing that manwhore Big over Aiden. Big treated Carrie like garbage throughout the series and the first movie, and she kept coming back for more. What a wonderful example for women out there. The douchier the guy the more a woman wants him. Disgusting. Is it any wonder it’s so hard to find a good man. They all know that a lot of women prefer men who treat them like crap. I’ll probably just rent the movie and fast forward to the scenes featuring John Corbett as the deliciously wonderful Aiden.

aaawwww come on !!! You gotta love Big and that smile of his !!When he smiles, I go weak
And, he’s so…BIG!
I love tall, broad-shouldered men! Big in a suit flashing that smile of his – I could just spread him on toast! *drooling*

Loved the TV show, did not like the first movie. At least this one looks slightly less depressing and appears to have a plot that actually moves instead of meandering about for so long. Still, I’ll probably wait for it to come out on DVD.

Anyone notice how smug and self-satisfied Miley looks in that photo – can’t wait for this no talent peabrain’s downfall and demise. She better savor these moments.

the problem with the movies is that they take the women out of new york. i think NY is like the fifth character and the movies don’t have that manhattan sparkle. still, i’ll go see it with my galpals and my gay male friends and go out for martinis afterwards.

OMG That trailer was hilarious!!
and not in a good way.
I will not waste my money on that stupid movie! and I was planning to until I saw the trailer.
what was that? just one long travelocity commercial paid for by the chamber of commerce for the middle east?
What? did a new mcdonalds open? Maybe a starbucks? wallmart?
sex in the city is too 2001
and anything with miley cyrus automatically goes without being seen by my eyes.
i might be her demo, but I hate her nasal voice.
btw just wait for candice b to release her prequel books when “carrie” was younger and just moving to NYC.
This is how they’re going to revitalize the series.
kinda dumb but worth seeing what happens
