Sex and the Pity

I just got back from watching Sex and the City 2 at the cinema, and I'm still torn between whether or not I liked it. It was enjoyable, sure, but the storylines just seem to repeat one another. (If you haven't seen it and don't like spoilers don't read ahead). Carrie cheats on Aidan with Big in the show, however many years later, she cheats on Big with Aidan...in a foreign country. Was there really any need?

The show was popular because it pushed boundaries, it was controversial and it was empowering for women, and this was your classic, cliched click flick. Even more so than the first film. God I wanted to kill Big and Carrie by the end of that one. And steal their shoes.

I preferred the fashion of the second one, but it seems a little like they've lost their individual styles and now just dress in what's pretty. Miranda isn't half as conservative as she used to be and Charlotte is less cutesy. Sure, people mature with age, but in a franchise that's all about the fashion, and fashion being about expressing your individuality, why make them all the same?

Yeah. I'm rambling. I'm allowed to. I haven't been able to write anything decent on my stories since we finished coursework at the start of the month. *Sigh*
