Sex in the City 2 as bad as pork liver pudding...

Perhaps I need to remember that the movie is called SEX in the city and not LOVE in the city. They surely put a lot of emphasis on sex and dating and all the dating rules, games and deal breakers. After seeing the movie, I was flabbergasted by the lack of any real notion of love and marriage in the entire movie. There were the docile married one, the once sexy but growing into a vulgar menopausal woman, the careerist mother, and the materialistic self-absorbed fashionista one who focuses on sparkles more than on the actual welfare of her marriage. I am relieved I could not nor want to relate to any of the characters. Their case definitely have worsened through the entire series and even though I did not mind them before, this movie really did it for me. It made me want to get rid of my entire Sex in the City DVD box set. I guess I could forgive Carrie Bradshaw (Preston) for being stupid throughout the show, but now that she is actually married to her BIG love of all time, this is how she cherishes her love?
I wonder how many have reacted as strongly as I did...Do people look up to Carrie Bradshaw? Her ideal of love is based on the most stupid, unrealistic Haute Couture Lala-Land of commercial romance. All she seems to care about is how they are perceived by others, and how trendy and chic of a couple they are. They are just like hipsters but in the relationship area and you will find out soon enough how allergic I am to hipsters. People who value avant-garde or coolness or sparky romantic in this case over the real things. For example, when she nags BIG when wanting to relax on the couch and watch some TV. It's not cool to watch TV unless it's a black and white movie. PUH-LEASE!!! Leave the poor guy alone and focus on WHAT TRULY MATTERS!! Hhhhh. Ok, I can feel the taste of liver in my mouth thinking back about the movie. Here's my recommendation: Do not watch it unless you want to learn how to become a useless woman filled with high fashion clothes and no sense of reality...or unless you're just very bored...
