Sex and The City

I shall now blog about my tragic cinematic experience whilst watching SATC hokay. The thing is I was looking forward to watching the movie coz I'd read of how Cashmere Mafia totally took on the whole SATC vibe. I loveee Cashmere Mafia that's why. I wanted to see how identical those two shows are.

Me and Nurul chose to get seats all the way at the back, for very obvious reasons. And so waited for the movie to start while snacking on nachos and cheese. And then, the fireworks began....

Coz we had the second and third seats from the aisle so the first seat right next to the aisle was empty. And I thought nobody would get a single seat for him/her self. But nooo. SOMEONE did came in to watch SATC all alone. And when you think of that, you would imagine someone around the age range of, say, 18 - 35? Ok scrap the age range. I'm thinking people who would at least have a clue of what the movie is all about. Is reasonably young, or at least those old but trendy types.

So guess who walked into the cinema all alone? A man probably in his late forties, with a pot belly, wearing sloppy clothes and clutching onto two wet-market plastic bags. He plopped down next to me on the seat nearest to the aisle. FUG. The moment the movie started, he was somewhat breathing heavily and I realized he had a funny odour on him. My anticipation to watched the movie came crumbling down coz I know I'm gonna be in for the long haul. What more, knowing that the movie was gonna last about two and a half hours.

WTF. Can you like imagine watching some totally sensational show like SATC next to someone who not only came in alone, but could actually pass off as someone's dad?! OF COURSE NOT! It beats me ya know. Like why would a man like that would wanna watch SATC. Well of ocurse anyone can watch anything they want but still...! Could it have been because of the 'S' word?

Like seriously. I'm pretty sure he can watch more of those upfront stuffs at yangtze cinema or whatever cinema that has all those full frontal flicks for that matter. I doubt he understood much of the movie anyway. He only laughed when others laugh. And for most of the movie he was yawning away. Loudly. Well loud enough for ME to hear at least. At that, I can only conclude that it was really the 'S' word that lured that freaking ahpek to watch the movie. Nothing else man. Nothing else. That totally ruined my mood to watch the damn movie. He was right next to me. No go. Fug.

Oh and worse off, I found out that he is much older than I think he is. Coz he was somewhat wobbly as he was going down the stairs to exit after the show's over. It's odd, sad, disgusting...I dunno. I can't quite describe. It ruined my movie day anyhow.

Now for the SATC vs Cashmere Mafia face off. Haha! I have to say, I prefer CM so much more. Maybe coz I hardly know of SATC during that point in time when it was a raging phenom. So I didn't exactly live through that phase in order to totally feel the entire show. Also, I watched CM first before I ever laid eyes on SATC. Heh.

Other than that, the cast in SATC really look old. Like duhh, it's been so many years! But it just didn't kick in, ya know, with the whole glam vibe and all. Or maybe I've had too much gossip girl. Even then, the portrayal of the four women in CM stands out better, to me. Though I am very much certain that all the SATC purist are gonna vouch for the show better than they would for CM. Coz SATC came along first after all. And CM will always be deemed an SATC rip-off. Might as well, coz CM is already gone for good after just six (or was it seven?) episodes. Thanks to the WGA strike. No thanks really. Bleah.

Ooohh and a side note, did you saw one of Blair's cronies acting as a waitress in the show?? It was just weird. From being one of the close friends of the IT girl in GG to a waitress in SATC, and appearing for just a few seconds at it. Just plain weird.
