I hate SATC but love this review...

OK, I'm a self identified SATC hater, so the Manohla Dargis review really appealed to me. So I think these are great quotes...

"...I wish Ms. Parker had let that bee in her bonnet go silent, because the movie that she and Mr. King have come up with is the pits, a vulgar, shrill, deeply shallow — and, at 2 hours and 22 turgid minutes, overlong..."

and

"...It isn’t that Carrie has grown older or overly familiar. It’s that awash in materialism and narcissism, a cloth flower pinned to her dress where cool chicks wear their Obama buttons, this It Girl has become totally Ick."

    Sweet Merciful Crap...this flick is almost 2.5 hours long? I'm surprised, but then again they did squeeze like 5 seasons of TV out of about 90 minutes worth of material.

    should i post spoilers here?

    they said someone was gonna die in the movie but apparently no one did. maybe they meant everyone who saw it would shoot themselves in the face?

    sorry. i'm horrible. hahaha!
