Superfluous 'Sex and the City' Sequel Sets a Date

It's an easy argument to make, I suppose: I hated Sex and the City because I'm a guy. Well, that's not 100% accurate. I didn't hate it. I certainly didn't like it very much, but I didn't hate it. And the reason I didn't like it very much is because it was clear even during the last season of the show that they were completely out of ideas. That's why the movie has the exact same primary arc as season seven. I didn't like the movie because it was a repeat performance of stuff that was mostly uninteresting the first time. But the movie made a ton of moolah, so now the sequel has been announced for a May 28, 2010 release. So bully for Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and the other one. Perhaps you're thinking I'm just hating on the movie and the show because it appeals to women, and again, that's not true. I disliked Indiana Jones for primarily the same reason: There's no story left. Among other flaws, both movies fell victim to the Scrappy Doo Principle, which states that when you're out of ideas, toss in a fresh new character to liven things up. It doesn't work. Mutt Williams wasn't a great fit in Indy and the Jennifer Hudson character that did absolutely nothing was a washout in Sex and the City. It didn't work when the Keatons had a kid late in the run of Family Ties, it didn't save Different Strokes, and don't even get me started on Fonzie's kid. Hudson says she wants to come back, and if that happens, it's even more proof that this movie won't be very inspired. Another example of why they should just hang it up is that the film will apparently do some filming in London. Curiously, the famed New York comedy had its world premiere in London, which never made any sense, and now they're thinking of taking the show on the road. I've got five words for you there: The Brady Bunch in Hawaii. It's more evidence that the characters you want to see are beyond their usefulness. If they weren't, we wouldn't have Jennifer Hudson and we wouldn't be going across the pond.
