I can still remember the feeling I had watching the second movie in the cinema. A mixture of second-hand embarrassment, severe disappointment and abject fear.

By the time it got to the bit where the muslim women all reveal their designer clothes under their niqabs (sorry if I’ve got that term wrong, haven’t seen the movie for years and can’t remember exactly what they were wearing), I had shrunk so low in my seat that I struggled to get back up again.

It’s one of the most racist, misogynist and anti-Islam movies of our lifetime in my opinion. You’d have thought SATC would become more culturally sensitive over time, not less!

Was is the second movie where we got a full shot of random dick?I hated all those parts with the Muslim women so cringe
 
You know, the second movie was a carpet-bombing of utter garbage. Just non-stop dogshit, start to finish. But the bit that always stands out to me isn't one of the high-level things like Sam Jones turning into some kind of horny dementia patient, the equivocating between "I have to live in a 2nd apartment sometimes because I hate my sugar daddy" and "I literally can't afford to see my wife" or even the toe-curling "Ha ha, Islamic women can be consumerist husks as well! Feminism!" reveal.

It's the bit at the start, with the gay wedding, where Carrie's having a "moment" with Stanford, except they couldn't be arsed writing dialogue so they just padded it out with gurning and chuckling at each other for what feels like hours. Always puts me in mind of Kevin Eldon's cameo in I'm Alan Partridge, and is an amazingly "Fuckit, this'll do" piece of low-effort filmmaking. I dunno why it offends me so much.

I always just thought that wedding/relationship was ridiculous, it's like they just had the 2 only (main) gay characters and threw them together, didn;t seem believable

Oh I don’t know, I think I might have forgotten any dick shots in favour of remembering all the bits that made me angry!:D

YES. The whole gay wedding is an abomination too. “Oh haha we’re both soo rich and we’re choosing to spend all our money on this sparkly Liza Minelli festival because we’re GAY didn’t you know?! All we do is throw out sassy one-liners because we’re just the gay best friends!”

You can tell the writers attempted to give some kind of gravitas to the concept of putting Stanford and Anthony together after literally mocking the idea that they’d get along/be attracted to each other just because they’re both gay in the show, but it completely failed.

Stanford and Marcus were so cute together. I like the scene where they get back together at the ‘prom’ (Boy Interrupted).

One of my favourite SaTC episodes, you also have a brilliant cameo from David Duchovny.

So disappointing how they choose to pair up Stanford and Anthony. SaTC was progressive for its time in depicting gay relationships/dating through Stanford but that was just regressive. The silver lining, though, was Carrie's best man tux which I did love: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_7K5SToTPV...KwqF_A8/s1600/carrie+bradshaw+as+best+man.jpg

What was with the headpiece she wore with the suit though, looked something for Halloween 😂

What about when she told Aiden that she wouldn’t drop Big as a friend (quite a reasonable request when you’ve had an affair with said friend) as they were simply too important to each other. Aiden would simply have to get over it.
She was abusive.

Why was he so nice to her throughout she was was such a selfish witch!!! Pete knew it from the start when he ate her sandals 😂
 
Finished my rewatch. Here is my list of people who deserved better:

Skipper - they were so mean to him just for being a bit geeky.

Natasha - she was so lovely and kind and they just ripped her life apart.

Aiden - he put up with a lot of tit from Carrie, I'd have walked way earlier than he did. She didn't deserve that beautiful ring.

Smith - again, absolute sweetheart who deserved a happy ending and he put up with Samantha being so cold for a long time.

Robert- he was a great catch and didn't deserve to be cheated on.

Feel free to add to the list!

Steves girlfriend Debbie who has the temerity to have ‘Acrylic shoes and nails’. Seems really sweet and kind but gets dumped as soon as Miranda curls a finger in Steve’s direction.

I also thought Tre got treated pretty badly, he made it clear that Charlotte’s fertility issues weren’t a problem for him and that he was content for them to be child free. He then got dumped for not going along with an international adoption- that he wasn’t even consulted on.
Not forgetting that Charlotte had previously snogged the family gardener and humiliated him in front of his family however it was apparently justified, - as Charlotte hadn’t had sex for 2 whole months!
Imagine if it was the other way round.
