Sex and the CIty 2- Loved the Series, Hated the Movie.
I remember when the original series was playing on HBO, the name was offensive enough, then with the advent of internet and Torrents, the sequence was pretty natural, Friends, Office, Sex and the City. And I liked it, I was the closet watcher of the series, a big fan of Carrie Bradshaw inspite of her quirks, I forgave her unwilingly when she cheated on Aidan, I loved the weird and very bold Samantha inspite of her insatiable drive,In the series,Samantha had a class somehow, I still remember her dialogue after the Aidan episode, when Carrie says tht , "C'mmon Judge me, Hate me" and she replies with "Thats not my style." I loved her for it. I mean its difficult and very rare to find friends who dont judge u. You can spend years with ppl trusting them, relying on them, sharing your deepest secrets with them not knowing that they have formed an image of u, judged u and passed the sentence, worse still advertised it to the world. So Samantha was lovable from that aspect.
The thing I fail to understand is when the characters are already established, why go into the pain of re enforcing their personality traits? Carrie is indecisive, emotionally weak, self centered somehow- Aceepted. Why does she need to go to Abu Dhabi, run into Aidan to make the movie run the 2 hrs, 30 mins.. Samantha had to hurt the religous sentiments of a country ruled by its ethics to establish her openess.. the movie somehow does not make sense... its like my earlier sentiment that people should know when to stop. You made amazing 6 seasons and a decent first movie, but that is it, one cannot keep banking on the same old story. Carrie and her friends should retire peacefully now, time to move on.
One cannot and should not attach one self to anything tht makes moving on difficult. Sometimes, its worth it to enjoy the feeling till it lasts and cherish the memories than to drag it. That reminds me :
"Taarruf rog ho jaaye to usko bhoolnaa behtar
Taalluk bojh ban jaaye to usko todnaa achchha
Voh afsaana jise anjaam tak laana na ho mumkin
Use ek khoobsoorat mod dekar chhodna achchha"
PS: Applicable to everything that drags one down, makes one feel down or hurts one. The only person U have to live with for the rest of ur lives is U, why compromise?

Nice to see your attitude is still not changed. You are one of the most consistent people I know. Just for the record, its not that easy to move on for everyone.
