If you’re a woman aged 20-40, chances are you loved Sex and the City. When it first came out, it was refreshing. Women! Talking about sex! And masturbating! And having good jobs! HAVING IT ALL! 

Of course, you look back now and you’re just like “jeeez, these bitches are whiney, and what’s with Carrie’s constant squealing, and why did I ever even like Mr Big?” and then you think about the movies, and how they RUINED EVERYTHING, and it’s all a bit depressing, really. Even more depressing than the fact that we watched the first movie on a plane, and they cut out all the rude bits (including the cock-shot) so it was like a documentary on how awful women can be. Anyway, we digress.

In some of this week’s more disturbing news, it turns out that Sarah Jessica Pankhurst is planning on making more SATC-related guff, to further sully our fond memories. Except that, because the second SATC movie is widely regarded as being worse even than Gigli, it’s going to be a telly show. This is probably quite upsetting news for Blake Lively, Emma Roberts, the non-twin Olsen and Justin Bieber’s girlfriend, who were rumoured to be lined up for a prequel movie. The silver lining, we suppose, is that this film may not get made once the new series buries the franchise, because the idea of the bland one from Gossip Girl playing a young Samantha is pretty much the worst thing we’ve heard in a long while.

One of the biggest problems with the movies, the second one especially, was that they essentially parodied and belittled the characters, and suddenly they all seemed a bit sad and pathetic. With that in mind, it could be that this new series will be far too little, way too late. Way to RUIN EVERYTHING again, guys. Nice one.
