Sex and the City/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Do Not Do This Cool Thing]]

** [[The Movie]] ostensibly had a message about rejecting the importance of labels (in both senses of the word), despite large chunks of the movie which are practically in-movie commercials for designer labels. The orgiastic display of wedding dresses ''alone''... In a larger sense, the series as a whole falls victim to this. We're supposed to be at least somewhat horrified by the narcissism and shallowness that's all-too-frequently on display, but the characters and their environment are a bit too glamorous for the "moral" to really take. Bushnell's original columns were considerably more trenchant in their appraisal of their social milieu.

** An even better example of this is a first season episode where Miranda is assumed to be gay by a co-worker, who sets Miranda up with a female date for a company event. At the end of the episode, she considers how life would be much easier if she were a lesbian, testing this by kissing her same-sex date.

* [[Hollywood Homely]]: Miranda, though men aren't put off by her looks so much as her powerful career and a demeanor that intimidates and emasculates them (however, at least one guy in-show ''really'' finds that attractive). Harry arguably qualifies as well, as he's portrayed almost as a hideous beast at times.
