Sex And The City

Why are so many of us looking to Sex and the City to probe our deepest desires?Outside Vancouver's premier downtown multiplex June 1, gaggles of women waited to plunk down their $12.50 for Sex and the City: The Movie. They'd dressed up. Sadly, this is the West Coast, just about as far away as you can get from Manhattan yet remain in cosmopolitan North America. So by "dressed up," I mean that the women had donned their most fashionable flip-flops, jeans and t-shirts. There wasn't a Blahnik in sight let alone a Payless pump.

Do you think the movie or TV show Sex and the City offer us any insight into our "deepest desires and failures"? Do you agree with the writer that SATC fuels the third-wave feminist conversation? If so, how? How does SATC "collectively reflect on the state of modern marriage; our marriages?" Is there a theological statement contained within SATC? How should the church engage with it?
