I have never watched Sex and the City. Never wanted to. But whilst listening to Mark Kermode foam at the mouth about it today on BBC Radio 5 Live, he referred to a review by someone called Lindy West.
So, out of curiousity I googled and... well here's an extract of her review at the Seattle paper The Stranger: Titled 'Burkas and Birkins':
'SATC2 takes everything that I hold dear as a woman and as a human—working hard, contributing to society, not being an entitled cunt like it's my job—and rapes it to death with a stiletto that costs more than my car. It is 146 minutes long, which means that I entered the theater in the bloom of youth and emerged with a family of field mice living in my long, white mustache. This is an entirely inappropriate length for what is essentially a home video of gay men playing with giant Barbie dolls.'
and, here's another extract:
'..Feminism! Fuck yeah!
If this is what modern womanhood means, then just fucking veil me and sew up all my holes. Good night.'
It is an awesome review. Biting.Witty.Scathing. Run.Run to read it. Here is where you'll find it: http://www.thestranger.com/seattle/burkas-and-birkins/Content?oid=4132715
