SATC

it seems the nation is divided... i come to this conclusion after having discussed the film with several friends of mine. given that i don't know any other guys who've actually seen the movie, only one of my friends actually thought the movie was really good. needless to say, she's not the very best at making appraisals of film, seeing as how she said that "fashion" was one of the reasons that sex and the city was so good.

so with the discussion in mind, i went to my favorite movie rating web site, and what do i see but a flabbergasting 4.8 rating for sex and the city. women say sex and the city was a "perfect" movie, men say it was a "piece of [expletive deleted]". actually, i would say ALL the voting has been skewed. women voted too highly for the film, and men voted to lowly (i suppose that's the word i'm looking for). I personally rated the film as a 6. I was certainly shocked to have seen the 4.8 rating until i looked at the voting demographics where so many more men had voted. looking at the 66 voters of the top 1000, who voted for the film, the mean was close to a 6, if you make adjustments. it's clear the film does not deserve a 1... on the other hand, neither does it deserve a 10. i mean really, as a movie the script was too predictable, the plot was lacking in creativity, and it was simply overextended. granted the "fashion" aspect may have been a factor for some women to have thought so highly of the film, but fashion is not what makes a movie...
