Sex and the City 2

Wow, my first blog. I never thought I would see the day where I, Gabby Siskind, had a blog. But I must say, it's pretty cool. I get to design my own page and write about whateverrr I want. In school you are given essay topics, told which books to read, what articles to research.. but not on my blog.

I have lived in Maryland for my entire life. I grew up in Baltimore and now I go to the University of Maryland. That's 19 years of living in the same place. And while I can't complain, I often dream of life in a big city, like New York. I would have to say that it's my dream to live there. That being said, I cannot deny my obsession with Sex and the City. I own the entire series and have seen every episode at least three times. I also own the first movie and have seen it more times than I can count. The other day my mom and I went to see the second movie, which recently came out. I was very skeptical. The first movie ended so well-- Big and Carrie were finally together and all of the loose ends were tied up. Also, the trailer seemed to show all of the good parts, something I hate. Seriously, don't show me the entire movie before I have even seen it. Needless to say, walking into Sex and the City 2, my expectations were very low.



However, when I left the movie I was pleasantly surprised. Sure, the fashion was a tad over the top and I would never be caught dead in one of those ridiculous hats Carrie wore. But, despite a previous movie that ended so well, I thought the plot was great. Essentially, the writers made something out of nothing. I liked that there wasn't a ridiculous story line that did not fit who the characters were. For example, I would have never wanted to see Samantha settle down and get married because that's just not who she is. On the other hand, Charlotte being overwhelmed by her two daughters and motherly responsibilities was much more feasible. And once again, the movie ended happily ever after.

Is there the possibility of a third one? Definitely. Will they actually make a third one? I honestly hope not. A second movie was pushing it. Sex and the City needs to end while it's ahead. And thats coming from a true fan.
