SATC2
Üsna hästi on minu mõtted kokku võtnud The Frisky kolumnist Jessica Whiteman selles artiklis, nii et ma ise siis ei kirjuta sel teemal pikemalt, vaid kopin paar rida. Teate küll, kellest ma räägin…
You know what gets people worked up on the internet? Not children going to bed hungry. Not murderers and rapists who never see the inside of a jail cell. Not people who abuse animals. No, it’s “Sex and the City 2” that makes people lose their flippin’ minds.

…to acknowledge “we all need a bit of escapism sometimes.” Yes, escapism. You know, like all those men who would emigrate to Canada before they’d pick up an Uzi themselves, but are all too happy to spend $10 a pop on the latest “Die Hard With Aliens And Guns And Robots And Megan Fox 3.”

What really irritates me is the effortless assumption of male superiority that suggests male fantasy lives are more serious and real than female ones. … It’s all trashy and silly. /—/ Watching Tarantino films about Americans scalping Nazis, or gladiators capering about in a mock-up of ancient Rome isn’t “higher” than watching women engage in competitive shopping ‘n’ bitching.

In short, the critics of ‘Sex and the City’ need to lighten up and remember that everyone has a different fantasy world.”
Ehk siis kokkuvõtvalt: igaühel on vabadus vihata, armastada, olla ükskõikne, vaadata, mitte vaadata – mina küll ei lähe kuttidele, kes näiteks Transformersite filmi kaifivad, ütlema, et olete ikka nõmedad küll. Millegipärast on aga normaalne, et kui ma kuskil valjult välja ütlen, et lähen SATC 2 vaatama, pean olema valmis võitluseks teemal «alaareng ja rumalus». Jabur.
