[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved SATC when I was in my 20s. Liked the first movie, loathed the second.

After reading this thread and some of the reviews, I very tentatively watched AJTL Ep 1. Like another PP said, I skipped forward through certain parts (Miranda’s class in Law school, the masturbation scene, maybe a couple others) that were just so cringey. But, while I’ll say it certainly wasn’t good, I wouldn’t say it was a complete waste of time. It was kind of nice to be back in that universe again, in the same way it was always escapist fluff. Miranda is embarrassing, and she was always my favorite.

I did like the podcast host telling Carrie she couldn’t just sit there and giggle the whole time.  Sort of encapsulated the issue with the reboot — they’re not cute anymore. [/quote]

I think SJP and her character CB both have chronically attempted to play cute, for years. I don't think it has ever played well because it seems compensatory, as if she ingratiates herself to garner the amount of attention and care she desires/requires. Or to balance her great needs for control and impression management. Both the actress and the character share this tendency. I think the moment of delayed response when she saw Big on the floor is one example of how emotionally she just gets it wrong sometimes. A lot of exaggerated affectation. I think the character thinks she is far more adorable than she is....and it's hard to play cute in your 50's. [/quote]

Thanks for verbalizing everything I've been feeling.  her shtick wasn't cute when she was in her 20s/30s, either.[/quote]
