On Celibacy and the City
Sex and the City has finally run its course, occasioning a wave of nationwide grief and tear-stained nostalgia (or so the newspaper tells me). Here in the real world it doesn't seem to have been that big of a deal.
My view: The writing was superb, character development deftly excellent (though Sarah Jessica Parker's character was not much like a real columnist says real columnist Kerry Dougherty), and the concept was an atrocity. This is our culture?? This is how we want history to see us -- or at least what we flock to as sophisticated entertainment? Good riddance Carrie, Samantha, Miranda, and Charlotte (oh, and all those guys); don't let the door hit your wiggling butts on the way out.
