With all the hype around the new Sex and the City movie, people everywhere can’t help but try and guess what will happen. Expectations are high and everyone has a different idea of what the movie will be like. A few members of our staff sound off on exactly what think will happen.
What do I expect from Sex and the City? Call me “out of touch with pop culture,” but I expect an R-rated Oxygen movie of the week. I’ve seen the damn show numerous times and I just don’t get it. Maybe it’s because I’m a dude. If the movie is anything better than such pre-menopausal crap as The Wedding Date, I’d be “pleasantly surprised.” — Jeff Gross, staff writer
Shoes: they’re on every character’s mind, all the time, every day. Carrie, along with the other three women, stop dead in their tracks to eye a beautiful, new pair of pumps in the windows of some of the top retailers in New York City. I’d love to see some fashionable, elegant, crazy styles show up in the movie to not only satisfy the characters longing for beautiful foot fashion, but to also wow! the audience with the film’s fashion-forward style. — Lauren Shapiro, staff writer
Perhaps I’m just being cynical, but I’m positive that the movie will be simply a self-parody done up as a series ending blowout. I’m sure Samantha will find true love, Charlotte will finally have a baby, Miranda’s safe world with Steve will be rocked, and Mr. Big will do something nasty to Carrie. All they can do is undo the last episode and do it up differently, anyway. — Paul Hartley, staff writer
It’s been four years since Sex and the City last aired, and New York City has gotten tired. The fabulous foursome should move to Champaign-Urbana to spice things up a bit. Picture this: Big and Carrie’s wedding in the Union, Charlotte walking her daughter in the quad, Miranda’s law firm moving to Lincoln Hall, and Samantha having sex in the Morrow Plots. — Hallie Borden, staff writer
As a true lover of the show, I want the movie to end in the feel-good way that the series ended— Carrie and Big end up together in holy-matrimony, Charlotte finally has a biological child, Miranda and Steve cope with the familial issues that comes with life in Brooklyn (but stay together throughout), and Samantha still has an exciting, fulfilling sex life—and maybe stays faithful to Smith. I am excited to see all the controversy (who’s cheating on who, who gets pregnant…etc.), but I love the characters and I want a happy ending. -- Janice McDuffee, Food and Arts Editor

I'm hoping for a wacky, postmodern FROM DUSK TILL DAWN-esque surprise ending where, at the 45-minute mark, the plot turns away from fulfilling all the generic expectations of their regular fan base to having the girls become the last 4 homo sapiens on earth who decide to break into all the military bases in America to gather enough ammo to mow down all the vampires, werewolves, zombies, and killer clowns assailing them.
If that happens, I pledge to rate this best movie of 2008.
