Went and saw Sex & The City tonight...
And, as per what I imagined, it was fabulous! The fashion, the witty one-liners, the drama, the laughter, the hope of finding love in the Big Apple... OMGGGGGG THE dress!!! AMAZING.
Just one thing though, and I have this problem with nearly all movies based on TV shows:
IT JUST FELT LIKE A REALLY LONG EPISODE.
Now, yes I get that they can only change SO much before it becomes something totally different, obviously they have to have the same characters, the same history, the same life setup... But still... I can't help feeling like I'm just watching it on TV again...
It was the same with The Simpson movie, sort of with Serenity (although I LOVE Firefly, so I love it anyway), and a few other films that I can't think of right now...
Does anyone else have this problem when they go to see, or hire/buy movies that are based on TV shows?

Well so was Sex & The City, really. In the last episode of the show, it didn't really wrap it all up, it left quite a bit open and unanswered. Four years later, we have that closure.
I think I'm a bit bummed about their wedding, too. It was... a let down, to not give anything away.

Eh, I got spoilerized by a friend who couldn't stop gushing about it, so no worries.

Well, in Serenity's defense, they DID kill off two main characters. Why they couldn't do that with SATC is beyond me!

Jas: I dunno if Charlotte getting impaled by a Reaver ship would've satisfied the fanbase ...

@Jas: Coz they don't wear
Vivienne Westwood/De la Renta/Louis Vuitton/Valentino dresses in Serenity.
Proven fact: You can't die in designer.

OK edit: You cannot be impaled to death in designer, halfway through saying "I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I soar."

Charlotte did shit her pants. FUCKING HILARIOUS. Her face when she does it... Shock horror. Oh, bless.
I guess 'Serenity' was different because it served as a de facto series finale. It'd be interesting to see more shows attempt to make that kind of leap; would you have paid $10 to watch a two-hour "Sopranos" finale?
