Racial Solidarity In The City

The Movie

I was halfheartedly joking yesterday when I guessed that there would be a lot of tactless, racially-motivated humor in the Sex and the City movie, and I was pleasantly surprised when readers who had already seen the flick declared – however cattily – that I was way off base. Turns out those readers are shameful liars.

Anthony Lane’s absolutely eviscerating New Yorker review of SATCTM reveals one rather glaring affront on the diversity that makes “the City” so damn great for those of us largely uninterested in its boutiques.

The movie was awesome. Even my husband, whom I had to friggin bribe to go see it with me, really liked it.

The line in question, as solitaire says, is much ado.

Off topic: Did anyone else notice how bad J-Huds makeup was?? In one scene (with Carrie at a bar) you could see J-Hud's cheek hyperpigmentation Other times her chin seem sweaty and bumpy. WFT???
