Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex And The City
New Line Cinema

Chick fatigue: If I never see Sarah Jessica Parker in another goofy outfit again, it will be too soon.

When asked recently to describe what kinds of movies I like, I found myself explaining that once upon a time, I owned VHS copies of just about every high-profile romantic comedy — good or bad — that had come out since I was a teenager. And that, at some point, my ability to appreciate them, and new movies like them, had dropped off.

I never had any interest in Sex And The City, so clearly, my estrangement from the girl-movie genre is nearly complete. And while I've griped about some of the reasons why, I think Jessica Barnes' piece at Cinematical is the best and most thorough outline of the problem I've seen yet.
