The duo didn’t want to discuss this or indeed admit that recently they declared a day of guilty pleasures due to both bad weather and bad hangovers. Bacon sandwiches followed by endless MTV and then a film or two was the order of the day… But what theme would the films be curated by? In the 70’s we had Bennie hill to suit an impromptu tasteless mood. Today (for one half of the Lunatic Duo) we have Sex and the City (cue kazoo music) .
Like a scene from a classic ‘Carry On’ film, the ‘40 something’ clothes whores constantly make innuendo jokes and nothing statements, achieve nothing in a plot that does nothing…all wrapped up in a bout of self ernst and seriousness that makes us want to jump off the nearest bridge…yet, like a moth from a flame we keep coming back…a true guilty pleasure.
Recently we were unlucky enought to see 2010s worst film, Sex and the City 2 where they goto Marrakech, oh no sorry, Abu Dhabi (?!?!). The whole film is an trainwreck of egos, botox, jimmy choo’s and cocktails, but there is also one section that really got us groaning/picking our jaws up off the floor, was where our leads meet 4 local women who wear burka’s but underneath are prada-ed up! Politically don’t get us started about this but it highlights how clueless (on so many levels) SATC are. Overall the lunatic duo can’t help but think the film is Americas attempt to make peace with the east, and there are so many references about women being the same the world over it made us want to hurl - as if by making sex city2 its gonna build bridges to any of these problems (middle east and women’s rights)! Ho ho! Those American folk are so amusing! The makers honestly thought their film would stop wars and change the world. Instead they made a film that we watch because its rubbish when we’re hungover…
