Indeed, it was just an ancillary interest, as scifi as numismatics and the Cleveland Browns. But after watching this lumbering, 146-minute imbecile colossus of a movie, I realized that the filmmakers have done the greatest genre bait-and-switch since From Dusk Til Dawn. The Sex and the City franchise, which began as a big-city relationship dramedy &#8212; and later (I&#8217;d say approximately around mid-Season 6) became the grotesque, hyper-materialist caricature of a big-city relationship dramedy &#8212; somehow metamorphosed into a science fiction with this sequel. A science fiction flick replete with fictional cartographies, temporal recursion, and a wanton, metro-biological god-being that exists both within and without of time and space. Oh, and magic shoes.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/movies\">movies<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/review\">review<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/sf\">sf<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/silly\">silly<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/io9\">io9<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/culture\">culture<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/television\">television<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/society\">society<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>slacktivist: Sex &amp; Money, part 1 &#8220;For Nehemiah, charging 1 percent was shameful usury.
