			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am so sick of the <em>Sex and the City </em>movie, and it&#8217;s not even coming out until May.</p>
<p>To be honest, I was sick of it months ago, when they were still filming, because every single day it seemed like at least three separate blogs were carrying the same half dozen new pictures from the filming of the movie, usually of Sarah Jessica Parker in  some incredibly crazy outfit.  Now they&#8217;ve moved on to promo pictures and gossip about who&#8217;s wearing what to the premiere, and I could honestly care less.  In fact, I might have to weed out some of my blogs until about a week after the premiere, just for my own personal sanity.</p>
<p>Okay, so we all know I&#8217;m too lazy to do that, but nevertheless: the thought is there.</p>
<p>Part of it is I was never a huge fan of the series in the first place.  It&#8217;s heyday was when I was in college, with basic cable.  I spent most of my college years in a really geeky dorm (because I, unsurprisingly, was a geek) and the dorm tv was usually either hooked up to the PlayStation or tuned into Cartoon Network.   The most mainstream show we watched was <em>The Practice.</em>  And frankly, even if I had HBO back them, SATC probably wouldn&#8217;t have appealed.  I&#8217;ve only gotten interested in style relatively recently; in college my reaction would have probably been more along the lines of &#8220;she spent HOW MUCH on those shoes?&#8221;</p>
<p>Still, I think I probably would have gone to see the movie if it hadn&#8217;t been hyped within an inch of its life.  It&#8217;s kind of a reverse corallation with me; the more a movie or book is talked up and hyped, the less and less I want to see it or read it.  The premier case in point is the last Harry Potter book.  I haven&#8217;t read it.  I don&#8217;t <em>want </em>to read it, because I&#8217;m so sick of all things Harry Potter.   It&#8217;s the same with SATC.  I&#8217;ve been overexposed, and now I want nothing more than for it to just go away.</p>
<p>Too bad that&#8217;s not going to happen until, like, June.  At least.</p>
