So…it’s a show about three hookers and their mom?

A couple of summers ago, I marveled at the fact that I had enjoyed The Devil Wears Prada more than Superman Returns. In fact, I went on to dub it “Bizarro Summer” as a result of this apparent rip in the space/time/moviegoing continuum.
Well, now it’s 2008, and I thought the Sex and the City movie was vastly superior to the lackluster Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Welcome to Bizarro Summer II. I expect to have my Geek License revoked any day now.

Well, yeah, but see Superman Returns just wasn’t very good. Plus, there have been hints that Indiana Jones wasn’t going to be very good either (I’m waiting for it to hit our second run theaters, because I’ve convinced myself that paying two bucks to see a bad movie is fine, and paying two bucks to see a mediocre movie is FRIGGIN AWESOME!!!1!!).
As for Sex and the City, I don’t like Sex, and I’m a country boy. Both of those statements are lies. My point is, if what I’ve heard about Indiana Ford and LaBoeuf’s Excellent Adventure is true, it wouldn’t take much to make a vastly superior movie. I don’t think your Geek license gets revoked for being such a fan of Sex and the City, but your Man license might be in jeopardy (coincidentally, the Scrubs episode where JD is given Man cards by Dr. Cox was on last night).
The fact is, unless Batman is unbelievably awesome (and that’s a very likely possibility) this summer movie lineup is going to be defined by Iron Man and that’s probably it.
Being a geek doesn’t mean that you blindly love every geeky endeavor. But it does mean you anticipate it, you talk about it way more than others would like, you rush out to see the movie as soon as it opens so that you can then bore even more people, you create games about it *ahem* and you risk the wrath of CafePress to share your love of geeky things with the world. You’re gonna tell me some of those aren’t true about you? Don’t worry, my dear, your geek cred is solidly safe. A blip here and there caused by your like of chick films isn’t going to even put a dent in it. Of this I’m sure. And I beg to differ about your man card being revoked. A strong, smart man knows that keeping a toe in the pool of chickdom can only be a good thing. What good is being a man if you can’t talk to women about things most of us like? Like, uhm, sex and cities?
I’ll give you “The Devil Wears Prada,” if only because I have a crush on Anne Hathaway and was completely underwhelmed by Superman’s courageous battle against a rock.
But “Sex and the City” over Indy? Hmmm… your logic escapes me. That movie had both a nuclear explosion and monkeys. How could “Sex” do any better?
