SATC is awful, I tried to dip in a few times when I was younger but I've never understood the fuss
I haven't seen BG since the 1st film, that wasn't that great either

Yes! Is there anybody out there is so well written, the new one … not so much.
I watched the first BJ film and thought it might have worked as a sitcom rather than a feature film. It's all the same boring formula as used in the days of Jane Austen - woman has some mild adventures and makes some funny observations, but ultimately gets her validation from a man in some way. In the original vesions that was via marriage. In later versions it's through boyfriends. In the likes of Fleabag, it's through sex.
I just watched all three recently, I enjoyed the first, second was utter rubbish and I thought the third was just awful however it at least had a semi decent ending that tied things up. When I read about this new one (apologies, I'd said third one but I meant the upcoming fourth one) I thought it sounded like a film that you would cringe whilst watching it, I think it will struggle without one of the main characters and they should have just left it as it ended on film three.Apparently, the upcoming Bridget Jones film has Leo Woodall and Chiwetel Ejiofor as Bridget’s love interests, with Hugh Grant lurking in the background, but Colin Firth is not in the pictureMark Darcy is dead
Renée Zellweger, 55, to 'date Leo Woodall', 27, in Bridget Jones 4
Bridget Jones is back, and now we know who's coming with her...metro.co.uk
Now this is probably OT, but for the life of me, I cannot understand why they would do that? They replaced Hugh Grant with Patrick Dempsey for the third one, and fair play to them, the third film was actually better than the second one, but nobody wants the fourth without Mark Darcy. It’s so unnecessary
It’s like GoT and SATC all over again - and just like that, let’s kill the franchise and piss on the original.

Bridget living happily ever after with Mark. That should have been it. I'm sure the vast majority of people who have seen the films have not read the book so they will all be asking where's Mark and then being pissed off to discover he's dead.
Exactly. I hadn't read the books but had seen the first and second films years ago but not the third so I watched them in order. I definitely think it should just stay ended after the third one, I can't see it being popular without Mr Darcy.
Loved the sequel cos I can’t help loving almost everything she writes but yeah…where did that come from? Wasn’t believable at all. I think she needs to stop with sequels, the kids are getting old enough for their own books if she wants to keep the family going.
Sorry but I can’t stop laughing to myself about this. The Bridget Jones extended universe.
I love the first Bridget Jones book. I first read it in my late teens and it was such a revelation that other women feel the same insecurities. (It still blows my mind that the current generation actively seek bigger bums).
I had the film sound track on cd, happy days

.The Mark Kermode review (rant) about the Sex and the City 2 movie will never be forgotten by me. One of his best.
I loved the first two Bridget Jones books, re-read them quite a bit as "palate cleansers" and my dog-eared copies will always have a place on my bookshelf (I am an absolute sucker for fictional diaries. Actually, non-fictional ones too!).
I just couldnt get behind the casting of Renee Zellweger as her in the films. Why not a British actress? (Yeah, I know box office, money and all that). I think I've only seen the first film which is alright, I'll watch it if there's nothing else on. I read the third book but didn't really like it.
Does anyone else see similarities between Miranda and Bridget Jones? Especially the mothers!

It's interesting to see who else was considered for the role. I've not read the books, so only know Bridget as Renee's ditzy portrayal, yet I can imagine Kate Winslet and Helena Bonham Carter having been closer to Helen Fielding's original vision. https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/movies/the-actors-who-almost-played-bridget-jones-090206467.html
I read the first BJ book when it came out and thought it was pish. At the time I would have been single-ish, 20s, Marlboro smoking, Chardonnay drinking all the usual. I read it again after seeing the film and liked it better second go around.
They should have left it there.

The thing with SATC was it was pretty revolutionary at the time. A show not just about women (with men very much secondary characters), but women enjoying sex lives just like men, showing what women want, successful careers, what they like etc.
It was also pretty advanced in having gay representation (although now it seems quite stereotypical)

Anyone seen the video of the bloke nibbling the child’s ear behind Stephen Hendry on live tv?!
I did enjoy it, but I didn’t think it was anywhere near as good as the first one. I can imagine though how difficult it is to develop new characters, when she’s got a ready made set of fairly well developed ones at hand.
the Helen one was always going to be a tricky one, because there’s no obvious plot for her, though I’d have quite liked her to be free and single rather than coupled up like the rest of them! I’m not sure who I’d want to see next, but I’d be surprised if another one didn’t include the death of one of their parents.
Yes, it's absolutely vile isn't it.Anyone seen the video of the bloke nibbling the child’s ear behind Stephen Hendry on live tv?!
