Strong Words Indeed

From Matt Zoller Seitz' review of "Sex and the City 2":

"Sex and the City 2" is more than harmless escapism. It's an accidental candid snapshot of the sick, dying heart of America, a film so pleased with its vacuous, trashy, art-free extravagance that its poster should be taped to the dingy walls of terrorist sleeper agents worldwide.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is why they hate us."
