The result of the move debate was not to move Sex and the City: The MovieSex and the City (film)The trailer clearly shows the movie has same title as the series', without "The Movie" part —Kochas (talk) 06:27, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.
  • Oppose for now per my comment below. If stronger evidence is available now or at a later date, I will happily reconsider my opinion. --Lox (t,c) 23:08, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Any additional comments:
  • I'd probably support this move, but I'd want some evidence that Sex and the City: The Movie is really a less common title for the movie than simply Sex and the City. I think that's probably true, I'd just like some evidence that it is. Andrewa (talk) 12:07, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Wikipedia has a few articles with the suffix "The Movie" and these tend to follow IMDB's naming of the film, e.g. Twilight Zone: The Movie[1] and The Transformers: The Movie[2]. Since IMDB has listed the film as "Sex and the City: The Movie"[3], I suggest we wait until stronger evidence emerges for its release as just "Sex and the City" --Lox (t,c) 23:07, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
    • We shouldn't necessarily follow IMDB or the trailer, but IMDB is probably a better test of English Usage than the trailer is. So I'm tending now towards an oppose vote. Andrewa (talk) 02:26, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
      • Yes, I think my comment may have implied following IMDB in all cases, which I don't believe is appropriate. I agree that we should follow majority usage and that this is often reflected by IMDB. --Lox (t,c) 09:48, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
  • It has been over five days, no other opinions or evidence has been provided so I am closing this discussion. --Lox (t,c) 11:05, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

[edit] Cast

On Mikhail Baryshnikov's IMDB profile he isn't listed as appearing in the movie. Is there anywhere that supports his inclusion in the cast list on this article? 77.96.169.248 (talk) 18:17, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect Undone

A user redirected the page to Sex and the City (film), against the above consensus to not move the page. I have also undone the recurring link mishap on Sex and the City main page. Kat Malone (talk) 17:07, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Because of the continued process of editing done on both Sex and the City: The Movie and Sex and the City (film) despite the above discussions, I have retagged both articles with a Merger tag. Please take another look at the content and the reasonings behind the views. Kat Malone (talk) 17:42, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Though I had nothing to do with the move, I believe the "consensus" is outdated and needs to be reopened, if not revoked altogether. It was largely based on IMDb using "The Movie" back in December; it now uses only "Sex and the City (2008)", and even the official credits merely say "Sex and the City". The proper article title should be "Sex and the City (film)", much like for Dreamgirls where Dreamgirls is the stage musical and Dreamgirls (film) is the movie. (That film, of course, is relevant thanks to Jennifer Hudson--who's the main reason I'm interested in this film despite being a heterosexual male who's only seen bits and pieces of the TV series, mainly after sleeping thru baseball games on TBS.) --RBBrittain (talk) 12:35, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

The page should be renamed to Sex and the City (film) as it can now be seen that the film dropped the 'the movie' part. Russell [ Talk ] 14:48, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
I agree with that. LeaveSleaves (talk) 15:49, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Plot veracity

Is there anyway to confirm the truthfulness of the plot? The film is yet to be released and the only way this plot is true is if there has been a leak or if the editor who added it has been to the premier in London. Would it still be alright to keep it before the release of the film? LeaveSleaves (talk) 01:01, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

And what ever happened to the decency of writing a giant SPOILER notice before giving away the whole movie??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.244.179.245 (talk) 03:22, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

See WP:SPOILER and WP:MOSFILM for reasons. LeaveSleaves (talk) 03:38, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
I think that "consensus" needs to be revisited, too. Though I think it's appropriate to include spoilers, they should be wrapped in the old "Spoiler alert" and "Spoilers end here" tags for the benefit of those who do NOT want to see the spoilers, at least until shortly after the film's release (say, one to three weeks). Wikipedia:Content disclaimer is TWO links away from each article (not one), and many people have already seen the spoilers before they see that; I don't think that's enough notice for the ordinary user. --RBBrittain (talk) 12:41, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
I presume you have gone through guidelines mentioned above. As you can understand adding another spoiler alert within the article conflicts of Wikipedia policy on disclaimers. I would also suggest perusing WP:NCD. LeaveSleaves (talk) 13:06, 31 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Montages

Can some one please make a note of montages in the film theres more then 3 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.250.49.22 (talk) 05:31, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sequel talks

Michael Patrick King has mentioned in statements here and here that he'd be interested in creating a sequel but at no point has there been any official announcement of any kind. So I see no reason to present rumors, speculations or mere interests in the article at this point. LeaveSleaves (talk) 15:20, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
