Commencing at 12:01 am this Friday is opening weekend of a new Sex and the City movie, otherwise known as Burning Man for the Cosmo set.

From the 2008 Last Days column that coincided with the first SATC film release:

FRIDAY, MAY 30 "Hi, Last Days," writes Hot Tipper Amelia. "In an effort to stay out of the bars tonight, my friends and I decided to attend the 12:30 showing of the Sex and the City movie at Meridian 16, along with about a million high-school girls in uncomfortably fancy outfits. Carrie and friends appeared onscreen to squeals of delight—but about 10 minutes into the movie, a nondescript, non-bummy-looking girl across the aisle from me started vomiting, loudly and continuously for what seemed like eight minutes. It sounded like she was bailing out a sinking rowboat onto the concrete theater floor. The weirdest part was that in an incredible example of mob apathy, no one alerted the rent-a-cop or any other movie authorities. We were all punished for our silence 20 minutes later, when the puking girl's friend (who'd been calmly watching the movie) suddenly dropped trou and started pissing on the floor. She steadied herself with one hand on the seat in front of her and took a seriously long drunk pee. The whole time she was doing it, she was defiantly staring at the people across the aisle from her. Then she went to sleep and started snoring like a lumberjack. It was the weirdest thing I have ever seen. When I finally told the usher what happened, he looked to his partner, a good-looking African-American SPD officer, and said, "Washington, it's fun time." The two reappeared from the theater with two incoherent, vaguely Asian-looking young ladies, both wearing summery white dresses covered in vomit and urine. The movie was pretty good."

I look forward to more such reports from this weekend. To get us all in the mood, here's Liza Minnelli's version of "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" from the Sex and the City 2 soundtrack. It is insane.
