      Studios Bet Big on R-Rated Comedies

      (Newser) - Movie studios are gambling on R-rated comedies more than ever as audiences open up to raunchier humor and stars push to showcase their talent in a less restricted setting, the AP reports.

      Lusty She-Chimps Emulate SATC

      (Newser) - New research into the sex lives of chimpanzees compares the behavior of females to their  peers in the urban jungle of Sex and the City. Female chimps are promiscuous, hoping to fool several male Mr. Bigs into thinking they fathered offspring, and noisy, to attract other partners. Dominant males are more likely to protect females and provide child care if they think they're the dad. But the females turn secretive around female rivals, reports the Daily Telegraph . More »

      Sex Success Bodes Well for Chick Flicks

      (Newser) - The studios were wowed by the huge turnout for Sex and the City , and a slew of sisterly imitations could follow, Variety reports.

      Sex Backlash Is Mostly Sexist

      (Newser) - The masses have spoken: Sex and the City is a success, a tentpole, and with a $56 million opening weekend, a blockbuster even. But if you hear men talk about it, you’d think it was the most horrible thing to ever happen to cineplexes, writes Ramin Setoodeh.

      Great Sex for Series Fans

      (Newser) - Sex and the City: The Movie will probably delight die-hard fans but disappoint others, critics say. “I am not the person to review this movie,” admits Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times—not a fan — who writes that he counted only “one line of truly witty dialogue.” Nevertheless, “this is probably the exact Sex and the City film that fans of the TV series are lusting for.” More »
