Spoiler alert.
I hate to tell you, but from everything I’ve read, seen and heard, “Sex and the City 2” is going to be a stinker. But Denver is still ready to party about it.
Let’s start with clothes worth $10,127,000 on these dames in the desert. Carrie has 49 outfits, including a $49,000 Chanel dress she wears in a karate fight.
Then comes the implausible jaunt to Dubai — which wouldn’t allow the filming, so Morocco had to stand in. And Carrie runs into former flame Aiden in the middle of a souk. Is there no limit to what people will believe? Riding camels through the desert in couture? Come on!
Yet “SATC” parties abound. The Warren Village bash at Kevin Taylor’s at the Opera House is now a public event on Friday night. Dress up and party down at KT’s after the screening at Pavilions.
Sketch hosts a “Sex” party Wednesday night. Come dressed as your favorite “SATC” character and stylist Matthew Morris and his team will do five-minute updos for their favorites.
And Suite 200 gave away 24 tickets to the real Denver premiere screening Monday night at Saturday night’s soiree.
Fresh-air flicks.
Watching a movie under a blood-red Colorado sky — that’s a nice idea.
Film on the Rocks, Denver’s best outdoor movie venue, announces its full schedule this coming week. But I know it begins with “The Hangover” with the band “Kinetix” on June 8 and ends with “Across the Universe” with a full-on star-packed live tribute to the Beatles before the screening. These mixes of a movie and a band on the rocks are a big summer hit. Tix for $10 at or any King Soopers.
And starting Monday, in honor of the late John Hughes, you can vote on which Hughes teen flick gets screened this summer: “Ferris Bueller,” “Breakfast Club” or “Sixteen Candles.” My vote? “Sixteen Candles.” Cast yours at
Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield gets into the outdoor movie businesses this summer. Because of some arrangement with the distributor, they cannot announce the lineup yet, but I can tell you: June 10, “Fantastic Mr. Fox”; July 15, “The Goonies”; Aug. 12, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.”
The best deal comes from Denver’s Parks and Recreation — 11 movies, free admission and free popcorn, snowcones and cotton candy. That’ll keep the kids awake. The movies come to six parks, starting June 12 with “Cats and Dogs” at Skyline Park.
Get the full summer movie sked next Sunday in The Denver Post’s A&E section.
Tut Tut.
The Denver Art Museum’s King Tut party, the Flappers and Pharaohs Bash on June 25, will be the party of the year. Cocktails and dancing with a sarcophagus. So why Roaring ’20s and Tut? Howard Carter discovered the boy king’s tomb in 1922. A stretch, but you get to see the exhibition before it opens to the public, and party like Steve Martin.
City spirit.
The Eagles called their Thursday night concert at Pepsi Center their “Assisted Living Tour” . . . Denver’s Daniel Cummings just landed a part on “General Hospital” . . . Sez who: “He was born in Arizona, got a condo made of stone-a, King Tut!” Steve Martin
