Sex and the Angelika



The theater chain gets in on the farcical SEX AND THE CITY promo racket.

If “you’ve ever sat around and wondered why you can’t make your living writing sex columns, or looked in the mirror and sworn you were Samantha Jones’ long lost twin,” then chances are you scare me to death. But good news––you’re eligible for a contest!

The Angelika, once a bastion of New York indie filmgoing***, now a collection of poorly laid-out screening rooms (most of them contain not a single seat with a decent view of the screen if the house is full) perched on top of a subway station (yay, rumbling!) is inexplicably pushing a Sex and the City promotional contest. The details after the jump!!!

Patrons are invited to either write their own Carrie Bradshaw-style column, or dress up like their favorite character - send us your column or your photo, and we’ll pick our favorites. One winner in each category gets $150 in Angelika Cinemoney and their entry featured on this blog. Two runners up in each category get $75 worth of Cinemoney.

As Monaghan points out, the part of the rules that bans submission of “pornographic” writing samples or photos is a pretty funny element to a sex writing/slutty lady look-a-like contest, especially since “The Angelika Film Center reserves the right to define said terms at its discretion.” That said, that discretion is pretty unlikely to have to come into play, assuming those enticed to participate in this contest are roughly the same demographic targeted by earlier SAtC promotions. Tweens, soccer moms, SJP brand devotees –– whose sex life do you *least* want to hear about/see reflected in a dress-up pic?

***Yes, I know there are Angelicas in other cities. The same blog post informs that the Texas Angelicas serve booze, which is never a bad thing. But still…
