《色慾都市2.0》 老是常出現

文:游大東
更新日期:2025年6月6日

Now TV - HBO Max - And Just Like That

從前「做仔嗰陣」自命新潮,認為鍾情「新嘢」乃天經地義,緊貼潮流幾近本能。每逢聽到「舊嘢」,尤其是影視作品,總會按捺不住的「先藐而後快」,暗笑世人只懂回味過去,不懂擁抱未來。將所有熱愛懷舊者視為「老海鮮」:守舊、落伍、自願與時代脫節,簡而言之是「人嘅問題」。

直至近幾年踏入四字頭,才真正意識到「睇舊嘢」並沒有錯,能夠「食到老本」更非必然,以往不明白純粹因為「少年真的太年輕」,如今「一理通馬國明」,就知道「講舊時,有價有市」從來不是笑話!假如認清這一點,就會理解為何有些劇集「老是常出現」,拍極都仲有得拍。最新例子是,1998年6月6日橫空出世、震撼萬千劇迷的「HBO經典」《色慾都市》(Sex and the City,簡稱SATC),經過27年的光陰洗禮,其後後後後後後續《色慾都市2.0》(And Just Like That…,簡稱AJLT) 的第三季剛於5月29日在HBO Max (前稱Max)上架。

對,你沒眼花,是第三季。我跟朋友講笑咁話:2016年推出後奉為「Netflix神作」、今年年底將會步入歷史的《怪奇物語》(Stranger Things)也快要成為Gen Z的集體回憶時,比它歷史更悠久的《SATC》仍然有「後後後後續」。值得一提的是,《AJLT》首季於2021年12月初推出時,坊間評價毀譽參半:根據爛番茄(Rotten Tomatoes)數據,影評人評分僅得48%,觀眾評分更跌至27%,如今能夠繼續「添食再添食」,乍聽之下確實有幾分匪夷所思。

另一個對於香港觀眾來說頗為難以置信的,是角色和演員的真實年紀。想當年幾位才30出頭、身穿無數靚鞋靚衫,在New York City叱吒風雲的「SATC三人組」(別再提Kim Cattrall飾演的Samantha Jones了,自己上Google找答案吧,乖)轉眼已經「登六」(Carrie Bradshaw生於1966年6月15日,快將五十有九),符合資格申請樂悠咭,但身兼主演和監製的Sarah Jessica Parker與Cynthia Nixon決定在另一位監製Michael Patrick King有份創作的劇本上全力「自肥」──按照現有發展,我猜Kristin Davis飾演的Charlotte York也很難有甚麼機會情海翻波──好讓自己在鏡頭面前「有心有力」的談情說性。十年人事幾番新,但《AJLT》的幾位「故人」桃花依舊,正正是「橋唔怕舊,最緊要受」的最佳寫照。

上周五(5月30日),即《AJLT》第三季第一集上架後翌日,我獲邀出席在上環Soho House舉行的《AJLT》特別放映會,在完全沒有收看第二季(當然一邊看一邊問朋友Carrie的前男友、John Corbett飾演的Aidan Shaw何時出現),腦袋一片空白的情況下入場觀賞第一集《Outlook Good》。我終於明白為何由《SATC》到《AJLT》,這個故事由誕生至今廿多年之後,依然能夠拍下去。

先簡單說說劇情,重點有二:(1)Carrie與Aidan復合後,為了陪伴幼子,Aidan需要返回家鄉而再一次與Carrie暫時分開,這對異地黃昏戀繼續靠電話以聲音傳情,情到濃時甚至要來一場Phone Sex。(2)Miranda Hobbes(Cynthia Nixon)與Steve Brady(David Eigenberg)離婚後,又與Che Díaz(Sara Ramirez)分手,兜兜轉轉又再單身的Miranda,在夜店偶遇來自加拿大的Mary(Rosie O’Donnell)。在對方主動邀請下,Miranda到酒店與她共度春宵,但沒想過原來Mary既是處女更是修女,當Miranda不斷收到來自Mary的短訊時,下定決心快速斬纜。

Carrie玩phone sex?唔係吖嘛?!想歪一點隨時變成「六十路」AV。奇就奇在,看《AJLT》的時候,絲毫不覺得有任何違和感和厭惡感,心中的答案直接得不能再直接:「因為呢套係《Sex and the City》囉,阿叔阿姨阿伯阿嬸唔可以有性生活咩?!」

說到底,這個IP着實太成功,整個主創團隊都明白,在傳統媒體時代大紅大紫的《SATC》爛船不止三斤釘。那些累積N年得來的「感情分」去到今天還是如此效益宏大,只要她們繼續演下去,追隨了廿幾年的劇迷都會「自我情勒」,繼而照單全收,因為「熟悉」和「陪伴」勝過「創新」。加上現代都市愛情與友情、家庭倫理與兩性關係的主題從來長青,在全球都鬧劇本荒的情況下,豈有不怕的理由?何況《AJLT》故事和人物太入屋,相比4月中旬推出、同樣在HBO Max上架的《最後生還者》(The Last of Us)第二季,前者就算靜悄悄上架,仍有收視保證。既然宣傳費都慳返,計落又應該有錢賺,為何不讓自己「爽咗先」?!

《色慾都市2.0》第三季現於Max自選服務上架。
