Was just wondering how a thread hadn't been started on this one yet.

Wish there was a more ensemble vibe from the preview. There's a lot of, um, talent in this cast that didn't even show up in any of that footage.

Still, 21 Jump Street made me actually not dread the idea of Channing Tatum being at the center of this.

TBH, that trailer is a huge buzzkill. Is the whole thing about his relationship with junior stripper's sister?

i kind of hope ol' steve spends the rest of his career working his way through every sub-subgenre out there.

it's like a 2012 pretty woman innit?

not that i really want to see any of them, more that it's just pleasant to think of a steven soderbergh campus sex comedy starring former american idols and members of the u.s. curling team in 2015.

Ready to give Pettyfer best supporting actor award already.

Don't mind Tatum at all, especially if he treats me like Elton John.

Very much ready to see Tatum grinding to "Pony."

Each of my gay irl friends that I've discussed the movie agreed with me, tho, that Tatum is maybe the least attractive member of this movie's stripper troupe. To gay men, anyway.

jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Thursday, 19 April 2012 13:08 (1 year ago) Permalink

what on earth is a pettyfer -- is it something gay men wear around their waists to protect their virtue?

nah -- McConaughey is by far.

Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 19 April 2012 13:12 (1 year ago) Permalink

Not c. 1996. Anyway, we disqualified in on account of he's playing the Joel Grey role.

jungleous butterflies strange birds (Eric H.), Thursday, 19 April 2012 13:13 (1 year ago) Permalink

oh yeah before, say, 1998 he was ok. Now I don't think he's seen Speed Stick in years.

I didn't really expect the Step Up franchise to go in this direction

I mentioned before that my sister-in-law had a cameo in Step Up 2 as the TV reporter talking about the dancing, haven't I?

that reminds of me a song in the movie "marci x" with lisa kudrow and damon wayans called "in da butt" ?

also channing tatum is the best

per catherine deneuve, at a certain age you have to choose between your face and your ass, and i'm not convinced mcconaughey made the correct choice tbh

Haha, never heard that one before, but I think in this case, McC made the only choice he could.

Guessing this is the most profitable film of 2012: $113 mil domestic gross from a $7 million budget.

canonical casual cordouroy (Eazy), Monday, 17 September 2012 02:51 (8 months ago) Permalink

that probably depends on whether you define "most profitable" as how much more it made than its budget or how many times over it made back its budget -- i've never really been clear on which is the most popular definition

some dude, Monday, 17 September 2012 02:54 (8 months ago) Permalink

Yeah, I just mean percentage return on budget. Also just found the big number: $155 million worldwide.

canonical casual cordouroy (Eazy), Monday, 17 September 2012 02:56 (8 months ago) Permalink

no way that includes the promo budget.

thoroughly enjoyed it tho

it did make me wonder... do these places really exist? I mean, is Chippendale's still in business? the whole phenomenon of straight women going to male strip clubs seems completely unreal to me, have literally never met any women who have done this, nor do I even know where they would go - all the male strip clubs I'm aware of are 100% gay.

There's a big strip club in Windsor that's quite famous because they can get away with full frontal nudity and the American strip clubs can't. My bridal party wanted to go there for my bachelorette party but I didn't want too because it seemed pretty unappealing to me -- someone who had been there once told me you could see the crabs jumping off the guys' pubes.

Ulna (Nicole), Thursday, 21 February 2013 19:58 (3 months ago) Permalink

there's a huge srip club off the freeway on my drive to work, for a while it was right next to a huge billboard for a Tahoe Casino advertising LOOSE SLOTS

I would believe that Windsor strippers would have crabs.

I think there is a male stripper night at a Toronto strip club here but otherwise the men are only in gay clubs. As a lady myself the only one I've ever been to had female strippers, I went with a lesbian friend who'd just suffered a breakup. :)

i finally saw this and mostly dug it. Morbs otm that the more serious it gets the more of a drag it becomes. it didnt really earn the Saturday Night Fever ending

cody horn gave one of the most annoying performances i've seen in a while. even when she's not saying anything in the single intonation she's capable of, she's making weird shapes with her dumb mouth and looking vacant and naggy and basically driving me insane

turds (Hungry4Ass), Wednesday, 24 April 2013 21:00 (1 month ago) Permalink

one of the funniest things about it was kevin nash looking like he didnt even rehearse any of the dances. there was one point where all the guys were doing their coordinated routine and he's the only one whose lower body is completely motionless.

His incompetence at stripping was absolutely mesmerizing.

i saw this a while back and liked it quite a bit. there was something really compelling to me about the naturalistic and easy way people would interact with each other...it felt almost improvised but didn't have that weird halting thing that so much improvised dialogue does.

I lost my shit at that scene where Tatum bitches out the other guy for messing with the protective seals on his dashboard chrome.
