MAGIC MIKE, the male stripper movie starring channing tatum, matthew mcconaughey, dir. Steven Soderbergh

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."

Very much ready to see Tatum grinding on my 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.

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

Tatum is maybe the least attractive member of this movie's stripper troupe

nah -- McConaughey is by far.

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

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

i can't keep track of the euphemisms and non-euphemisms here

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

xpost Just enjoy the ride.

(The new Step Up is the only other movie I'm as excited to see this summer as this one. Tru story.)

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?

Did she dance about talking, too?

Holy cow this Pettyfer dude is sure is handsome.

haha she did not

Tatum is maybe the least attractive member of this movie's stripper troupe

otm he looks like a doofus

which is nagl

well, the thing is that he IS A doofus

yeah

it's sad that he's a doofus

lol i remember this scene, she was talking about the fictitious Baltimore subway system!

I can't stop looking at pics of that other guy now though. Wow.

Alternate suggested title for Magic Mike:

looking kinda haggard in the face these days imho

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.

totally works in the context of this role though

Channing Tatum is so not my type but I can get with this.

Buff, Oily and Raw should be a boy band

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

probably the only Channing Tatum movie I have anticipated and wd willingly watch

i want to see this but channing tatum still looks like a talking wax statue to me

http://i.imgur.com/z33QD.jpg

whys he holding magic don juan's goblet

why indeed

He probably stinks of BO and cocoa butter

channing tatum reminds me of a ventriloquist dummy, or like...idk...jaime in get smart

like his head is going to start smoking if he has to talk for too long

steven soderbergh's rolodex must be really fucking out there

XXL is definitely much better than the first, and the first was good

Yep, June and July are fine. August is problematic.

no dog days in this one, really.

saw xxl a couple of weeks ago and it's a blast. it's hilariously stakes-free (the event they're road-trippin' towards isn't even a competition!) but the cast have really good chemistry and it's fun just to hang out with them for a couple of hours. joe mangianello's gas-station strip is all-time.

rewatched the first one, forgot that the supporting strippers hardly do anything but dance (save for the Pettyfer-Bomer "I love YOU, man" drug scene, which wd have led to a pansexual quadrilateral in a pr0n).

Best thing about the movie.

i meant "gyrate in a ridiculous fashion"

like this?

bingo

Fella that was in the mood.

i liked Tatum's first dance in his house in XXL better than any in the first.

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 still laugh whenever I flash back to Nash's pathetic strip game.

he's there for the grizzled-daddy lovers, and the jokes

do any of you guys have a decent amateur strip style? my birthday is only 7 months away.

I am an excellent bathroom mirror working girl.

Super entertainment, as good if not better than the other studio stuff I've seen this year. The cheapo attitude -- no name director, same cast, no script besides routines and one-liners that sound improvised -- is just what this concept needed (no Pettyfur already a plus).

I forgot Matt Bomer was in the original. Fuck Matt Damon for saying an out gay actor would never convince anyone he can play a part. Guess it helped that he's playing the gayest straight male stripper.

what was that about matt damon?

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/matt-damon-gay-actors-closet-827767

yeah he's been on a roll lately

I like him but oof man stop talking maybe

Refreshing to watch a movie by white dudes who show curiosity in black women.

Kevin Nash was an extremely broken down wrestler who once tore his quad while running across the ring, so yes it's pretty funny he's in these movies.

I think Tatum or Soderbergh or somebody said that Nash's character is a stripping "Lifer" who just doesn't try anymore, isn't good for anything else etc.

Now a Broadway-bound stage musical!

it turns out me and mark s watched this the same week (this week)

XXL i mean

a copy should be be graven on a golden blu-ray and sent beyond the stars as a testament to the argument that once there was goodness in humankind

that and the rock hard abs obv

No mention of the new film here in a few weeks?
