I want to see a thread/poll for deciding which director probably has the weirdest rolodex.
― Cunga, Thursday, 14 June 2012 01:37 (1 year ago) Permalink
David Lynch's is unusually mundane, probably.
Meanwhile, someone like Joe Dante or Richard Donner has one that is actually the most bizarre and hair-raising.

Let's all bow our heads in thanks to the wisdom of Chris Rock
Manganiello, who's well known as the werewolf Alcide Herveaux on the HBO series"True Blood"and recently played a buff object of envy in the movie"What to Expect When You're Expecting,"was a bit more hesitant.
"The clothes come off a lot on 'True Blood' so there was a sense of 'OK, when am I going to have my shirt on again?'" Manganiello, 35, said. The actor said he consulted his "What to Expect" costar Chris Rock on the decision, telling him, "I don't know, because my shirt's off again, and I just think dudes are going to hate my guts if I don't put a shirt on soon. And Chris was like, 'Guys are going to hate your guts anyway. Brad Pitt spent 15 years with his shirt off. He's doing fine.'"

Any reason this won't be this generation's A NIGHT IN HEAVEN (which, before you say "Soderberg" I'll remind you was also directed by an Oscar winning filmmaker)?

yes, the hugely iconic John G Avildsen.
I find the default assumption that this is a junk movie premature. No one would be so ready to dismiss if this was a period piece about a brothel.

most enjoyably nonjudgmental
Gonna go ahead and call bullshit on this one, for both Boogie Nights and Magic Mike. It's no doubt possible to make a non-judgy movie about this trade, but neither BN or MM are that movie.

this was decent if ultimately unsatisfying. great fun at the start but (and you're not gonna believe this) it has a lot of probs turning the corner into being abt "serious" things

OTM. It reminded me a bit of Saturday Night Fever but it was waaaay less successful at pulling off the serious material.
― I found him in a Bon Ton ad (Nicole), Saturday, 30 June 2012 23:26 (11 months ago) Permalink
yeah i'd say this was decent enough, and it held my interest, but i probably won't remember much beyond some of the better strip routines in a few weeks/months.
some of the semi-improvished stuff between tatum and cody horn was good, but a lot of it was pretty bad. horn doesn't have the most expressive face. there were a lot of reaction shots of her where i was wondering what she was supposed to be thinking/feeling.
but i liked it well enough. i feel like soderbergh's lack of a certain kind of ambition (he seems content to take these sort of underdeveloped genre scripts and shoot them in very stylish and offhandedly convincing ways) is both an advantage and a problem, in that his films lack the sort of reach and strangeness that distinguishes a good film from an excellent one. he always seems to be measuring risk. maybe he's just aware of the limits of his talent.
i was thinking about this b/c i rewatched michael mann's heat the other day. i'd rather spend time listening to soderbergh give interviews than mann, that's for sure. and when the balance between michael mann's skill with narrative/visual style and portentousness is off i really have a difficult time w/ his films--honestly i think heat is the only place where he gets it almost exactly right. but heat is kind of ambitious and nuts and idiosyncratic than anything soderbergh has made in a genre mold, and soderbergh has and never will make anything remotely as good, even if his overall batting average is about as strong as mann's. if that makes any sense.

re: the low budget - probably also helped that there were basically 3 locations (strip club, mikes house, kid's house)
thought this was pretty ok. tatum is unexpectedly charming for a big meathead-lookin dude.
