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

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

"oh sorry, wen jiang, i meant to call sasha grey."

not apropos to Messrs. Soderbergh or McConaughey but to another post/picture in this thread: that funny Chinese movie title is really "love in the buff"

You guys hating on Big Mac is just sad

you stanning for him is v amusing :)

just keep livin'

(I hardly see any of his films, is the key)

i'm not hating on Wooderson, yo! though i've also never watched any of his chick-flick/beefcake films.

hey, i love mcconnaughey. and hes actually doing good/interesting work these days too

lookin at Sotosyn

steven soderbergh's rolodex must be really fucking out there

I want to see a thread/poll for deciding which director probably has the weirdest rolodex.

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.

Wooderson 4 life

A good read:

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.'"

Very much ready to see Tatum grinding to "Pony" a second time.

welllll? I fear someone is working on a comparative piece featuring this and Showgirls.

I am going to see this on Saturday -- if it provides even half of the entertainment of Burlesque, I'll be content.

Trades are all into it. Hollywood Reporter: "Arguably the raunchiest, funniest and most enjoyably nonjudgmental American movie about selling sex since Boogie Nights,"

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.

(much more interesting about ANiH is that it was by the writer of Nashville)

I don't necessarily think it will be junk, but good or bad it is bound to be entertaining.

I'm thinking of seeing it this weekend.

DO IT.

I must decide b/w watching this and In The Family, inexplicably playing again.

gotta make sure I have enough singles to get a good show

I see a lot of lawbreakers in this thread

Going to be a lot of Slate think pieces about this and 50 Shades when it opens big.
