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

enjoyed the hell out of XXL! Can't believe they lost McC and might've made a better movie.

a little better than the first I'd say, Manganiello the MVP this time imo

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"

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?

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?
