IRL this is right up the street from where I work. The address in the movie is IRL the adress where I work. It's some writers inside joke i guess.

Yeah? Where is it you live again for the 500th time?

Anyone who wants to make a fast buck: Get supplies for a 'passion party' and post up outside the theater. You. Will. Make. Bank.

Sorry i don't like looking at other guys. Also get a couple of copies of fifty shades of grey sell them outside the movie house you will make bank.

It's a rom-com about a male stripper who yearns for more. Gotta hand it to Soderburgh, at least he's one director who found a movie idea that wasn't a sequel or a remake.

I think this film will make more money than people think. Guys like Tatum (no homo) from his roles in "G.I. Joe" and "21 Jump Street". Girls--lots of them--are dying to see this film, as it combines both a romantic comedy AND dangling penii. (Every woman who's walked through my theater lobby in the past month has looked at the banner for this film, stopped, and gotten that "unfocused eye" look. I think I might sit outside the theater door and sell vibrators for ten bucks a whack.) Some guys will see it with their women, hoping they score. Other guys will see it with their boyfriends, hoping they score.

I'll see it 'cause I don't have to pay for it, so why the hell not.

Dude is fearless. in 1 year hes made a Virus flick, a balls out action flick with a female lead and now this. I cant think of too many directors out there with his all around range.

I wish more directors would expand out of their comfort zone like he does.

anything soderbergh does is worth watching...assuming you aren't unsure about your own sexuality, of course...

Fish · 06-29-2012, 09:15 AM

Well hell... anyone actually comfortable with their own sexuality should have no problems giving another guy a BJ in the back alley.

Is that pretty much the hyperbola going on here?

I'm not saying that you need to watch male strippers to prove you aren't gay. I'm not saying that you should find anything enjoyable about scantily-clad men.

I'm saying that the presence of scantily-clad men in a film shouldn't give you the willies. That's it. There's nothing creepy about it. There's nothing gross. Boring? Sure. But a reaction of "ewwwww, men" is childish and insecure.

Shit, if women acted towards every other mainstream film (which are loaded with scantily-clad women) like you guys act towards Magic Mike then no women would watch movies.

I'm not sure anyone characterized it as "creepy". I think rather what you read were men saying "no thanks". Then it became a pissing match about how Soderbergh's work is such that we ought to overlook a bunch of men disrobing and gyrating.

I just don't understand why being okay with staring into Matthew McConaughey's bare chest is some measure of your being sexually enlightened.
