Movies and TV Magic Mike - Page 5

mr. tegu · 06-29-2012, 10:32 PM

There was a line tonight to get into this movie. I counted ONE guy out of about 100 girls. I have no idea what this movie is but that pretty much told me all I needed to know.

So it looks like this thing is projected to pull around 47 mil this weekend and TED will pull around 50 mil

I don't think anyone thought these would be huge summer hits a few weeks ago??

Chicks dig Tatum and guys dig McFarlane and Kunis.

Saw an hour of "Ted". Laughed, liked it, will finish it.

Saw "Magic Mike" this morning. Not that bad, more drama than chick flick. Maybe five stripper scenes, nothing more than pecs and buns. Decent film, kept me watching. Tatum did a good job acting and a great job dancing. And Olivia Munn has nice titties.

Just got back from seeing this. I think it is a legitimate three-star film. It's a film about nothing less than what it means to work in America. It's like a warmer/less detached compliment to The Girlfriend Experience.

The dance/strip scenes are mostly played for laughs, excluding the Channing Tatum ones. And those are pretty damn impressive from a acrobatics/physical standpoint.

I can't wait for the Blu-ray to leak so that someone can make a .gif for every time that Kevin Nash was on-screen. Dude is so not fluid as a dancer; had me cracking up.

The dude from "CSI: Miami" wasn't too good either. Looked the part but had no rhythm.

I was surprised by how well Tatum moves. Gotta hand it to the guy (who IIRC is now in his early 30s), if his acting doesn't pan out he can still get a stripper gig.

I believe he already has been a stripper at some point

Yes, the "still" was "again". He was a stripper for a few months when he was in his 20s, which is how this film got made. Apparently while on set with Soderbergh (must've been "Haywire") they were shooting the shit and Tatum mentioned he'd been a stripper, and Soderbergh said something like, "Wow, we gotta make a movie about that," and Tatum said, "****, why?" And Soderbergh said, "Because I've never seen that world on film before."

There are two main characters in "Magic Mike": Tatum as the 30-year-old stripper, and Alex Pettyfer as a young guy who has dropped out of college from his football scholarship and is living on his sister's couch. Apparently both characters are based off Tatum (who, in addition to stripping, was indeed in college on a football scholarship and was living on his sister's couch for a while).

I went to Ted yesterday and, upon exiting the theater, saw a line of women waiting to see Magic Mike. There were 2 men and probably 50 of the most homely looking broads I've seen in some time. The kind of trolls that only leave their houses to go to work and McDonald's. I hope, for their sake, that there was lots of male nakedness cuz these chicks will be flicking their bean to those images for MANY months to come. Sad stuff...

Yes because overweight male nerds never go to the movies to ogle over Kunis, Megan Fox, Olivia Wilde etc.....

Do guys really go to movies to ogle over them? I mean, if they are in there, I'm definitely not averting my eyes, but I can't say that I've been drawn to a movie because of a hot actress. There's other places to see hot actresses and models. If I'm seeing the latest crime/action/comedy/western movie, they tend to be better the less amount of chicks that are in it.

Know how I know you're gay?

Likewise, I don't go just to see a chick, but if it has a hot chick that I like I'll go see it more quickly. Olivia Wilde in "Cowboys and Aliens", for example, and Olivia Munn in "Magic Mike".

Doesn't make it any less pitiful.

I wonder how many guys ever say this?

"Well, that movie would have been better if *random hollywood hottie* would have left her top on"
