Also, why is Channing working? Unless Soderbergh needed someone for Gina to be better than (I mean, look at the rest of the cast, dammit). I just don't get him.
I'm pretty sure he's working (or done working) with him in an upcoming movie, so no idea. At least with Michael Douglas, I know he's got him playing Liberace, which is a trip in theory.
ETA, Soderbergh had an interesting interview about why he made the movie and the choices he made with the AV Club: [link]
I find Soderbergh fascinating because he is so articulate about how he makes movies, but also he's very clear he just kind of does things for the fuck of it because he can keep his budgets in line.
Well, that movie is based on his life, so it's not the biggest leap ever.
Also, why is Channing working?
Since he seems like too nice a guy to have sold his soul to the Devil, my working theory is blowjobs and lots of 'em.
Hmm?
I read somewhere that Channing used to be a stripper.
He definitely used to be a stripper.
Oh, I thought you were referring to Michael Douglas playing Liberace, which made me think I missed a BIG bit of undercover gossip.
Ugh, I can't even watch that video. I find him so...dumb. He's not cute, and he looks like he's just not keeping up with the rest of the room. Gnargh.
Oh..running. I could watch Gina running forever. She's got such great physicality.
I'm so glad that was just a video of Tatum stripping. I was so worried it was going to be him giving blowjobs and lots of 'em.
