'Help'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I'd read that it was a conventional woman ... I dunno, pussy-shaming an outre guy into becoming sheeple.
someone in my twitter feed loves "Magic Mike" because he sees it as a tale of how the optimism of youth gets corrupted by financial markets.
I finally saw Magic Mike (after many travails) and can see both of those opinions. It was good! Could have used more stripping.
Could have used more stripping.
Heh.
We got three free passes to the theater because the second half of The Avengers was projected too high (the top eighth of the frame was gone), and I'm thinking Magic Mike might be what I use mine for.
Could have used more stripping.
Egads, yes. And the ending drives me nuts. Why not have his furniture be the catalyst for change instead of a girl ?
What I always loved about Ernest Borgnine was his eyebrows. I saw him in some schlockfest where he got possessed by the devil, and the only makeup change they did was to twist his eyebrows out. I tell Hubby he's got Ernest Borgnine eyebrowse, but he only pouts at me.
Spoiler, Suzi? But I think it can fairly be considered to be both.
We had an extended clusterfuck before finally seeing the movie, going back and forth between two theaters and back again, seeing the first ten minutes of Savages, on and on. My friend had bought both of our tickets, and she went back in to see about a refund -- I told her to try to get free tickets she could use at night, since we only paid for a matinee! But don't know what came of it.
Fixed, Jesse. But how so both? It felt like his furniture got dropped after he had to use his nest egg money . Or am I forgetting something?
I just feel like maybe not -- it's all so unresolved. I mean, he's not going to Miami, so he's got to do something, and I don't think he lost all of his ambitions. I mean, maybe he did, but I don't think it was clear.
I guess I wish it had been more clear and more of his motivation. Beyond that, there could have been more eye candy.
Mostly I wish Adam had just gone back to the fucking sorority house the next day to get his bag! Those guys would have been gone, the girls would probably have been embarassed and just wanted him out of there.
