I don't find Channing terribly sexy, or an outstanding actor. But he's serviceable in non-challenging roles. His physicality suited Magic Mike and Jupiter Ascending. But I totally get having an actor that you just don't like to watch in a movie. Sylvester Stallone and Tom Cruise both fit that bill for me.

Because books.
I think Channing Tatum has some charm when he's in a role, but as a model, yeah, not so much. I did not mind looking at him in Magic Mike, though. I had no idea he could dance like that.

I find Channing Tatum charming and likable. I don't find him super attractive most of the time, but he seems to be a genuinely good dude.
It probably means that no one would try to talk to you on public transportation!
Point in its favor, for sure!

I do really want to see Jupiter Ascending, but more for Oscar Winner Eddie Redmayne than for Channing.

Good luck Connie! My dad had cataract surgery this past week. He's being a bad patient and reading more than he should, but isn't having any issues. Other than hating eye drops in general.

I've been faithfully doing my pre-op eye drops, they're surprisingly unstressful. My instructions say I'll be able to do normal eye-related things, though I should avoid things that are "dirty"--emphasis in the notes. But this is why I took a week's vacation this week, so I could see how I react and can get an idea of how work will be next week.

I'm going tonight! To the theatre that serves Red Robin-type food, and has a full bar. YESSSS, BRING ME LOADED POTATO SKINS AND AN ALCOHOLIC MILKSHAKE, THIS MOVIE REQUIRES THEM.
