I hate the sequel game in Hollywood because it’s artificial and usually a money-grab. I want this sequel because I think there’s one there. There’s more story to be told, if Tatum and Horns’ characters are to have a relationship while Pettyfer is in the place we last see him. There’s huge story there to be examined. If someone really wants to investigate that, there’s a movie there.
Today in ‘Oh Yeah, That’s Where I Know Him From’:
Big Dick Richie was Flash Thompson. Which is sort of apropos.
He also nails Soderbergh, probably the most interesting filmmaker working right now: ”These days Soderbergh makes movies to solve problems, not tell stories — he wants to see Gina Carano run. The script is just an excuse.”
Something probably requiring further self-examination, specifically regarding sexual orientation:
the amount of which I’m looking forward to this movie about male strippers.
First trailer and poster for Magic Mike
Magic Mike, Steven Soderbergh’s look at the world of male strippers, has released a first trailer, with Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer and Matthew McConaughey disrobing for the entertainment of a crowd of baying women.
I’m always down for whatever Soderbergh wants to make and Tatum is becoming a less abhorrent actor to watch since his successfully comedic turn in ‘21 Jump Street.’ So I’m down.
