Magic Mike: Your Friday Eye Feast


Today is the day you’ve been waiting for, ladies and gentlemen who like half-naked men. Magic Mike, starring Channing Tatum and Matthew McConaughey, is now playing in a theater near you.  Now, listen, I don’t normally think of myself as the type of girl who is into “eye candy” so to speak. Male strippers generally make me uncomfortable, I’ve never once owned a FDNY calendar, and the thought of getting a lap dance from a dude makes me feel panicky. (A girl, on the other hand..er, nevermind.) But something about these Magic Mike pictures have me singing a little Geri Halliwell. Hallelujah, indeed. (And did I mention it’s also coming to BROADWAY?!)

Let’s get familiar with the cast, shall we? (And get the babysitter to clear her schedule for the evening.)

Joe Manganiello...

Picture 1 of 10

Fans of True Blood may already be familiar with this hunk-a-hunk-a-burnin'-love. He plays Alcide, a studly werewolf on the HBO series. A relative newcomer to celebrity, Manganiello used to be a delivery man before he got into acting.

    Ok, at first blush I would write this movie off as total drivel. But as the release date nears I find myself saying “thanks Magic Mike, I’d love to have another cup of your Kool-Aid. So refreshing.”

    What’s up with that???

    Who needs a storyline with all of those abs? And that line of muscle definition they all have at the top of the hip bones… Yum!

  • NinaN2

    Thank you for reaffirming my NEED to see this movie. For the excellent writing. And acting. Of course.

    This is a Soderbergh film. He directed Traffic. This is a totally legitimate, ARTISTIC film. That’s totally why I’m seeing it. *cough*

    I feel ashamed of myself just reading this. And also a little swoony. And…other things.

    Planned to go with friends this afternoon and every show was sold out! So very sad. :( Now we are going on Tuesday and I am buying my tickets online tonight!

    Magic Mike was magic! They need to do a part to featuring big dick ritchie as the main character.

    That is a lineup of man candy that I, a modern, open-minded, equal-rights-loving woman, want to see and squeal over, and maybe shout a “WHOO BABY!”. Why haven’t I seen this yet?
