New "Magic Mike" Stills in Ascending Order of Hotness
Saturday, June 9, 2012 at 9:00AM It's annoying that Magic Mike did not premiere in the Lusty Month of May and even more annoying that it did not premiere for my birthday. But at least it's arriving at the tail end of Gay Pride Month, because oglers of male beauty (aka roughly 70% ? of the population including gayz, women, and straight men who aren't insecure about such things) should thank the gays for this new era of male objectification. Unrealistic self-punishing beauty standards aren't just for women anywhere. Um... Hooray?
If someone will collect all the stills and trailers and clips into one YouTube reel maybe none of us will even need to see the movie. What? Studios release way too much pre-release material. We still don't know if Magic Mike the movie is any good or not but I did hear from a reader who loved the test screening he saw (especially Chan's dancing), adding:
I'm watching this 6 times and concentrating on one hot body per viewing.
LOL. If everyone interested does that, Channing Tatum will easily have his third $100 million blockbuster of the year.
20 new stills after the jump in totally subjective factual order of hotness. Here we go.
Sweating with the stars
Is this Alex Pettyfer's debut? He looks... tentative.
Matthew McConaughey raises a glass in honor of finally finding a signature role. (We hope)
How quickly do we think hot beef Alcides will bed Sookie on this season of True Blood... now that the cold vamp hunks are out of the picture?
Shopping for speedos. Does Pettyfer get a complete Makeover Montage?
Somehow I had missed the fact that Adam Rodriguez (Ugly Betty) is in this... though the still is accidentally too high on the list because the rose ruins it with nightmarish reminders of the existence of reality tv marrige competitions.
Costume Design by Christopher Peterson who probably knows he won't get any credit for the movie for reasons we don't need to spell out.
Please let this "Dr. Love" setpiece be as awesomely stoopidfunny/ cornysexy as it deserves to be.
...when Bomer was filming his 'Dr. Love' routine with a female extra, he asked Tatum: 'What should I do different?'
Tatum advised him to 'grind your junk in her face.' - Matt Bomer interview
This looks like a backstage shot but they look like they're posing. Curious.
Channing Tatum listening to the sweet music of screaming fans. That's his playlist for 2012, don'cha know.

I wish I was a female extra hired to have Bomer's junk in my face.
Bomer getting his Richard Gere on is by far the sexiest shot.
Stripper Matt Bomer for President!
Something about the tone of this movie is off. It doesn't help that the auteur behind it is a humorless android.
The first shot ("sweating with the stars") is by far my least favorite. The half-shirt makes McConaughey look like he has a paunch, which he clearly does not judging by the other shots!
I don't know much about Bomer, and his TV series is only worth it when they shoot his ass from below, but I think it's really brave of him coming out just before this movie opens, Many other ones would've played the ladies hearthrob (ahem, Luke Evans) along hoping to sell more tickets.
And about the movie itself, I think they realized the first trailer was a mistake, but the movie will still go that way. Though isn't sad when you're The Girl in a movie, in what you probably expected to be your breakthrough, and your name is almost nowhere to be seen?
Body hair is enjoying a renaissance. So why are these men plucked?
You know there is a gay version of this coming soon...
Isn't this already as gay as it gets?
It does look like it will be fun, but I too would like some chest hair on my strippers. Are all these guys naturally smooth?
