ofunicorndust:

All these rave reviews of Magic Mike (hello film catering to the female gaze!) really makes me want to see it. 

I saw it today (noontime showing, WHAT DECADENCE IS THIS) and all I want to do now is go back to college and write 1000 words on anxious masculinity and the female gaze.

Fair warning, though: There is not nearly enough Matt Bomber. At all. Not even close.

like I read this one review that completely panned itand it was like 'straight men: just give this one a pass'and seriouslywhen was the last time that a movie whose only merit was the gratuitous display of attractive female bodiesreviewed with 'oh straight women: just skip this one'because the male gaze is so ever-present!that people don't even mention it!and the minute that we get a movie that is COMPLETELY built around the female gazethat almost exactly mirrors the way that most moives do for the male gaze(there are frequent reaction shots to the female patrons of the strip club; the camera LOVES ct's abs)people are all OH NO; WHAT ABOUT THE STRAIGHT MENZWE CAN'T HAVE THISand it just makes me love the movie a lot morealso: I did not know this before todaybut olivia munn is in it*-*
