I'm curious how many men and women are going to see it. And for the ladies, how much does the eye candy play in making you want to see it? How often does eye candy affect how you see a movie?

A couple of women (and one teenage girl) told me they didn't care for the Avengers much but the eye candy helped them get through it...even so, they didn't want to see it again. How many women can relate to this? And are there any who DID choose to see it again BECAUSE they wanted to ogle the men in it (as opposed to being dragged and comforting yourself that at least the guys are hot)?

And if the visuals are that hot, would you like to see more movies like Magic Mike? And do you think men have a lot more eye candy movies than you do and would like to see more made for a female audience? And if so, would that include a desire for more visual porn (that is, without much of a story, as opposed to drama and movies that get erotic and steamy)?

I'm also curious about the men going to see it and their reasons why as well.

I don't find over-the-top, overly revealing, in-your-face, primal, overt sexuality remotely appealing, at all. It just comes off as tasteless. In the case of media, it comes off to me as desperate moves by producers/writers to get attention and just feels like a cheap trick.

Mystery is much more alluring, in my book. What's not revealed or said or shown is more fascinating.

Well said.

I mostly saw it for Matthew McConaughey's hilarity and Alex Pettyfer and Matt Bomer's hotness. None of them disappointed

That answers your question. (If it's still unclear, though I can't imagine it would be, Magic Mike is a MOVIE, not a person. Ok technically Magic Mike is a character in a movie called Magic Mike but I'm obviously asking about the movie, not the character.)

I really don't understand why you'd ask "Who?" without reading the original post first, which you obviously didn't or you wouldn't have asked. (If you want to claim you did read it before asking then can you explain how you didn't know I was talking about a movie when I very obviously was and was obvious to everyone else? Just what was confusing about it to you? )[/QUOTE]

WOW REALLY!!
First you have made some unfair assumptions.. Not taking my perspective into consideration..
g
1. Im reading these post on a small cell phone.. It gets really hard to read at times, so sometimes skimming them is what I do..

2. I dont click on the links.. Some links freeze my phone.. So I stopped clicking links..

3. Yes I read magic mike was a movie, but I still didnt know "WHO" magic mike is.. SO I simply asked WHO?

4. I can understand the person confusion by my who question for the above topic.. But when I got the reply saying Rita Hayworth, that confused me, cuz that was saying Magic Mike is Rita Hayworth..
So then I asked Magic mike is Rita Hayworth??
Not really that big of a deal..
Its a misunderstanding..

===================
Im not an idiot.

You didnt take my circumstances into consideration.

Other peoples perspective of something may not be the same as yours..
No need to talk down to me, because I didnt "see" it as you did..

Have a nice day!

I still don't understand what the mix up was and it has nothing to do with your perspective (defined as how you see a person or movie as opposed to the circumstances you described). While I understand that it's hard to read on a cell phone then it would also be hard to read any other reply, so if you couldn't read my OP then you couldn't read any answer either. Furthermore, you couldn't bother to be clear in your first post yet you have no problem explaining yourself later. That makes it hard for me to believe you're not just playing a game in my thread.

I think what Lioness said was that she doesn't like to click on links when she's on her phone as it causes her phone to freeze up. So she didn't look at the link you gave, and for the sake of brevity asked who this guy is, by just saying "Who".

And by perspective she means her situation, meaning, not being at a computer.

I don't think that she's at all trying to play a game on your thread. In fact I've never known her to play a game on ANY thread. She's usually a very pleasant, upbeat, and optimistic kind of person, who's also considerate of others.

Eye candy definitely helps, but there has to be substance to the movie as well.

Eye candy is half of what made me go see Thor and Captain America, the other was being a fan of comic based movies. I got lucky (no pun intended) that they were good movies. There could have been more to them, but overall they were good. I saw the Avengers I don't know how many times because it was actually interesting. The eye candy was a bonus, but not the sole reason for my watching it.

For the most part, I need more than eye candy. It's like being physically attracted to a hot guy, but when he opens his mouth and stupid spills out everything is ruined.
