sashayed:isabelthespy:thewightknight:A little Magic Mike XXL magic(x)what’s amazing about this is that i watched the trailer (i watched the trailer several times) and this was the sequence in the trailer that really communicated to me, huh, i don’t know exactly what to expect here but whatever it is it is not fucking around, although also it’s completely fucking around in a strange and delightful way, like, obviously i was always going to see this film opening weekend and i was even probably going to see it more than once, but that water bottle shit, that really tapped into something, like, damn, like, this is a movie i might be able to respect specifically for a complete and utter shamelessness which is my favorite thing to respect movies for, but what’s amazing is that i had no idea. you, reading these words, looking at this gif, have no idea, if you have not seen the film, and i don’t even mean the film as a whole although, certainly, the cheerful vagueness of the trailer is the ideal non-preparation with which to go into this film, i’ve never more wanted to shield people from spoilers than with this film in which quite literally nothing of consequence happens, but i really also just mean this sequence, which is bar none the most important thing ever to happen on film and my only holy text and a moment i want to live inside like a new skin. i mean, you can look at joe manganiello strutting down a gas station mini-mart and humping a fridge and jerking off a fucking water bottle and admire the sheer commitment of both the actor and the movie, which is one of the only movies i have ever watched in my life with even the dimmest awareness of or interest in the choices people made about cameras, like, even the fucking water bottle jizz thing, i marvel that people would ask joe manganiello to do this and that he would do it so wholeheartedly and with such energy but i also marvel that this moment has been communicated to me in exactly the way it needed to be, which is a feeling i never get because i am visually illiterate, but, anyway, the point is, you can look at this, and admire it, and be excited by it, and you’re right but also, i think those who have seen the film will back me up on this, also you are wrong and you don’t know and you don’t understand and this is the thing, is that magic mike xxl is a film where you can know that joe manganiello pretends to jerk off with a water bottle for what you can assume from the setting are patently absurd but also transcendentally beautiful reasons, and you can still not know, even, the top, like, 10-15 things going on in that scene, you can know all that this conveys and maybe be thinking, what else could add to it, how can you see all of this with your eyeballs and still preserve the actual giddy shock which caused me to scream out loud a bit the first time and, somehow, laugh till my stomach hurt while curling into my chair and wanting to jerk off even more the second time, this sequence, in the film, in its context, is overwhelming, is sublime in the fullest sense of that adjective, is more erotic than any sex scene i have ever watched and also one of the funniest things i’ve ever beheld, it’s a majestic monument to muchness offered up in the humblest way, and you might think, i could have guessed at that from joe manganiello jerking off a water bottle in a mini-mart, and what i’m trying to explain to you is, no, you can’t.Bolding mine, and beyond accurate. -- source link
