![]() ![]() …But I think I see a lotta lawwwwbreakers in the house tonight.” He asks the crowd, “Can you ever touch this? Well, the law says that you cannot touch. The first shot of his face is him grabbing his crotch (in leather pants). McConaughey, a one-time fresh-faced leading man ( A Time To Kill) turned rom-com punchline ( Failure To Launch?) turned dude known for playing the bongo drums shirtless, opens the film in front of a screaming crowd of women. (Maybe the Academy voters just got confused when they gave him the Oscar for Dallas Buyers Club instead of for playing a club buyer named Dallas). Casting is probably half of acting, and Matthew McConaughey as Dallas is one of the most cosmically perfect mergers of acting performance and public persona in cinema history. As both movie characters and public personae, McConaughey represented Tatum’s potential, realized. It’s hard to imagine a starker example of that actually coming to pass than Channing Tatum in 2012, who went from a mumbly himbo we loved making fun of (C-Tates, as we called him on FilmDrunk) to two legitimately brilliant performances in Magic Mike and 21 Jump Street (on which he was also a producer).Ĭhanning Tatum feels like everyone’s “local boy makes good.” Yet there’s a reason Magic Mike opens on McConaughey’s character. Every heartthrob and sexpot, or maybe just every heartthrob and sexpot’s agent, dreams that they’ll be able to hone their craft - through all the extra opportunities show business naturally affords beautiful people - and one day become real actors. Not only was it a smart business move, it was good art. Producing his own semi-autobiographical starring vehicle that spawned a franchise. Tatum plays the whole thing beautifully and I could write a whole separate essay here about how Magic Mike was the moment when Channing Tatum achieved the actor’s version of his character’s dream in the film - not just starring in it, but owning a piece of it. His money is no good here he can’t escape his circumstances. ![]() It doesn’t matter how much cash Magic Mike puts on the table, he still can’t trade it for trust or assets. Because what was the foreclosure crisis if not the event when so many Americans realized that the houses they “owned” were actually just rented from a bank? There’s a reason that one of the climactic scenes in Magic Mike is Mike trying (and failing) to charm a bank representative into giving him a small business loan. “I want to hear you say the word ,” Mike says to Dallas in their first scene together, “ Equity.”īasically, Mike wants to own something. Partly for the money, but also partly because Dallas (McConaughey) has promised him equity in a future club Dallas he’s opening in Miami. Tatum’s character in Magic Mike is an aspiring furniture designer who works in construction and owns a car detailing business, who moonlights as a male stripper. Magic Mike was set in Tampa, Florida, which is partly a semi-autobiographical reflection of the fact that ex-male stripper Channing Tatum grew up there, but also partly a reflection of the financial crisis, which hit Tampa particularly hard (to paraphrase Billy Corben, Florida has always been, first and foremost, a real estate scam). Steven Soderbergh (who directed the original and returns for Last Dance) was so unsubtle in making Magic Mike a financial crisis movie, in fact, that it’s only a testament to how good the stripping was that anyone could’ve been so dumbstruck as to miss that this was a financial crisis movie. I don’t begrudge anyone for just wanting to see the dicks shake (for those people, there’s Magic Mike XXL), but I also think that bait-and-switch is an acceptable strategy if you’re tricking people into appreciating art. Male stripping and professional wrestling are both heavily kitsch, but both movies are about exploring and examining that kitsch for what it says and what it means rather than simply reselling it. People showed up expecting a fun romp about male strippers with lots of dance numbers, and what they got was more like The Wrestler with pleather speedos. I can understand audiences maybe not being able to fully appreciate Magic Mike for what it was in its own time. I’m speaking, of course, of McConaughey’s turn as “Dallas” in 2012’s Magic Mike, whose second sequel, Magic Mike’s Last Dance, opens this weekend. It’s always bugged me that Matthew McConaughey had to play a rodeo cowboy dying of AIDS in Dallas Buyers Club to win an Oscar, when he’d already given one of the defining performances of an entire decade two years earlier.

![]() ![]() And there was always this constant force of decay on it because it had been forgotten over the years. For me, it was an amazing place to grow up. There are endless, endless stories of people who got their start there and went on to take over the world. It was probably such a fantastical sight, and it was the first amusement park in the new world. You can imagine the turn of the century immigrants coming over the horizon and seeing this glow when most hadn’t probably ever seen electricity. When most people think of immigrants coming to the United States, they think the first lights they saw were the Statue of Liberty but it was actually the 10,000 light bulbs of Luna Park in Dreamland, which were the names of the parks in Coney Island. There’s beaches in Brooklyn?” I’d say, “Yeah, it’s a big part of our culture.” It’s just not always what people think about when they think of Brooklyn. ![]() I grew up on the beaches there and it’s funny, whenever people would come and visit me who had never been to Brooklyn, they’d say, “Wait, hold on. Coney Island is a very special part of Brooklyn. In a conversation with THR, Aronofsky explains the biggest challenge in fleshing out the story, the “magical” nature of growing up in Brooklyn and Coney Island and snagging blurbs from stars Sadie Sink and Logan Lerman. But at the suggestion of a writer pal, Aronofsky and Handel shifted gears and adapted their script into a children’s novel. The fact that it arrives so close to The Whale is just coincidental as Aronofsky tells The Hollywood Reporter that it wasn’t planned that way, “it’s just serendipity.” It’s also a testament to not giving up on a good idea as the pair first tried to get the project made as a feature film several years back. So when his friends start to think of Monster Club as a kid’s game and get more interested in other things, Eric can’t deal. But then he happens across a long-lost vial of magic ink that brings their monster drawings to life, and suddenly, Monster Club isn’t just for fun anymore. If it weren’t for Monster Club, a roleplaying game his friends created, Eric’s life would be pretty terrible. With hungry property developers circling the wreckage, Eric’s family is falling apart from the threat of losing it all. Like almost everything in 11-year-old Eric “Doodles” King’s life, King’s Wonderland - the amusement park his great-great grandfather founded - was damaged when a hurricane hit his beloved Coney Island neighborhood.

Butterfly larvae eat the leaves, and the aphids attracted by young shoots are food for ladybugs and songbirds. Rosa nutkana, the Nootka rose, bristly rose, or wild rose is a 0.63.0-metre-tall (210-foot) perennial shrub in the rose family (). The hips are available in winter and are eaten by bluebirds, juncos, grosbeaks, and thrushes. The thicket is important cover for pheasant and quail. These form important habitat for wildlife.

How to Extend your WiFi Range: Frequently Asked Questions What is a Wireless Networking Repeater?Ī wireless networking repeater is a device that receives a Wi-Fi signal and rebroadcasts it, effectively extending the range of the network. Depending on the size of your offices, you can opt for either Google’s Nest WiFi Mesh or the Netgear Orbi Pro WiFi 6 Tri-band Mesh System for Business. Suggested Fix: Set up an office-wide mesh network. In most circumstances, this is where a mesh network comes in handy, allowing you to space out nodes that all provide direct access to your network. Irregular floor plan: Some offices have unusual floor designs or features, which might drastically impair your wireless connection compared to a more typical layout.If the objective is to provide WiFi to an adjacent office or an office across the street, we would suggest TP-Link’s AC867 Long Range Outdoor Point to Point Wireless Bridge. Suggested Fix: If the outdoor space, such as a garage, shed or garden office, has power, we suggest installing a TP-Link AV2000 Powerline Adapter to link your outside area with your main WiFi network. To overcome this, you’ll need a wired access point or a mesh node to achieve adequate coverage outside. Outdoor access: One of the most common problems encountered when extending a wireless connection to outside space is strongly insulated external walls.An alternative, and cheaper option, is to install TP-Link AV2000 Powerline Adapter in the problem area, provided an electrical wall socket is available. Suggested Fix: Set up a wired access point or mesh network, such as the Netgear Wireless Access Point or Google Nest WiFi Mesh. If, despite repositioning your router to a central location, you’re still experiencing signal degradation, a repeater is unlikely to solve things. Structural Obstructions: Walls can quickly weaken a wireless signal, especially if the signal must pass through extra insulation and plumbing.Physical obstructions in the office, such as walls, cabinets, or partitions, can considerably restrict a Wi-Fi network’s range.Ī Wi-Fi signal decreases when it comes into contact with such an obstruction, which occurs frequently indoors due to walls, flooring, and even electronic interference. Then explore the more common challenges in achieving widespread WiFi coverage and advise on the most appropriate solution. Next, we explain the different types of options available to extend your WiFi network range. Resolving wireless network issues, particularly those relating to WiFi range, signal strength, and overall coverage, are dependent on several factors. While the above table helps identify the most appropriate solution to remediate typical WiFi range issues, we suggest reading the below information so that you can make a better-informed decision. “Dead spots” or weak signal areas, and your office doesn’t have multiple ethernet ports in the affected areas NETGEAR Wireless Access Point or Google Nest WiFi Mesh “Dead spots” or weak signal areas, and your office has multiple ethernet ports in the affected areas The table below helps you quickly identify the best way to extend your WiFi range and improve signal strength to resolve any issues with your wireless network: WiFi Issue ![]() If your wireless router is already located centrally or you can’t move it from where it is, there are several WiFi devices you can use to help deliver a solid connection where you need it.

However, while repositioning your Wi-Fi router may work for small offices or a home office, larger workplace environments with multiple offices and meeting rooms may require a more robust remedy.īefore rushing out and buying a product promising you better Wi-Fi coverage, it would be beneficial to establish the weak spots – zones or areas where your WiFi signal is weak or non-existent.

Jones and Me” and “People Fighting and Pepper Spray and Superheroes and…I Don’t Know,” the last title a quote from someone on the phone with 911. One of the most memorable moments of working on Heroes was a rather terrifying night I spent following RLSH Phoenix Jones in Seattle. I’m currently working on what I hope will be books 7 and 8. My book American Madness, which I think is my best, also spun out of this work (though it went in a very different direction). Since then, I’ve had five more books published. ![]() After many rejections from agents and publishers, I sold the book to Chicago Review Press in 2012. I also learned how to write a book and a lot about the writing process in general. More on that last city in a moment.ĭuring that process I met several people that I still consider to be friends today. I went out on patrol or participated in RLSH events in Milwaukee, Minneapolis, New York City, New Bedford, Vancouver, San Diego, Portland, and Seattle. For years I worked my day job(s) and spent many nights on patrol with people who had adopted their own homemade superhero personas, a secretive subculture of Real Life Superheroes (RLSH). ![]() Writing that remains one of the great adventures of my life. Phoenix said, “We’re going to stay for an hour and consolidate the block do you want to stay with us?” And I said, “No I do not!” So I went back to my hotel where my legs buckled, and gave way, and I fell onto the floor.It’s been almost ten years since my first book, Heroes in the Night: Inside the Real-life Superhero Movement (2013, Chicago Review Press) was published. Then they all started walking towards us, and they got to us, and one of them said, “You are seriously willing to do for this?” And Phoenix said, “Yeah.” And he said, “Well if you’re going to be so stupid as to die for this, then I guess we’re going to have to go home.” And they all dispersed and went home. I mean, I’ve done a lot of dangerous things in my line of work, but this felt really like this could be the end. So I thought I remembered from watching The Wire that a burner was a stolen mobile phone, but that didn’t sound contextually right at all-yeah, “if you don’t get off our block we’ll show you our stolen mobile phones?”-so I said to Phoenix, “What’s a burner?” Phoenix said, “It’s a gun.” And then they all came towards us, about four or five of these guys, all came towards us with their hands down their pockets, and then one of them whispered, “If you don’t get off our block, we’re going to kill you.”Īnd then they all gathered at the bottom and then Phoenix said to his superhero cohorts, “Do we stand or do we leave?” And they both went, “We stand.” And I still had my suitcase with me, actually.Įventually the crack dealer said to Phoenix, “If you don’t get off our block, we’re going to show you what the burner do.” Those were his very words. The superheroes all had bulletproof vests on-I had on like a T-shirt and a cardigan. I was obviously nodding in agreement with everything the crack dealers were saying, in the hope that if the shooting started they’d considerately remember to shoot around me. This group of guys were saying, “What are you doing coming here with your superhero costumes? This may be fun and games to you but it’s not fun and games to us. We turned the corner and it’s like three o’clock in the morning at Belltown, in Seattle, and it was like The Wire.
