They could've cast either of these chicks over Cody Horn and they would've been like Maria Falconetti in comparison

So this is a Soderbergh movie without his name on it as director, right?
― ... (Eazy), Thursday, 25 June 2015 14:19 (eight years ago) link
Yes, it's his Poltergeist.

bcz he's "formally" "retired" from feature directing, but is cinematographer and editor on this, when he doesn't even usually credit himself as editor on his own stuff, seems likely that he was at least somewhat more involved than the credits allow

nb the credited director is not Shock G from Digital Underground, but has been Soderbergh's AD for over two decades

soderbergh did shoot and edit many of his own features, he just did so under different names

well, soderbergh himself sez he didn't direct it, i'd take him at his word until we get evidence to the contrary, no?
― wizzz! (amateurist), Thursday, 25 June 2015 16:17 (eight years ago) link
he just did so under different names
hence me saying "credit himself"
I'm not saying he did ghost-direct it, just why people* might suspect that he did
(nb Spielberg didn't actually ghost Poltergeist and was only on set as producer a few days or occasionally iirc? for me knowing he shot & cut MM XXL made it more than enough of a Soderbergh film to want to see it after all, preferably in a cinema full of women)

there's a lot of evidence spielberg did in fact direct or co-direct most of poltergeist

enjoyed the hell out of XXL! Can't believe they lost McC and might've made a better movie.

saw xxl a couple of weeks ago and it's a blast. it's hilariously stakes-free (the event they're road-trippin' towards isn't even a competition!) but the cast have really good chemistry and it's fun just to hang out with them for a couple of hours. joe mangianello's gas-station strip is all-time.
― bizarro gazzara, Tuesday, 11 August 2015 12:03 (eight years ago) link
rewatched the first one, forgot that the supporting strippers hardly do anything but dance (save for the Pettyfer-Bomer "I love YOU, man" drug scene, which wd have led to a pansexual quadrilateral in a pr0n).

one of the funniest things about it was kevin nash looking like he didnt even rehearse any of the dances. there was one point where all the guys were doing their coordinated routine and he's the only one whose lower body is completely motionless.― turds (Hungry4Ass), Wednesday, April 24, 2013 4:06 PM (2 years ago)

I still laugh whenever I flash back to Nash's pathetic strip game.

Super entertainment, as good if not better than the other studio stuff I've seen this year. The cheapo attitude -- no name director, same cast, no script besides routines and one-liners that sound improvised -- is just what this concept needed (no Pettyfur already a plus).
I forgot Matt Bomer was in the original. Fuck Matt Damon for saying an out gay actor would never convince anyone he can play a part. Guess it helped that he's playing the gayest straight male stripper.

Kevin Nash was an extremely broken down wrestler who once tore his quad while running across the ring, so yes it's pretty funny he's in these movies.
― Chris L, Monday, 12 October 2015 02:29 (eight years ago) link
I think Tatum or Soderbergh or somebody said that Nash's character is a stripping "Lifer" who just doesn't try anymore, isn't good for anything else etc.
