it doesnt bother me because i dont think hes saying other people are suckers for being into narrative filmmaking - i think there are infinitely more obnoxious ways he could go about saying that he's bored with directing

also yeah that trailer looks *exactly* like a DTV action movie except with big stars. it's one of the more surreal trailers ive seen in recent memory actually

yeah it seems like a category error
anyway yeah sorry don't know why i went on and on about that quote. he seems like a decent, sincere sort who's only saying that he himself is a bit bored with what he's been up to.

I've been seeing this guy at my lab a lot recently. People are ridiculously deferential to him and he drives a beaten up old VW bug.

yeah it's a good book. i didn't read the article. tbh im not even sure if i've ever read anything by dan kois except the one where he says foreign movies are for posers, which i power-skimmed.

Getting Away With It is very smart and enjoyable and one of the main reasons I'll always give Soderbergh the benefit of the doubt.

I don't have a problem with ranking OOS and The Limey as his beset, and Kois is OTM about Traffic and his Best Director Oscar ("it's a helpful reminder that, to the Academy, "best directing" usually means 'most directing'").

don't care
Soderbergh should make another "Schizopolis," not this commercial garbage. He's been a whore since he started working with George (C)loon(e)y.

When I hear people talk about 2025, I’m like, this could all turn into Mad Max a lot sooner than that! I was talking to Dr. Larry Brilliant, who consulted on Contagion, and I asked him, “Does the world seem to be spinning out of control as fast as I think it is?” And he said, “Oh, yeah.”

and i've caught Contagion so many times on HBO that I've begun to think of it as a kind of minor masterwork.

I love Soderbergh interviews. The one time I talked to him he was a blast. Love that even he recognizes "Out of Sight" as his one movie where absolutely everything seemed to go right, 100%. Even the timing, which he had nothing to do with. If he made the exact same movie today, it would not be the same, because Clooney and Lopez now are totally different creatures.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 29 January 2013 03:47 (eleven years ago) link
ive only seen about half of his films but i've liked them all
― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Tuesday, 29 January 2013 04:59 (eleven years ago) link
"getting away with it" covers exactly that out of sight timing thing, but as a diary as it happened. recommended.
― caek, Tuesday, 29 January 2013 05:03 (eleven years ago) link
"But an alarming thing I learned during Contagion is that the people who pay to make the movies and the audiences who see them are actually very much in sync. I remember during previews how upset the audience was by the Jude Law character. The fact that he created a sort of mixed reaction was viewed as a flaw in the filmmaking. Not, 'Oh, that’s interesting, I’m not sure if this guy is an asshole or a hero.' People were really annoyed by that. And I thought, Wow, so ambiguity is not on the table anymore. They were angry."
great interview!
