max, $57 M is dirt-cheap for any Brad Pitt-starring film.
enrique, you're such a pro-shit scumbag.
― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 1 July 2009 15:39 (fifteen years ago) link
sorry, I meant cad, not max xxxp
so you enjoyed 'che', 'full frontal', 'the good german'?
apparently ss wanted to excise from the script anything that 'didn't really happen'. what a dick. soderbergh, you're fucking out.

xp yeah i realize that pitt is commanding a lot of that i'm just continually bemused by how ppl need $57 million for a film that in terms of actual execution should need what--10? 15?

nice use of american baseball slang nrq

I'm guessing nrq wouldn't know a baseball if it struck him in the nutz. (and i'd love to test that)
I saw only Che of those, like the first half particularly. I quite liked Bubble and Solaris.

also cad, the budget for MLB licensing and shooting in ballparks ... this would be a early '00s period film, calling for quite a bit of FX to make the game transitions work...
If the script didn't stick to general facts, MLB might withdraw its co-op, which would kill the film (a different way).

I think the average studio pic budget is well over $100 mil, and even the avg Aniston romcom costs $60 M or more. (pre-advertising)

solaris is maybe the worst movie i've ever seen. soderbergh is overrated but his fans are more annoying than the movies he's been a part of imo.
― Matt P, Wednesday, 1 July 2009 16:38 (fifteen years ago) link
i'm a fan of his! i think i'm kind of annoying too, but not overly so

you know what that should have been "two people i didn't like who always brought up steven soderbergh in class as examples of 'post-modern' cinema in 2002." solaris still sucked so hard but i haven't seen very many of his other movies so idk honestly

it's a remake of my favorite tarkovsky movie and one of my favorite movies of all time with george clooney in it, who drives me crazy, so admittedly i'm a little biased. i saw it years ago and i've forgotten specifics but i just remember feeling like it was the most pretentious and vacuous movie i'd ever seen.

I cannot join the contrarians in praising The Informant!, which strains to be a satire of something or other (the corporate culture of theft, I wish). Matt Damon's bipolar voiceover wore me out before his Bruce McCullochization. I don't particularly understand all the bashing of the Marvin Hamlisch score, it just underlines the already smug vibe.

It was obnoxious. Scott Bakula and his hair were the only saving graces.
I did get The Girlfriend Experience today.

So, is this the point where everyone comes to their senses and realises this man has never made a good film?

King of the Hill, Out of Sight, The Limey, Erin Brockovich, The Girlfriend Experience comprises an impressive achievement.

'out of sight' remains way more stylish and fun than i had assumed it wld - lol'd heartily throughout - everyone & everything in this is so charming that it sorta fucked me up that the end was so bloody & heartless
the cast in this is so stellar - head nods @ catherine keener and luis guzmán & the keaton cameo that nods to jackie brown - whole thing has a tremendous ease to it
