I PREFER TO THINK OF IT AS AN EXODUS FROM AN UNDESIRABLE PLACE: Dan Kois recently re-watched all of Steven Soderbergh's films and classifies them as "three masterpieces, four classics, six worthwhile divertissements, four really fascinating films that get better with age, four interesting failures, and one movie that's all of the above."
One Soderbergh question I saw posed recently which I find fascinating: in Ocean's Eleven, what was the source of the fliers which filled the duffel bags? Because they weren't in the vault.
