What Emmanuelle Movie Did You Just Watch?

[Anderson]

They earned that love, Anderson. Chevy was an asshole before Vacation.

If the Vacations hadn't been what they were, I never would have gotten Randy as Elijah C. Skuggs nor as Russell Case. And I don't want to live in a world where neither occurred.

Matt, my brother.

Chevy was an asshole beforehand, sure. But, Vacation made him an asshole with clout.

Randy Quaid was doing better work before either Skuggs or Case.

I liked all three of the Ocean's movies pretty interchangeably.

I have to say, I love 12 just for being so... anti-blockbuster. SO many people hated it, it's become kind of a movie geek litmus test. If you liked it, its like being in on a secret joke.

But yes, I think they're all equally entertaining and I'd rarely skip them when they're on TV. I just love the balls of the second one.

[Abraham Smashington]

The first one was cute. 12 is amazing.

[Anderson]

The first one works the best on paper. The second one is Soderbergh's worst movie. The third is just blah.

I used to really love the second one, but time and a discerning taste has shown it for what it is. A film powered by the collective ego of its cast.

[Abraham Smashington]

but the collective ego of a cast that is having a blast.

[Anderson]

but the collective ego of a cast that is having a blast.

I watch films for narrative, not for Clooney and his fuckwit pals blowing $100 million of WB's money.

Such self indulgent tripe. Don't even get me started on Cassel's Eurotrash boogie through the lasers.

BEST SOUNDTRACK

[Ben Thomas]

The second one is Soderbergh's worst movie.

Hate on it all you want, but you're not doing your case any favours with this statement.

[Captain Russ]

Sodaburgers worst is Full Frontal.

[Matt]

I hated 12 on my first viewing. It totally clicked for me when I watched it a second time.

[Abraham Smashington]

I had no idea people didn't like 12. I LOVE 12. So much.

[Anderson]

Hate on it all you want, but you're not doing your case any favours with this statement.

I don't need your permission to hate something, my hatred is the stuff that drives men mad.

That being said, Full Frontal and Ocean's 12 are both cut from the same cloth. Both are ego driven puff pieces that want to merge the director's indie tastes with an inflated sense of worth given to his cast. A director shouldn't kowtow to Hollywood's brightest in order to make something different.

A director as an auteur is to know their singular vision to be true.

SHORT VERSION:

Ocean's 12 and Full Frontal are both Soderbergh's worst. But, Ocean's 12 wins by a nose.
