Everything You Ever Need To Know About Life...

... you can learn from:


Cynthia: The organ itself seemed like a, a separate thing, um, a separate entity to me. I mean, when he finally pulled it out, and I could look at it and touch it, I completely forgot that there was a guy attached to it. I remember literally being startled when the guy spoke to me.

A happy 56 to director Steven Soderbergh today! To be quite honest I don't like SL&V very much at all, but I remember thinking Laura San Giacomo was good so I'll quote her "organ" speech - it's an instrumental one. Anyway even if I don't love this movie I do love Soderbergh, and I'm fairly thrilled he's got two count 'em two movies coming out this year after he took his little wayward sabbatical...

First up is High Flying Bird, a basketball movie of some sort starring André Holland (who was on Soderbergh's grand television program The Knick, you might recall) as a sports agent who has a "controversial" business proposal for a client played by Melvin Gregg. HFB is out very soon, on February 8th. Then later this year there's The Laundromat, his great big star-studded "Panama Papers" movie with Meryl Streep and Gary Oldman and Antonio Banderas and Alex Pettyfer (I love that he gave Alex a gig after he was insufferable on the Magic Mike set) and holla Matthias Schoenaerts y'all...
