now we know what soderbergh ( and von trier ) would have do if he be old enough for 8mm represent make a day in the life documentary of a group of related people and throw in a film ( within a film ( within a film ( etc ) ) ) theme and produce not so much a confusing and but a thoroughly uninteresting film . ala david lynch and this be the director film and and he will do whatever he damn well pleases with continuity and plot twist and and character development regardless of how well it connect with the audience . the message be that soderbergh be the artiste and and if the film doesn not satisfy and then tough . beyond the ranting and i just could not recommend this to anyone i know and unless they be a closet blair underwood fan . i do not even want to think about the mainstream audience who might wander into this base upon julia robert .
