The sad thing about Soderbergh is that he began with a pretty interesting independant film, then got taken in by Hollywood, which always goes out of its way to be accomodating with up and comers whilst slipping soporifics into their drinks, gelding and eviscerating them in their sleep so that everything that they do subsequently has that happy, glossy look we all know and love. Soderbergh is now safe in the same way Elvis got safe through Ricky Nelson, the Beatles got safe through the Monkeys (and Muzak!). You know, it's like seeing an ad on the back of a cereal box inviting you to "Join the Hip Hop life style!", "Become a Gangsa!", etc. Another example is Christopher Nolan. He was going in a pretty interesting direction with 'Following' and 'Memento'. Then we get his first comercial feature and what is it? Yes, a remake of a nice safe 'art film', 'Insomnia'. There are countless examples. Very few people can work inside this system and come up with anything genuine. It pretty much killed Sam Pekinpah. Kubrick had to move to England. And Welles ... Yes, Welles.
