This movie will be awful :(

I trust Soderbergh to make a good movie.

“The Girlfriend Experience” was a movie he made with Sasha Gray (A porn star) who Soderbergh thought was hot and guess how that movie turned out? Awful.

"The Girlfriend Experience" was better than expected
It wasn’t an Oscar master piece, but considering what Steven had to work with, it was good.
You also forgot that “the informant” was totally ace.

Out of Sight is still one of my favorite movies. Being a girl, I like Erin Brockovich too.
I don’t think we’re qualified to say if the movie is going to be good or bad until we see it.

That same criteria doesn't stop us from deciding if a fight will be good or bad...
but it doesn’t stop us there either.
True
comparing fights and movies is a little different though

How so?
You break down the value of the components and use that as a predictor of value of the outcome…
For one; we already know more about the fighters than we know about Gina’s acting abilities.
In films there are several components that can make or break a movie. It’s not dependent on one person much like fighting is…
but my main point was this:The guy I was responding to made a statement like it was a certainty not an opinion.

Was a good flick, and I’m not a chick. Dunno about Knockout, though. I’ll see it when it comes out on cable.

The girlfriend experience was decent
My problem with the Girlfriend Experience was that they focused too heavily on little bits of conversations that were happening over an interesting time period in America’s history but ultimately the story became too shallow with little to no story. As for Sasha Grey I thought she did a great job for a a very inexperienced actress. She held my interest from start to finish but I wouldn’t look at her performance as to why the movie failed at the box office.
As for Gina Carano she isn’t a starring role in the movie and has a great cast supporting her ie Ewan McGregor, Michael Douglas, Antonio Banderas, and Bill Paxton. I highly doubt that anyone will remember her performance and instead they will probably focus in on her "ass"ests!

Actually Gina has the leading role in this movie….the storyline is centered around her
by TruthbeSpoken on Feb 25, 2010 2:04 PM EST up reply actions
My mistake. When I was reading the plot sum I saw a he takes revenge instead of she. That makes things a lot more interesting. Still she has a great supporting cast that can make this film solid as long as the script is good.

No worries, I thought maybe you hadn’t read the plot summary…
good day

based on what.., soderberg gas done some great flicks, oceans 11, traffic.. and banderas is no slouch either

Im looking forward to it, Soderbergh is a fantastic film-maker (see:Traffic, The Oceans movies, Che) The fact that Gina is in it can be a little un-nerving but I think she’ll do just fine with all the experienced people around her.
I will give you Traffic, but the others not so much. Che was too much in too little time and the movie didn’t track well at all; the DC in the Criterion Collection might shape it up but I doubt it.

look at all those girls checking out Gina.

Mr. Banderas is getting old.
Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.
I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.
Hey I posted this already!!
Here’s more video. Gina looks good!

I bet this beats getting your head bashed in by Cyborg.
Hell, anything beats that.
they have a reason to. when you are placed as the face of womens mma at get destroyed by cyborg. what do ypu expect, everyone to like her
That didn't sound like hating to me.
Just like Heath Herring would rather be in movies than getting his orbital smashed by Brock, Gina is probably enjoying filming this movie more than being punched by a top 3 p4p female fighter who fights like prime Wanderlei wearing a cornrow weave.

It doesn’t seem hateful to me. In fact, I think it makes perfect sense. You think if you asked Gina that she’d disagree? I mean, she did get her head bashed in by Cyborg.
More disrecpectful than hateful, maybe
whatever, Cyborg is overrated and will soon get her head beat in by Erin. She got lucky in catching Gina in an off night.
Who's the hater now?
Cyborg is currently a destroyer of worlds. Hits hard, has a great chin, has a rapidly improving ground game, and solid TDD. Toughill and a rematch with a less rusty and more motivated Gina are great fights, but lets not sell Cyborg short here.

I think you might be a little bit over-sensitive as a fan of Gina’s. It was blunt, but it was pretty accurate.
While it’s possible that Gina was having an off night, she was able to land several of her hardest shots and Cyborg just kind of sniffed them away. Even if Gina was off, surely she’s going to have to hit a lot harder to have any kind of effect on Cyborg. That woman is tough.
But I really like Gina and would love to see a more competitive rematch.
that's silly
He’s worked with dozens of beautiful actresses. I doubt it…

There’s always tension when working closely with the opposite gender. Sex is the best way to get over it so quality work can be done. This is an uspoken standard in many fields.
That’s a minimum requirement if a cutie wants to work with me. 99%, Soderbergh tapped that ass and then jiggled it….
Quit trippin dude

And I'm sure he's had nasty director sex with all of em
just like every MMA fighter that gets interviewed by a woman has gone on to have sex with them afterwards, at least that’s what my older brother told me.

That second shot really highlights
how short Antonio Banderas is.
I like using semi-colons; they make me feel smart.
Why God, Why
Women’s MMA has been getting so much better since Carano has been out of the spotlight.
Just pretend she’s gone or something. Carano drags the entire sport down.
wtf?
I hate to say this but if it weren’t for Gina the outside world(outside of mma) wouldn’t
know anything about women’s mma. Plus SF and Elite XC(back then) wouldn’t have promoted it so heavily if Gina hadn’t come along.
Women’s mma is partly where it’s at because of her.
She did not do it all on her own but she is a huge part of it.
yeah, I hate to admit it too, but you’re right. I personally can’t stand Carano, I think she’s rather overrated, but it’s true that she’s brought attention to the sport. Maybe not the best attention, but attention nonetheless. But, as a female, it really does irk me when the subject of women fighters comes up in a crowd of casual mma fans, and the only comments you hear are how hot Gina Carano is.

Nope…I predict it’s going to do fairly well in theatres

Nice to see ms. Carano training for her future fights. I’m sure this will help her weight cutting ability no end.
