Is it Behind or Beyond? It's being reported as both at several locales.

Intolerance and percentages shouldn't go hand n hand. I hope this doesn't dampen Steven's artistist SPIRIT.

It's depressing that no film studio was willing to put money behind this. A famed subject, a well-known director, two bankable stars … surely, it wouldn't have been THAT hard to sell this material. It's not simply homophobia, it's a matter of laziness on the part of the studio system.

Ive been reading the Soderbergh book that's his journals from Schizopolis, it's good but Id be more interested in knowing what his diary from the last year or so says. Probably it might not be too different cause the boom is actually just a bunch of complaining about how hard it is getting things made in the studio system, but still his movies have gotten more interesting towards the end here

Soderbergh's 20-year assault on mainstream audiences is finally over. Who will take up his mantle of forcing well-made forgettable crap into 2,800 theatres? My bet is on Tony Gilroy

An odd choice for final film, but I\’m still down.
