   Oh wow this looks great
   I didn’t even realize it was going to be a comedy.

   Bwahahahahaha! Can’t wait!

   Yes!! Finally something I have been looking forward to that looks like it will live up to my expectations.

   This is going to be a great year for comedy. I totally expected Informant to be like Insider but this looks fun. Which lowballs its chances, I guess.

   This looks great. And it has Joel McHale in it!

   Soderbergh’s movies are kind of starting to look the same to me. This clip was a bit Ocean’s-esque for my taste.

   A comedy!
   I am looking forward to it.
   I hope Matt Damon doesn’t become annoying after first 15 minutes.

   How did no one see this coming? Did they just forget to mention it was a comedy, and we all assumed the worst. Oh, I’m all excited about this for once.
   Also Joel McHale and Buster Bluth, my mind is blown.

   I think we all heard corporate agri-business + Soderbergh and instantly thought, Oh, more Shiva, God of Death, except with brains and style this time.

    Very typical i think. Won’t do much in box office nor in awards season.

    Looks great, reminds me a bit of one of last year’s very best films, “Burn After Reading.” Coming out around the same time, too.

    At least “The Informant!” will have a few nominations for GG (Especially for Damon). Guys, if I remember since the begining, Soderbergh said in a few interviews that film was a black humor comedy. I’m agree with bambi, a good year for comedy

    I sure hope it is nothing like Burn After Reading which was quite a letdown in my opinion. A very minor Coen bros. flick. Not even very funny really, with a rather deflated punchline ending. This looks like fun and Damon looks really good here. Clearly he’s having a blast and looks totally relaxed. I’m in.

    This had completely dropped off my radar. It’s going to be fantastic no doubt!

    Couldn’t agree with you more austin111 – Burn After Reading had some good moments in it, but when Clooney unveiled that chair, I was neither laughing or disgusted, just extremely confused. (Also, I don’t think that Soderbergh would get rid of the heart and soul of the film halfway through either like the Coen’s did).

    Thanks God this will be nothing more than a Golden Globe Nomination for Matt Damon.

    Thanks God he will only be nominated for ‘Invictus’. It will be a crime if he get double nominated.

    I have heard amazing things about Scott Bakula – one of my favorites from his kick ass “Quantum Leap” days (okay, that was a pretty popular show, so I shouldn’t make it out like he isn’t well known) – so it would be something if he could garner supporting actor nomination talk.

    I can’t lie, I’m just not excited by this trailer. I’ll see it if the word of mouth is good but Matt Damon simply does nothing for me. I’ve seen all of his highlights and have yet to be convinced by him. People rag on Ben Affleck but at least he has a certain amount of charisma.

    I get the Burn After Reading comparisons but this looks like Burn After Reading Lite to me, which is a problem since that film was essentially Coen Bros. Lite (even though I did quite enjoy it).

18. iggy July 1st, 2009 at 2:07 pm 18

    It’s just me or Damon looks like a younger William H. Macy in some shots?

19. bambi July 1st, 2009 at 2:11 pm 19

    yes! I knew he looks like someone but couldn`t remeber who. You are so right. Macey it is.

    Bull. There wasn’t anything about “Burn After Reading” that was even remotely minor. A hillarious comedy that worked on more levels than you’ve understood.

    Matt reminds me of Brad Pitt in Burn After Reading.

22. Aaron July 1st, 2009 at 3:49 pm 22

    Hahaha @ 20

    If you didn’t like a movie that I did, then you obviously didn’t understand it.

23. Noah R. July 1st, 2009 at 3:55 pm 23

    It is minor, Proman. I understood it, I laughed quite a bit, but it still ranks on the lower side of the Coen Bros. mostly superb canon. What are you so mad about? I still really liked it. Overreacting as usual.

    Soderbergh may not give up halfway through a movie, but he’ll sure give up for 9 years. Don’t give me that Che bs either, the film/s weren’t that great. Here’s hoping he makes a good movie again.
