those Ocean's guys are damn funny


"You're thinking that we're not just whores for money. There's your mistake."
- George Clooney

OK, it's well documented that I'm a bit of a heist slut- but this doesn't change the fact that there is a lot of talent behind Ocean's 13, and I think it is a very safe bet that the third one is going to be better than the disappointing second.
Time has a hilarious interview with Clooney, Pitt, Damon, and newcomer Ellen Barkin, who is looking surprisingly hot for her age.
They cover the new movie, Al Pacino's tendency to eat up scenes, their own favorite actors, and Ellen Barkin sleeping with the entire cast.

It's refreshing to read about mega-stars that don't take themselves too seriously. On one hand Clooney, Pitt and Damon all have their causes and aren't afraid to speak their mind about the issues they care about, but on the other hand I think you have to respect them for being able to laugh at themselves and not pretend everything they do has some deep meaning. Ocean's 13 is about having fun at the movies. It's about celebrating Hollywood. And sure, it's about making a lot of money.

These guys remind me of the guys I used to hang with in college. Except, you know, less money, less hot chicks, and not as funny.

Read it for yourself at Time.
