“Who knew the line between Nicholson and Hobo was so thin?”
– Eric D. Snider of Cinematical, who seems a little miffed at having mistaken YOUTH KNOWS NO PAIN’s Norman Deesing for his doppleganger. Las Vegas Weekly bloggers were more amused.

indieWIRE: 'I’m Surprised When Anybody Likes It':...
indieWIRE: The GFE thing strikes me as a pretty cynical operation.
Soderbergh: In which direction?
indieWIRE: Just what it says about the fact that people have to pay for someone to listen to them.
Soderbergh: Aren’t we all doing that? You’re being paid to listen to me.
indieWIRE: Not much. But it’s an honor to listen to you, a privilege to listen to you.
Soderbergh: At one point Chelsea says, "Well, what are you looking for?" And the guy says, "I’ve been feeling stressed out, maybe I should go see a shrink, but it seems like more fun to see you."
indieWIRE: Wouldn’t you expect a “regular” relationship to at least provide an ear?
Soderbergh: I don’t have any desire to define what people should be getting out of a relationship. It really just comes down to how far we’re willing to dictate the terms for the way other people live.
indieWIRE: I’m not judging it.
Soderbergh: I’m not either. Somebody can live a life that I would never live and that I won’t condone. But unless we’re talking about sex with children, it’s really not my place to legislate how people please themselves.
indieWIRE: Yet what I took away from the film is that everything’s commodified - sex, companionship, sportswear - it’s all on the same spectrum.
Soderbergh: Absolutely.
