Until you guys mentioned Oceans 11, it had somehow completely slipped my mind that Casey Affleck has played second fiddle criminal Brad Pitt three times before (although I seem to remember the full gang was minimized in Ocean’s 12. All I remember from that one is Catherine Zeta Jones marching off a plane, and that horrible bit with Bruce Willis). Anyhow, as both the Oceans films and Jesse are so clearly about the heirarchy of criminals and the attractions of celebrity, it would be interesting to compare and contrast the two, especially in regard to Casey and Brad.

Thanks, Christina. I’m actually dying to see Desert Bayou, but I missed it when it was in New York two weeks ago. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to see it soon.
