    an ok movie the first time. ridiculous afterwards.

    all i want is a van with a fricken laser bean attached to it, that will blow the lights out of a city for 30 seconds.


    its funny how the heist lasted like 30 minutes or so, all the while clooney's character is in a room with a beastly man supposedly getting his arse whooped. and comes out looking like hes been mugged by a dozen catholic school girls. his shirts like half unbuttoned and his hair is all messed up and thats it.

    The original with Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis Jr. is classic.

    I thought the movie was great, but in answer to the original question, I don't think there is an exact answer. It's in the movie for comedy purposes. So, if it's eating u up inside, just go ahead and assume someone had them in their pocket and added them to the vault.

    The reason I say this is b/c we had a group go to vegas and during the first couple of days, we actually started taking the pamphlets and cards from the families on the corners. Once we realized the pamphlets served no purpose, but some of the cards that didn't have any censoring on them were dubbed Chin"poke a woman" cards.

    So, just assume that they took some of the pamphlets b/f the heist.

    memo to self: don't go to movies with people too tripped up on poking holes in the details, missing forest for trees. :)

    this was an incredibly entertaining movie.

    I guess I am too young to appreciate the original one. Having musical numbers every couple of scenes seemed different to me, and thus seemed out of place. I was expecting something cool and classy, and I guess I got that ... but it was cool and classy for that time period. "E-O-11" - what did the "E" stand for? Eleven Ocean's Eleven?


    (trying to phrase so not a spoiler)

    Plus, how often does that type of ending happen in movies now?
