HERE'S WHAT I THINK
Better Heist Team: Oceans 11 or Italian Job
Let's say you were being courted by two separate groups to join them in doing a heist, but you could only join one, which would it be? Would you become a member of the George Clooney's Ocean's 11 team, or prefer to sign on with Mark Wahlburg's Italian Job crew.
Ocean's 11 team
This team includes George Clooney, Brat Pitt and Matt Damon with eight others. The team is well-finances by inside sources. The team is working together for the first time, but is hand-selected and highly skilled. The mission is pretty unethical, just stealing money, (no vengeance or retribution). The heist will take place in a casino. You have a smart and powerful enemy in Andy Garcia that your team needs to get past. There is only one woman involved, Julia Roberts, and she is doubly taken by Andy Garcia and if that doesn't work out George Clooney has his eye on her. The chances of getting caught are high. The chances of going to jail are high. The changes of getting killed during the heist are low, but if you succeed the chances of revenge being sought against you are very very high.
Italian Job team
This team includes Mark Wahlberg, Seth Green and Jason Statham with a couple others. The team is financed, but by outside sources. The majorities of the team has worked together in the past and are experts in their fields. The mission is questionably ethical, revenge for a murderous betrayal by stealing back gold stolen from you. The heist will take place somewhere in LA. You get to drive custom-fitted Mini Coopers with racing stripes. You have a rather dim but ruthless enemy in Ed Norton that your team needs to get past. There is one woman involved, Charlize Theron, she is a core member of the team and single, but Mark Wahlberg has his eye on her. The chances of getting caught are high. The chances of going to jail are low. The chances of getting killed during the heist is mid-range, but if you succeed the chances of revenge being sough against you are low.
As for me, I'm going with the Ocean's 11 team.
YOUR TURN!

I would definetly join the Ocean's 11 team, but I have always wanted to drive a mini through a house. I hope Ocean's 14 has mini's driving through houses and then my life will be complete.

Well put, Stef! My thoughts exactly : ) Plus, personally I wouldn't mind a little mingling with Ms. Pretty Woman herself... anyway, def the Ocean's 11 team- those guys are hilarious, brilliant, and just so suave! I also would probably crash my mini-Cooper and be caught in a second : P

Ocean's 11, definitely. While Julia's keeping George and Andy busy, I can distract Matt and Brad. :)
And my word verification is "twitbug."
