i'll give you that "traffic" is watchable (interesting choice of word, by the way), and i seem to remember "out of sight" being able to be watched as well.
but in general soderbergh reminds me of a slightly-less-infuriating guy ritchie. guy ritchie got lucky with his first film, which wasn't even really that good, yet he decided to make it again right afterward. then he made "swept away" with his girlfriend madonna, which is like the platonic form of badness. his next film was even worse, the film after that beign even worse than that one...and yet actors keep wanting to work with him, and studios throw money at him. you get the sense that neither he nor soderbergh really have any ideas.
it'd be an interesting experiment to watch a soderbergh film, and then right after roman polanski's "chinatown".
Out of Sight, Oceans Eleven, The Informant, and Traffic are all very watchable movies.
