" "I was just thinking what an interesting concept it is to eliminate the writer from the artistic process. If we could just get rid of these actors and directors, maybe we've got something here." Directed by Robert Altman Written by Michael Tolkin Music by Thomas Newman Cinematography by Jean Lépine Editing by Maysie Hoy and Geraldine Peroni"

" Date: 2/4/2022 Viewed: HBO Max Re-Watch Note: Because it was the 30th anniversary of The Player this year, I decided to watch it again. The Player is still a fantastic film, even after 30 years. I enjoy the inventive story, which is a satire of modern-day Hollywood. The film is a dark comedy that shows how people in Hollywood stab each other in the back. The film itself is a real blast, with several hilarious moments. It's also entertaining to see how the main character (played by Tim Robbin"

"First viewing - Mar. 12th So first off it's kinda weird seeing Tim Robbins playing someone other than himself when a host of other famous actors are playing themselves. I'm guessing they needed one major actor for his role just to help get the film produced, but it still messed with me. It's a film I found rather interesting and fairly entertaining, but also kind of a mess in some aspects. It's all very meta, but I don't know that that approach works as well as they'd intended. I don't know. I"
" Notes: I have to admit that I still have to check most of Robert Altman’s older movies but from all the movies I have seen directed by this master so far, it remains by far my favourite one. It seems to be a little bit forgotten nowadays but I think it’s a shame because it is actually quite a spellbinding thriller. Eventually, since it was a big critical success at the time, it launched a new successful phase for this director, a phase which lasted until the end of his career. To be hones"
