This movie holds up in every single way. What an amazing film. I amazoned the Criterion today and the picture looked great. So fun too seeing who was on top in 1992 Hollywood.

I think this might be one of my favorite movies of all time. Top 10? Top 15 for sure.

Choral film about the ins and outs of Hollywood. Lots of cameos.

The Player is a fun film. It is satirical and intelligent with a story that is vastly applicable. Loved all the cameos and film references. Many viewing are required to fully appreciate this work of art, and I look forward to them all.

There are many movies about movies but most of them are about the actual filmmaking. This one is about the business side of the industry. Loved all the references and inside humor. What a great movie.
Although, I don't think the meta ending would work today. It'd be a cliché.

Production noir about a producer in Hollywood where everyone forgot about art and put together pieces of other people's ideas like puzzles, trying to make a profit or Oscars. What will happen if he himself becomes the hero of a bad script, maybe this will at least encourage him to make a real film? Who will let him?

Great movie about the movie business and a mystery as to who is it.

What if _Entourage_ was a meta mystery?
It took me a while to get a feel for the tone of this one.
I get that this is not meant to be taken all that seriously, but I still found some of the dialogue and acting a little awkward.
For example, Vincent D'Onofrio gives a genuinely bad performance, I don't know what Altman was aiming at with that stuff.
It's still an engaging film though, lots of meta commentary on the film industry, and it's filled with some great camerawork (I love the opening shot).
The two main characters are interesting, and it does go in directions I didn't expect.

6.5/10
