Oh so natural.

[@patriciaroberts100]

There is no better film - ever ever.

this scene is like one of those Russian dolls, there's so much going on here

[@barthesian]

Maybe. But by virtue of its camera movements, it transcends the theatrical.

What's the name of the movie poster in his office in the outside shot?

The postcard was originally scripted to read "I know your secret", but was substituted by the director when the actor kept screwing up the take.

How did the text on the postcard influence Tim to screw up the take?

[@siddiqahmad5193]

@@2109MI It didn't. @Stuurminator is an @sshat

Yeah! Lyle is great!

[@SnarkAngel]

"The Player" was an interesting but mediocre film. Not one of Altman's best. The best things in it were D'Onofrio and Goldberg.

[@Fan_Made_Videos]

D,Oaf and Whoopi were underwhelming. I loved Richard E. Grant's superfluous character. PAeter Gallagher was great too.

Apparently you missed a lot. You may want to watch it again.
