The Player

“We're gonna talk with Robert Altman's The Player, which starts with that amazing wander through the film studio and works its way all the way into the building where we meet Tim Robbins. I highly recommend if you like movies about Hollywood, which I do.”

“Wait, did you have The Player? I don't have The Player. Perfect portrait of Hollywood. But Altman, he says the way he talks about making movies is incredible. He called it... I guess I didn't know it was the name of his company, but Sandcastle Films. He said everybody gets together, all you and all your friends for that moment, you get together and you build a castle, build a sandcastle, and then you step back and you look at it and you watch the waves come and just take it away out to sea.”

“Here's another robert altman title The Player that tim robbins was in with Greta Scacchi and an unbelievable cast of actors from show business that robert everybody wanted to work with robert altman because he was so cool and working on his sets that the freedom that he allowed actors to have the experience was just like not working on anybody else's movie...”

“The Player? What's that? You never saw that? No. Are you serious? Yes. So good.”
