Making Movies can be Murder.
A studio script screener gets on the bad side of a writer by not accepting his script. The writer is sending him threatening postcards. The screener tries to identify the writer in order to pay him off so he'll be left alone, and then in a case of mistaken identity gone awry, he accidentally gives the writer solid ammunition for blackmail. This plot is written on a backdrop of sleazy Hollywood deals and several subplots involving the politics of the industry.

One of Altman's best - 4.5 out of 5 (1/6/1999)

Talk about self-referential movies! - 4.75 out of 5 (11/27/1998)
Any movie which can do a five minute craning shot
while that characters talk about opening shots has
started on the right foot. Altman has delivered a
great film which pokes fun at Hollywood while all along
using Hollywood actors and conventions to do so.
Confused yet? It gets better.
This film is a must-have DVD, no way around it. It has

cast (Lyle Lovett is great) ne

Not a power player - 3.75 out of 5 (11/13/1998)
I consider myself to be a Robert Altman fan, and I like his heavy use of cameos. However, in The Player, a movie about movie-making, there are a lot of movie stars playing "themselves". After a while, it starts to feel like Altman parades them out one after another simply to prove that he himself is a "Player". This DVD had the worst sound I have ever heard, in that my audio settings (that work very well for all other movies) had to be drastically altered to watch it. The bass almost shatter
