I LOVE The Player (1992), Tim Robbins was great. Watched it maybe once but it stuck.

It's the closest Altman's gone to 80s De Palma and I mean that in the most loving way possible.

I don't quite see it. But if that's the case I'm more interested in dyed-in-the-wool Altman films, I guess.

Camp B thriller posing as one thing and slowly unraveling as another, using aesthetic choices of high-brow cinema as a self-reflexive in-jokes for the literate while making some kind of broader point. Blow Out, Body Double, Dressed to Kill all the way.

Now that I think about it, Blow Out might be my favorite De Palma - and I was always a Carrie guy because I appreciate horror when it's actually, you know, so much more than horror as the majority perceives it nowadays.

I miss those types of 80s genre movies - showing one thing, in a pulpy sort of way, talking something else. Watch It Follows if you haven't, much better than The Babadook in my opinion. Almost Vangelis-like soundtrack and really hits the right notes with the sort of message it generates by the end (and way above the simple 'STD' I believe).

Or Images, perhaps.

okay 3 Women was great! So fuckin surreal and bizzare. In regards to The Player, I don't think it's one of his best (that i've seen) but ya Vader nailed it. The ending lands the two styles/tones melding together perfectly. And that fake Bruce Willis/Julia Roberts movie is gold.

Is the movie Faults any good?
