The Player

I keep reading about how this film is a modern classic.Well,I'm sorry but I've never managed to watch it all the way through.Actually I've never watched it past Vincent's scenes :-)

I DID watch to the end, snarling as I went. I'll never forgive Tim Robbins, nor Greta's character in this *Grrrrrr* Oh and I recorded it the other night too!

I watchedit, but with only minimal attention after Vincent's character died.

Eliza, you posted a picture of the poor baby DEAD!

I remember him peeing in "Guy" but I don't recall it from this movie, which I too dumped out of after Vincent's scenes!

val said...

Same here, I remember it in Guy. Wouldn't put it past him though.

I've never understood what the big deal is with this film! And once again Greta is an idiot. Tim Robbins over Vincent?!

i watched this movie for the first time like a million years ago, pretty much because of tim robbins and because it was on tv... ;)

i had no idea who vincent was at that time (it was really a few years b.v. - before vincent) and it is probably a proof for his talent that i was still surprised when i found out that this was him. really had to watch it again to notice it. ;P

and i have to say: the film IS actually very good. and when you watch it until the end and try to ignore the fact that vincent dies in it (again!) and that greta's character is acting unreasonable (again!) you'll probably aree with me. :)
if you're just remotely interested in media in general and behaviour of people, this film is really a lot of fun to watch and provides some interesting things to think about.

alright, that's it, i'm quiet already. didn't wanna spoil the fun here. ;D

I haven't seen this one :-(
Does he die in it...again?

Yes Axe, again - and horribly! I did (bizarrely) enjoy the fact that the whole story was a giant piss-take of the whole wafer thin ethic of the 'Hollywood' system....
