This movie holds up in every single way. What an amazing film. I amazoned the Criterion today and the picture looked great. So fun too seeing who was on top in 1992 Hollywood. I think this might be one of my favorite movies of all time. Top 10? Top 15 for sure.

Choral film about the ins and outs of Hollywood. Lots of cameos.

Welcome to the Nexus for the Six Degrees of… This is a fascinating movie about movie making and making a movie with in a movie. While a murder investigation is going on and a Studio Executive - is being stalked by a writer he blew off. You really don’t like any of the characters, but I think that is what Robert Altman wanted. He even maybe wanted you to hate them. The acting is great and Lyle Lovett is perfect in his understated detective role. The theme of the movie is that box office and awards trumps reality every time… This one has so many cameos in it that this might be the Nexus for the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Game.

Like playing the field: there are a lot of cool people involved and it's way more fun than you think it'd be. I don't know enough about behind-the-scenes Hollywood to know how accurate Robert Altman's takedown is, but I do know enough about satire to say this story of a producer killing it in his job is a masterclass of writing, acting and directing.
