TomSchmidt<p>Couple of Days ago I was telling myself, I need to rewatch The Player. It is one of my favorite movies of all time.<br>It has a mindblowing opening long take. Greta Scacchi is in it, but she is not naked in the movie - not once and Tim Robbins is ... so fucking good!</p><p>This morning I walked into a used book store and picked up a copy of the novel The Player by Michael Tolkin. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FilmBubble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FilmBubble</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>movies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/film" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>film</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cinema" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cinema</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/cinemastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cinemastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/filmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>filmastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/mastomovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mastomovies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/theplayer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>theplayer</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/robertaltman" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>robertaltman</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/classicmovies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>classicmovies</span></a></p>
