I though Altman was a creative director. He used a variety in his films, unlike the last director we watched where it seemed they were all the same. He had Nashville, which was a musical movie, The Player which was more of a detective movie followed by The Long Goodbye. I think having a variety of movies that aren't all alike can keep viewers interested in you because they never know what will come next, and I consider that a good thing. Althougt I didn't really see The Player, I heard a lot of the same styles were used in that one that were used in the other two. Which consisted of few cuts and opening scenes that were long. Out of the two movies I saw, I liked The Long Goodbye the best. I really liked his layed back attitude towards everything. I also really enjoyed the humor he had with his cat and I think that made the movie a little bit more interesting, I love funny movie. Overall I think Altman was a pretty good director!

i definitely agree with what you heard about the connection between the player and the long goodbye. They're both dealing with sort of detective work and what not, and i think the player could somewhat be considered a more modern day long goodbye. -laura
