Yeah well Mr. Altman is kinda cynical isn't he? Well I just heard about this guy while looking at some Criterion DVDs (sp), he has a couple. So since he was good enough to make it onto the holy Criterion (even though they admitted Chasing Amy) I figured I'd give him a shot and buy short cuts just for the fun of it. I liked it, I'd give it an 8 out of 10, he has a real talent for making everybody look like bastards and I think Sealab "borrowed" one of the character's names (Stormy Weathers = Stormy Waters) so all in all I was pretty happy with my choice, however I was just wondering what you folks thought of it. Also he has another criterion which I almost bought called (something) '88 it's about a political candidate these two guys made up to run as a joke but he ended up being taken seriously or something looks funny though, I just need input on these two movies or Altman in general....

Come on, man!! Chasing Amy was great. My favorite K.Smith movie.
Altman's boring btw.

Tanner '88 is the piece you're thinking of.

I concur - Altman's films are always completely hit or miss. Thus...

HIT: MASH; The Player; Kansas City; Nashville; and a forgotten gem, Fool For Love.

MISS: Popeye; Pret a Porte; Dr T and the Women
