Robert Altman

Finally saw The Player, I've seen probably 15 of his movies already. It is, of course, great. There were a couple of subtle things in it that I liked alot. The love interest is icelandic, and has 'dottir' in her last name. I think icelandic names are awesome -- you are either someone's son or somebody's daughter. That year in Bjorn and Inga's house with Ryan and Sharon, we learned a bit about icelandic life... A less profound thing was that Cylon number one from BSG is in it. Granted there are about 200 recognizable actors in The Player, but fun none-the-less.

Onion AV did a nice overview of Altman's movies when he died.
