I absolutely love these videos but why on earth you keep flipping between camera angles all the time. Isn’t the actor enough?

  It’s to cut down on pauses they take between sentences, etc. It’s to reduce the runtime.

All these encounters with Altman and Steve Martin are delightful.
The Player is one of my favorite films and what I had hoped OUATIH would be.

To be honest he’s the absolute best part about Hudson Hawk. The way he says “Wooooorld…. DOMINATION!!” kills me every time – so wonderfully over the top; I love it!

It’s amazing to hear such an exeptionally talented actor be so humble about himself, and so generous about other people.
A truly unique person !
