March 26Mar 26 man, forget vibes, this is a straight up reimagining of the player. even down to the long, continuous shot at the beginning.
March 26Mar 26 The Player is on Max. Definitely on my list this weekend. I like the pilot. I’ll give Rogen credit for toning it down and playing the straight man role. He really didn’t have a funny line until the Ray Liotta dick joke. Hahn made some strange choices. I think she played her role way too young. She’s been in the industry for decades. Everybody knows she’s in her 40’s or 50’s. I trust her. We’ll see where she goes with it.

March 28Mar 28 Loved it. I definitely enjoy behind the scenes Hollywood shows. Rogan is great in this.
March 28Mar 28 Glad to hear the good reviews here. Trying to find our next shows to watch and wanted to thjs to the list

March 31Mar 31 Ike Barinholtz's facial expressions when Rogen kept blabbing to Polley were so good. The phony laughter mixed with cringing, anticipatory horror.
March 31Mar 31 Technically speaking I was impressed with Ep 2. I don't know the camera rig but getting it off and back onto the car seamlessly, for the final part of the shot, was very cool. Unless that was just a masked cut which would be much less cool.
March 31Mar 31 I think the entire episode was a legit "oner." Variety article Funny that the Netflix show Adolescence just did the very same thing. Changing locations, following characters in a car, etc. Also not sure if they did it legit or used tricks.
April 1Apr 1 Seth Rogan and his 90 IQ being elevated above anything other than studio janitor seems implausible. Fun show though.
April 1Apr 1 Adolescence did it legit, there was a behind the scenes video on YT.There was a 12min feature in Netflix too that showed the process and how the camera was passed around and attached to vehicles/drones during filming.
April 1Apr 1 Author If you all are interested in one-takes, grab a copy of Russian Ark. Quote a 2002 experimental historical drama film directed by Alexander Sokurov. The plot follows an unnamed narrator, who wanders through the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg, and implies that he died in some horrible accident and is a ghost drifting through. In each room, he encounters various real and fictional people from various periods in the city's 300-year history. He is accompanied by "the European", who represents the Marquis de Custine, a 19th-century French traveler. Quote An international co-productionbetween Russia and Germany, Russian Ark was shot entirely in the Winter Palace of the Russian State Hermitage Museum on 23 December 2001, using a one-take single 87-minute Steadicam sequence shot. It extensively uses the fourth walldevice, but repeatedly broken and re-erected. At times, the narrator and the companion interact with the other performers, while at other times they pass unnoticed. Quote The film displays 33 rooms of the museum, which are filled with a cast of over 2,000 actors and three orchestras. Russian Ark was recorded in uncompressed high-definition video using a Sony HDW-F900 camera. The information was not recorded compressed to tape as usual, but uncompressed onto a hard disk which could hold 100 minutes which was carried behind the cameraman as he traveled from room to room, scene to scene. According to In One Breath: Alexander Sokurov's Russian Ark, the documentary on the making of the film, four attempts were made. The first failed at the five-minute mark. After two more failed attempts, they were left with only enough battery power for one final take. The four hours of daylight available were also nearly gone. Fortunately, the final take was a success and the film was completed at 90 minutes. Tilman Büttner, the director of photography and Steadicam operator, executed the shot on 23 December 2001. Here’s the making of
April 2Apr 2 From the Variety article linked above: Do you have a favorite mishap, especially when you were so close to getting a take? I think Kathryn Hahn…she would break the scene a lot of times because she would say something so ridiculously funny, and Seth would crack up, or half the cast or the operator would start laughing. Kathryn is so funny and has such good timing and improv that she can’t help but inject these brilliant moments. There were a lot of takes where she would say something just totally unplanned and hilarious, the take would be ruined, but we would then take that line and reincorporate it into the scene in the next take, and we would keep going. She was an amazing source of comedic relief at all times, and a wild card that was very much needed and adored in the show. I pictured that in Episode 3 happening often. Hahn is awesome. And her being quick-witted and funny puts her over the top. She's a hall pass if ever there were one.
April 16Apr 16 in the current episode, she says "if you threw a stapler at me you'd be dead, like scott rudin." to which sal says "is he dead?" and the reply was "professionally." fun fact, when i first interned on the paramount lot in 1997, our office was about 30 yards from rudin's side door and the interns and assistants routinely would escape from there and come into our reception area to cry. we didn't have much going on and used to hear horrific stories, mostly about him throwing stuff at people, so this hits close to home. not for me, but for people that i briefly knew a few decades ago.

May 1May 1 As someone who fell and shattered his hand, I feel they should have put up a warning at the beginning of the episode.

May 2May 2 The last two were both really good. His house was the same one they did The Oner in, right?
May 7May 7 It was so strange to have an Apple+ show having Ted Sarandos and Netflix winning awards with creators and actors from Hacks, a Max show. I thought it was good, its just rare that you see competitors sharing like that. I really hope someone thanks Sal Saperstein at next year's Golden Globes.
