	The Player (1992)
		And so, director Altman gives us "The Player", a film about a screen writing executive (well played by Tim Robbins) who listens to story ideas, and makes decisions about what you and I see, and don't see, at the local multiplex.
		It's actually a weak premise, because in reality the business of screen writing is fairly bland, and the conflict, which exists mostly in people's heads, is fairly tame.
		The best approach to "The Player" is to absorb the Tinseltown setting, and watch the characters as they maneuver for selfish advantage.

	The Player Piano (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The player piano may not necessarily be considered a robot, it is however, a fine example of an early machine that possesses the ability to be "reprogrammed" to operate independently with a myriad of variations.
		At the bottom of the piano are two pedals which power the player apparatus through the use of suction.
		This causes an increase in pressure inside the player mechanism which causes a particular hammer to strike a string thus producing sound.

	The Game, the Player, the World: Looking for a Heart of Gameness
		Player effort is another way of stating that games are challenging, or that games contain a conflict, or that games are "interactive".
		Attachment of the player to the outcome is a psychological feature of the game activity which means that there is a convention by which the player is attached to specific aspects of the outcome.
		As such, attachment of the player to the outcome is a less formal category than the previous ones in that it depends on the player's attitude towards the game; it is part of what we may term the "game contract" or lusory attitude (Suits, p.38-40) that the player agrees to by playing.

	EA - Medal of Honor Pacific Assault
		Players want to be in control, they want to play the game how they want to play it, and try to solve gameplay scenarios with their own ideas.
		The player is going to wonder why all of a sudden their squad's speed slowed for no discernable reason, and most likely get frustrated and annoyed.
		A better way to let this example solve itself is to allow the player to realize that if they run ahead on their own, they're going to encounter groups of enemies that are probably larger than they can handle alone.

	Card Player Magazine - Playing the Player by Jim Brier
		But against a bad player, he will not realize that your hand is too big to bet, so he may stay with you all the way to the river if he catches anything on the turn.
		However, against many other players, this would represent an obvious bluffing situation, so you would be obliged to call with your overpair and probably pay out to the river.
		Against the typical, aggressive $80-$160 player, calling is right because guys at this level are usually capable of bluff-betting a flush when four of a suit shows up at the river.

		To be more specific, in pot-limit, good players can often win against weak, predictable players almost irrespective of their own hand, and they try to do everything they can to get involved with these players as often as possible.
		Professional player's thoughts: Even though this is not the card I had initially hoped for, it is still a great help for my hand.
		And if you try to counter their strategy by simply check-calling all the time, they will pick up on this faster than you can imagine, and you are going to lose a lot of money; in pot-limit, there is no place for people who check-call on a regular basis.

	:: rogerebert.com :: Reviews :: The Player (xhtml)
		Robert Altman's "The Player," which tells Griffin's story with a cold sardonic glee, is a movie about today's Hollywood -- hilarious and heartless in about equal measure, and often at the same time.
		Now he is back in glorious vengeance, with a movie that is not simply about Hollywood, but about the way we live now, in which the top executives of many industries are cut off from the real work of their employees, and exist in a rarefied atmosphere of greedy competition with one another.
		"The Player" opens with a very long continuous shot that is quite a technical achievement, yes, but also works in another way, to summarize Hollywood's state of mind in the early 1990s.

	Power Basketball, coaching youth basketball resource: The Player Progress Report
		At this level the player has been exposed to some teaching or learning on his or her own about a specific fundamental skill component, however it is being performed poorly.
		Unfortunately, if the player hasn't been taught a fundamental skill component, then chances are great that the player is not going to demonstrate the skill at all.
		I should also mention that in addition to the many benefits of the Player Progress Report mentioned here, it is also fun for the players to anticipate getting it, spending time looking it over with his or her parents, and trying to get a better grade during the next marking period.

		In the homes of the wealthy, for they were the only poeple who could afford their rather astronomical price tags, were the reproducing pianos--the players capable of exact re-enactment of the performances of the great artists of the day.
		All Milton players have an automatic tracking mechanism whose job it is to correct for irregularities in the rolls.
		This depends on the player and there is no way to generalize the procedures for the more than 300 different player manufacturers.

		If "The Player" has a meaning, it's that everyone who wants power in Hollywood has to sell their souls -- legally, personally, or just by selling out so your movie has a pat happy ending.
		And during dramatic scenes (the murder, the cobra, the phone calls), Altman stretches the tension as taut as a wire, and leaves it to slowly slacken over the scenes that follow.
		"The Player" was a comeback film for Robert Altman, whose fortunes had declined in the 80s.

	BBC - Films - review - The Player
		Tim Robbins ("Bob Roberts", "Bull Durham") plays Griffin Mill, a high-flying studio exec whose complacency is shaken when he receives a series of threatening postcards from a writer he's slighted.
		From the eight-minute tracking shot that opens the picture to the film-within-a-film that ends it, "The Player" marked a triumphant comeback for the director of "Nashville" and "MAS*H".
		Though some of the comedy is a little forced (especially Whoopi Goldberg's grating turn as a tampon-wielding detective), it's a masterly distillation of Tinseltown foibles which also works as a compelling moral thriller and a commentary on the cult of celebrity.
