Hi, Brian!  How've you been?

Yes, I saw "The Player."  It's actually very accurate, much of it
taken from actual anecdotes and spun around a little.  It's really sad
that it was so "on the nose."  You really (or I do anyway) have a hard
time beloevong that something as big as the movies is run in this way,
but it is.

The pitching stuff was especially true for me (with the short
attention span and concentration on almost irrelevant details).
