This is only yer pitiable opinion. Among those who know and understand he was considered one of the most original. He had a huge influ16d0ence on those who followed his time. And what have you directed worth remembering??

Wow. Some people have to fling t5b4heir angry, hate-filled political opinions into EVERYTHING. Even a nuetral IMDb message board. Altman was an egotistical douchebag? How egotistical is it of you to think your opinion is the only one that matters? You must be a miserable, frustrated person. And political opinions are like bungholes in case you didn't notice.
We'll see whose the filthiest person alive! We'll just see! -

Ugh. Another "worst of all time" post. How original. I'm going to try to explain this to you very simply. "Good" and "Bad" are subjective depending on the person. Just because you think something is "Bad" doesn't make it so therefore stating it as "Fact" is completely erroneous. What is "Bad" to you could be "Good" to someone else. And vice versa. I love Altman. You don't. That doesn't make you or me right or wrong. It just means we have different opinions and tastes. Got it? Now go tell your third-grade teacher what you learned. I'm sure she'll be impressed.

His output was uneven, and there were a few rotten movies in his vast filmography. But he also directed some really good films and the fact that he could call on big stars for films like The Player etc shows how much appreciated he was in Holywood even though he had an independent streak.
Its that man again!! -

'appreciated he was in Holywood even though he had an independent streak'.
There is something pretentious about admiring Altman for the sake of the fact that he's Altmanand for him, claiming to have an independent streak because it makes one feel special.
Give me less 'independent streak', and more filmmaking. -

I know,rob
You see, we are not supposed to get it. His praise is from the 'sophisticated' elite that has such an advanced perception of 'art' than we do. It's like when everybody bows down to the Emperorexcept the the Emperor has no clothes. -

HE WINS, HANDS DOWN, MAYBE NOT ALL HIS FAULT THOUGHI CAN ONLY IMAGINE HE HAD MANY FRIENDS IN HOLLYWOOD THAT COULD AFFORD TO LET HIM DIRECT THEIR MOVIE. MOST OF YOU KISSING HIS *** HERE ARE IDIOTS WHEN ALTMAN HIMSELF WOULD AGREE WITH ME. JUST READ UP ABOUT HIM YOU CAN'T BLAME HIM ENTIRELY WHEN HE'S ALLOWED TO MAKE AS MUCH GARBAGE AS HE DID. WE CAN'T EVEN CALL it CINEMA ANY LONGER, JUST "FLICKS", AND HIS POOR "METHOD" OF FLICK-MAKING IS HUGELY RESPONSIBLE. I DOUBT ANY OF US WHO REMARKED IN HERE COULD MANAGE TO NOT MAKE A MASTERPIECE THAT WOULD BEAT ANY OF HIS BEST WORK. NOT WITH THAT MANY SHOTS AT IT. THOSE OF YOU WITH, "WELL YOU JUST DON'T 'GET' HIS INTREPRETATIONS OR HE DOESN'T CATER TO THOSE WHO PAY TO SEE A STORY WITH A BEGINNING AND AN END AND STRUCTURED", YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR MINDS. NOTHING COULD BE MORE NATURAL THAN FOR HUMANS TO READ, WATCH, LISTEN, ETC TO SOMETHING THAT TELLS A STORY THAT STARTS AND ENDS, HELLO? YOU THINK IT'S ARTSY T2000O SPEND YOUR TIME WITH A STORY AND GO HOME SUSPENDED ETERNALLY CAUSE YOU THINK IT'S CUTE TO HAVE NO CLIMAX, NO ENDING? YEAH, TRY SELLING THAT IDEA TO MOVIE STUDIOS. EVEN NOW, WITH THE SH** THEY PUT OUT, THEY'D HAVE YOU THROWN OUT OF THE BUILDING. HE WAS LAZY AND WOULDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO READ THE WHOLE SCRIPT WITH HIS MOVIES, AND HE WAS THE DIRECTOR! JUST HAVE YOUR ACTORS KILL OFF SOME TIME AD-LIBBING; JESUS HE WAS TERRIBLE.
