The birds scarred me for life. Never again will I look upon one in the same way. Except pigeons. Pigoens are cool.

I know it's blasphemy from someone who loves movies, but I could never get into Hitchcok's style, too obviously staged, which I know was his thing, but...

I did grow up watching and loving his TV series and pulp magazine.

Well as Ville Valo once artfully called them they are 'harbingers of doom' evil buggers.

yea, I can see where Hitchcock would be an acquired taste...

But there is more suspense in his horror then graphic blood and guts

I type this as I watch psycho, but that is more imagination that creeps me out then it being depicted on tv

Happy Halloween week!

Yes, much more suspense than gore. Thing is, I know before he ever shot a movie he had the whole thing planned out, shot by shot, camera move by camera move, and I've very aware of that when I watch his filmsthey always seem slightly stilted to me. But he did give the world the "McGuffin". (Probably splled that wrong.)

I like lots of things, but for different reasons. My favorites are probaly the old black-and-white mysteries of the 1930s, but I like most things for one reason or another. It's not that i won't watch Hitchcock, it's just I don't think he's a great as he's supposed to be. The last few DVDs I picked up were KNOCKED UP, PAN'S LABYRINTH, and a double DVD of the two DR. PHIBES films. I tend to record the old mysteries and silent films off TCM.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
