love alfred hitchcock. he's a master of suspense. he thought
that style was very important, and also gave a simple
analogy of how suspense was far more effective than shock.

"Two men are having a conversation. They are talking about
baseball. All of a sudden, a bomb explodes. There is only a
ten-second reaction from the audience due to the shock. Now,
let's have the same conversation, only this time you show
the audience the bomb. What does the audience do? They
scream 'Don't talk about baseball! There's a bomb under
there!'"

Anyways, i still LOVE Psycho.

i recently saw "the birds" after not having seen it in many
years. I found it incredibly dissapointing. mostly because
at the end there is given no explaination, no resolution,
and no result for the bird invasion. i thought the movie
itself had a few chilling scenes, but also, i thought the
characters often had un-realistic, or down-right rediculous
reactions to the bird attacks. especially during the whole,
"don't go upstairs! don't open that door! don't enter the
room and close the door behind you! don't turn the knob and
let yourself out of the room when the birds attack you!"
scene.

my favorite hitchcock so far is probably strangers on a
train. or wait, no, psycho. but i haven't seen a lot of his
films. I'd still like to see Vertigo. I tried watching
Rear Window but got bored and couldn't finish it. so i'd
like to give that one another shot as well.

that's all i got to say about hitchcock.
