Morning, all!

TOD: "North by Northwest," which I believe is the only Hitchcock film that I've actually seen from beginning to end. Really should pick up a few more, but have no time... :/

[ChasSmith]

Further on Hitchcock and b&w TV:

As a kid I believe there was a period when I conflated REAR WINDOW with THE WINDOW -- which I also saw a number of times on TV in those early years.

[MBarnum]

TOD:

The Birds

and

The Birds

[Ginny]

I think someone's hacked my email: I am getting 3-10 emails a day for the past week inviting me to look at naked young ladies or to meet Minette, Yvette, Alphabette, and Kitty. It's hard to mark them as spam since every wet (that's what they tell me!) young lady has a different email address. Damn.

That's usually the case these days.  I use gmail to gather all of my email, and whenever a new crop of spam starts showing up in the inbox, I just have to mark 'em individually, and usually after a few days of that, gmail begins to learn.  It's ridiculous, though, how suddenly a new and very obvious crop of these will suddenly be allowed through.

DR Elmore, I get far less spam on my Gmail account than my Road Runner.  In fact, I only check RR about once a week and mostly to clean out the junk mail.

Good morning, all, and happy Thursday vibes.

[John G.]

TOD:

First Hitchcock? Probably either "The Birds" or "I, Confess."

Favorite: "Strangers on a Train"

Desert island flick: "To Catch a Thief" or "Notorious"

[John G.]

I love "Foreign Correspondent," but I think part of the movie's bad rap comes from journalists writing about journalists. The way journalism is portrayed in the movie is somewhat silly. No time to bang out a story, etc., yet the job is always done. And most critics have lived the black-and-white of it, so they take aim.

I had watched the tv show, but I believe PSYCHO was my first film.

[DakotaCelt]

Birds was my first Hitchcock film...

I did like Rear Window

[Matthew]

Good Morning

[Matthew]

TOD - I think I've only seen "Psycho", "The Birds" and "Rear Window"

[Jane]

Is anyone watching season 6 of DOC MARTIN?  We aren't getting it.  I checked and our library has it and I put a hold on it.  I gather it will be awhile since I'm 16th on the queue.

[Jane]

I was very pleased when I checked my eBook library hold list this morning and found the book I requested on there.  I'm first in the queue and since I also made a request using Keith's account he is 2nd.  That will give me plenty of time to read the book

Car has oil....yes about 600 miles early DR ELMORE....but I am going into my busy driving season, so I like to get ready early.  Tires were also rotated.....so I am ready.

[Jrand73]

There are only a couple of Hitchcock films that I do not like.....The Wrong Man and I Confess....

My first was probably a television showing of THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH.

Favorites have already been mentioned:

PSYCHO
FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT
NOTORIOUS
NORTH BY NORTHWEST

It would be hard for me to choose a favorite among those four.  I also like THE BIRDS and STRANGERS ON A TRAIN.

[Jane]

I think my first Hitch film was his remake of THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH with Day & Stewart, still one of my all time Hitchock favorites.  If not than it was likely TO CATCH A THIEF.

It is difficult to chose just one movie.  I will have to think about it.

[Jane]

I will start with naming a few of my favorites:
Rebecca
Notorious
Lifeboat
Strangers on a Train
Vertigo
The Birds
Marnie

[John G.]

Just catching up on yesterday.

Vibes for Prairie.

Laura, beautiful birdy photos. Thank you for sharing them.

[bk]

I'm up, I'm up.  I was up at seven then fell back asleep at eight. 

[bk]

As to my first Hitchcock - those who have Benjamin Kritzer know that it was probably The Man Who Knew Too Much at the Lido Theater - although I may have seen Rear Window when it came out.

[Ron Pulliam]

Favorite Hitchcocks:

The Lady  Vanishes
Rebecca
Foreign Correspondent
The Trouble With Harry
Rear Window
Vertigo
North by Northwest
The Birds

First Hitchcock:

IIRC, it was "Psycho".

A snippet of Sally Mayes singing in Blue Roses, the musical version of Glass Menagerie. It's a pretty song, but I'm not sure it fits Amanda's character. Still it's always nice to hear Sally Mayes:

TOD 2: I would probably add The 39 Steps to my desert island list.

[George]

This deserved to be preserved (I'm a poet and didn't know it ):



That's definitely a milestone AND a plateau!

I'm able to do that with my Comcast e-mails, and it seems to work for me.

Time to head out. First, the barber, then Toyland.I've got my dinner packed along with Reese cups for the office fridge. I hope tonight's rehearsal goes well.

It is very pretty.  Do you happen to know who the other singer is?  Just curious.

Well, since we're so close...
