THe first Hitchcock film I saw was BIRDS while I was babysitting in high school. That movie gave me nightmares...

I love Rear Window and Vertigo.....

I think it was in the early 80s they used to have a program on the telly that was something like Alfred Hitchcock presents. I remember liking some of those

I think "all-time" posting records must be allowed to happen without anticipating them.

It was not one of those Oscar years in which folks were jazzed about the nominees, IMO.

That's probably one of the reasons folks didn't participate as much as in the past.

I think you're right.

Pleasant dreams everyone!

That said, neither was last year, but somehow it just took on a life of its own, but we had three or four more people who, this year, were errant and truant.

There was more at work - last year we were about 300 posts ahead of this year when the Oscars started! The day was filled with lots of Oscar food jokes and comments on Joan Rivers pre-show, and most posters were about. Yesterday there were a bunch of regulars absent throughout much of the day (me, Woody, Cillaliz, Edisaurus, etc.). By the time the telecast was over, and I had caught up, the thread was closed (not that I had any particular insightful comments - like many of you I was just plain bored). And I also think the attempts to avoid controversy led to a general dampening of the hi-jinks.

Frankly it's difficult to do a fun show about a group of "not-fun" movies - the show reflected the nominees - too serious and a bit full of itself.

Good morning, all! I missed the Oscars, as I said I would, socatching up on all the posts isn't difficult because I can't relate to nearly all of them. I watched the PBS final third of PRIDE & PREJUDICE and turned off the lghts around 10:45.

I have all morning to get these 43 cartons into my hallway, label 21 of them, call Fed Ex support, print out a manifest for the pickup, and work on my other assignments this morning. I believe the pickup is scheduled between noon and 7 pm, so I'm pretty much stuck around the apartment today.

I knew Alfred Hitchcock from his television show. The first movie of his that I saw was THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH which was on a drive-in double bill in 1958 or 1959. I don't remember the main feature, probably a western which my father liked to see - so it may have been a John Wayne movie.

BUT I do remember THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH and Doris Day and James Stewart desperate to find their son....and I remember they said they were from Indianapolis.... And I remember Doris singing that song, which I knew by the end of the movie. I had heard it before but I didn't know it was from a movie. The Concert Hall sequence had me so tense and nervous, I ate the whole front of my shirt.....

The only OTHER Hitchcock film I saw that wasn't on television was NORTH BY NORTHWEST again at the drive-in sometime in the 1960's on a double bill with THE WILD BUNCH.

Casting vibes for MR BK.....carry a pic of Miss Allison around with you....she will bring you luck.

At the encouragement of DR MATTH and with comments by DR MBARNUM, I went this morning and bought an up convert DVD player and cable which I will attempt to install directly.

Pray for Rosemary's Baby.

DRs JMK and RLP also have written many comments about the difference in their viewing regular DVD's in this way, so I thought since I have a 21st century Television, I might as well have a 21st Century player.

I did not go ahead and buy a Blu Ray player since DR MATTH said that the price would be lower in the future. The Phillips player I bought was only $45 + 13.99 for the cable.

I will be back when my task is accomplished.

OMG - The Gentrys from 1965.....it was their song in that JC PENNEY commercial.

No enhancement, no studio tricks....just a few guys and rock and roll.

My gosh I think that's DRs JEANNE and JANE MR BK dancing down in front of the band.

Sound is out of synch....but that's okay.

The Gentrys ROCK!!!!

Jrand75 · « **Reply #22 on:** February 25, 2008, 04:46:19 AM »

And the guys were all nice looking except for one.

Jrand75 · « **Reply #23 on:** February 25, 2008, 04:53:48 AM »

And yes that is Jimmy Hart (the Mouth of the South 'rassling promoter) singing with the band.

DR JRand57 - where do you go shopping, that is open so early to allow you to be back home already?

singdaw · « **Reply #26 on:** February 25, 2008, 04:58:34 AM »

FRENZY is my least favorite, also. Of the few that I've seen.
