No need to review. Just a blurb. One of my favorite blurbs was from knife_fight for Psycho.
I guess lots of people think you're supposed to like Psycho. and I also guess that it's a combo of it being in black and white and done by Hitchcock.
but whatever the reason, even if it's just my idiotic brain that has been trained to think that black & white equals aesthetically pleasing, this film looks great. it is, of course, because of Hitchcock's direction.
there are plenty of tv shows and books about why this movie is great, or at least why you should think it is great, but I figured I'd give you one of my reasons. I like it because it reminds me of vacation.
at Universal Studios in Florida they useta have a show about Hitchcock where they recreated the Shower Scene verbatim. they showed exactly how Hitchcock shot that scene on a soundstage in front of a semi-small audience. it was amazing. it really made me appreciate that scene and, in turn, the entire movie.
they got rid of that show, unfortunately, along with a bunch of other really cool shit (like the Kong ride), but I still remember that, at one time, Universal Studios Florida had something special and meaningful, and not just lowest-common-denominator shit. or run-on sentences
Great blurb, little review. I don't expect everyone to be as eloquent as
PR3SSUR3 with his Cannibal Holocaust dissertation or
neverendings wonderful Incredible Shrinking Man review. Hell,
Slasherman used to give one sentence.
I don't always write the greatest blurbs myself. No need to be nominated for a Pulitzer. Just honest thoughts about your passion.
