This is probably random and off topic, but I was reading the past posts here and I think I read that Fredi likes Hitchcock movies. Which one of his is your favorite, Fredi?

Alrighty, what should I talk about?

My previous post was prematurely posted. Nice choices Fredi. I go to film school and I was suprised by how many of the students have heard about REAR WINDOW. Ask someone back home younger than 45 and they just look at you like you're insane.

PSYCHO didn't scare me until I researched how the Shower Scene was made and the catharsis it had on the audience in 1960. Then it freaked me out. I did manage to have a five minute convo with the late great Janet Leigh about that scene a few years ago.

Just a film school in NYC. It's great. Hitchcock has had the most influence on me.

I agree about how desensitized young people are today. Is it necessary to see a knife gutting twenty-eight people in five minutes of a movie to scare them? That's not scary. THE SIXTH SENSE was scary because it was subtle. And, though it wasn't really scary, I think Tim Burton's SLEEPY HOLLOW is just plain creepy. Such a great movie. Does anyone else think Burton should adapt the Sherlock Holmes novel THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLE'S into a film? I tried adapting it a while ago but was sidetracked with an original screenplay I wanted to write.

Oh yeah. Possibly the most popular entertainment of today would be dodging the prongs on the sides of opened umbrellas while walking up ny streets in a downpour.

Another totally random thought but did anyone other than me think M. Night Shyamalan's THE VILLAGE was NOT garbage?

Good night, Fredi

I kind of have the same problem with THE VILLAGE as I did with SIGNS. Both movies' first halves were very spooky. In THE VILLAGE there's the scene of the town at the huge table outside and they just stare at the woods and in SIGNS when Mel Gibson looks out his daugther's window and sees the silhouette of an alien on the roof.

It seems the film and theatre crowd understand THE VILLAGE. Go us.

I wonder what Shyamalan's follow up will be? Again, off topic - anyone catch the teaser trailer for Tim Burton's CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY?

"Do I have a right to be irked? Should I blow it off tomorrow?"

Yes. No.

I'd be irked too, but that doesn't mean you should blow off hanging out with your friends if you do this X-Mas/New Years thing every year. Just tell the person that seems to have taken it into their hands that you don't appreciate them doing that and it feels like they went behind your back about it when it was YOUR thing to organize in the first place.

And yes, that's a very good avatar. RIP Jerry.
