11/4/18 review of the film Marnie, directed by Alfred Hitchcok

Here is the link to my November 4, 2018, Twitter thread review of the film Marnie, directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

Twitter's platfom has twisted each of my threads through 2018 and 2019 out of chronological order. This thread is affected, but is still mostly coherent. My apologies.

Thank you for reading. Please enjoy.

10/29/17 review of documentary 78/52: Hitchcock's Shower Scene


Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the documentary 78/52: Hitchcock's Shower Scene, directed by Alexandre O. Philippe.

The thread gives a summary of and some context on the film and the shower scene from Hitchcock's film Psycho. It gives some context on Alexandre O. Philippe. The thread discusses some of the film's themes, like the cultural backdrop on Hitchcock's film Psycho, critic obsessiveness, fan obsessiveness, pro art and fan art, and the validity of everybody's experience of art. The thread also gives some of my criticisms of the documentary.

I saw this film at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema's Sloans Lake theater in Denver, Colorado.
