Alfred Hitchcock is, in my opinion (and others!), one of the greatest artists of the twentieth century. I've seen all of his movies, except one. At some point I started taking notes. Renting his videos and watching them in slow motion soon followed. And then I fell among among film philosophers. After that, it was a slippery slope. Somehow, this led to the blog you now hold at your fingertips. It's also gotten the attention of the producers of the Broadway hit The 39 Steps, who've offered me some very cool opportunities to speak to their audience after the show.
I believe Hitchcock will go down in history as the Shakespeare of the 20th Century. You geek your way. I'll geek mine.
This blog now has thousands of visitors stopping by each month from all over the world. I'd be thrilled to add you to my community of friends, so please drop me line here, or on Twitter or Facebook.
Note: Some of my posts assume that you're already familiar with the movie I'm discussing. If you aren't, you may want to visit its IMDb plot synopsis to get up to speed. Just hurry back to my site, okay?
Another note: This is a blog, not a peer reviewed journal, all right? As such, these are my thoughts in progress. I welcome your comments and discussion.

I love your blog, so I've given you the Premio Dardos award! All the details are on my blog.
I just found your blog because I'm also a big fan of Alfred. I first heard of him when I was at Universal Studios. It's pretty cool to be on the set of Psycho. I'm going to go see the musical soon because I'm in New York for school. I liked the blog a lot.
