We're apparently right up to the shower scene. Our media teacher (named Mr Greenwood, so I'll try to fit as many Radiohead references as possible) told us to watch a documentary about it, ignoring that not all of us have Netflix. |
ignore the dumb teacher
watch the movie first—then watch the documentaries—then rewatch i know of which i speak of :P — ok long story short almost everyone in the humanities reads only criticism and ignores the source texts this causes the primacy of critical garbage over art so when people watch or read something they no longer try to see it for what it is (however impossible that might be) instead they go to texts in order to “apply” a theory to it. apriori! HORRIBLE you’re too young to get damaged that way feel art first, think about it later. aesthetics will always whoosh past the eggheads. but beauty is real. |

Not all the way through yet, gotcha. Hope you're enjoying it thus far. |
Well, we finished watching it.
Damn that was a good movie - that last scene is really going to stick with me for ages. The big reveal may be slightly problematic in these enlightened times though |

My favourite theory about the psychiatrist scene is that says it was Hitchcock's idea but he deliberately made the psychiatrist seem ridiculous so as to poke fun at those movie critics who'd used psychoanalysis (which he loathed) to try and explain his previous films.
Anyway, I wish I'd got to see films like Psycho at school. This Mr Greenwood sounds a fuck of a lot better than the fuckers I had to deal with. |

makes me wanna throw a shoe at the screen lolol and you’re right abut mr greenwood. i think chocky is in some fancy school haha. i just get up in arms sometimes... |
Hot take: the Gus van Sant remake of Psycho w Vince Vaughn is better

Also De Palma's Body Double is better than Rear Window
Same goes for that Shia LeBouf movie.. Disturbia? The Birds and Vertigo are masterful, however How are the Psycho sequels? What about that Bates Motel show? Demonrail... didnt you just watch th3se? |
Hell even that Sasha Grey / Elijah Wood knockoff is better
![]() OPEN WINDOWS!! Hahaha that movie was wild I guess none of these could exist without Hitchcock laying out the blueprint but they really took his initial concept and threw in more spicy meatballs |

Defy authority, watch the remake anyway. What's the worst that can happen? Lose a couple hours of life?

Not me. I might've seen the 1st sequel, years ago, but it left no impression. Quote:
You must spread more reputation before giving it to Mr Greenwood again. |
The remake was criticized for being a shot for shot, and too close to the original. How can it be "shit" if the original is so great?
*insert longwinded rant about how Van Sant is underrated, and pretend like hes more iconic than Hitchcock to see if I can get anyone to argue w me* Van sant is certainly more to my taste, anyway. |
i apologize, mr. greenwood
i judged you too soon im a democrat and find the accused guilty unless proven innocent beyond a reasonable doubt hahaha |
Last movie that I watched was 'Aquaman'. Very colorful and interesting)
