If ever I made a podcast, I would make the pre-roll have absolutely nothing to do with the episode.

Eg: #BadObsessionMotorsports and #Hitchcock 's "Elevator Story."

Open Humanities Press has published Tom Cohen's #book Ecocide and Inscription vol. 1: Black Ops. Petrolepathy, Escaped Slaves, Cinemacide – A Tele-mnemonics for the After-Times.

Examining works by #Faulkner, #Morrison and #Hitchcock among others, Tom Cohen traces a ‘hyper-blackness’ that exceeds racial binaries and links to the viscous materiality of #oil. He argues that this #blackness before face or figuration offers a way to rupture the ‘Anthropocene’ spell and its attendant anaesthesias. By tracking inscriptions that melt back into a prefigural domain, Cohen outlines a literary structure of #climatechange itself, one that undoes conventional notions of meaning, reference, and #human exceptionalism.

Tonight's fine #movie with family - I think I saw it once long ago as an older teen on a damaged VHS copy my dad had - parts missing/skipped (he had plenty of other Hitchcocks on good tapes). Don't remember much of this at all. (I think I remember The Lady Vanishes much more; lots of train scenes in this)

Die gelangweilte Teenagerin Charlie (Teresa Wright) ist hocherfreut, als ihr Onkel Charlie (Joseph Cotten), nach welchem sie benannt ist, zu Besuch kommt. Als merkwürdige Details ans Licht kommen, wandelt sich ihre anfängliche Bewunderung allmählich in Misstrauen.

Absolute #Cinema!

This is Konsertpaleet (The Concert Palace) sometime in the years after the war. "Notorious" by Alfred #Hitchcock is showing, and drawing a crowd.

Konsertpaleet is still a cinema, now combined with its adjacent Engen Kino, but was opened as far back as 1918, as a venue for concerts. The #Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra played most of their concerts here until the opening of the Grieg Hall in 1978.

From the Archives: (Some of) The Women Who Wrote Hitchcock

Hitchcock gets a lot of credit for his mystery and suspense films, rightfully so, but sometimes that credit goes as far as erasing the writers who came up with the mysteries, twists, dark jokes, th…

“Grant as Thornhill is one of the most underrated comedic performances of the 20th century. Every single character he meets in this film is very clearly working to screw him over, yet he remains surprised at every turn” #CaryGrant #Hitchcock #NorthbyNorthwest www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

Every scene in Cary Grant’s mistaken identity caper is pure absurdity – including that famous cornfield chase. You can’t look away

Könnte sein, dass #StevenSpielberg sich für die "Car Factory Scene" (siehe Video ab 02m:00s) von #Hitchcocks in "Der unsichtbare Dritte" leider unrealisierten Szene inspirieren ließ, oder? 🤔
