Hitchcock Hands "It may have started as a visual way to keep interest in the silent film era. ... So it could be that this is just a leftover in his filmmaker's bag of tricks. But once you start to notice Hitchcock Hands, it's hard to stop seeing them. And to think it's just a coincidence, doesn't add up. He uses them comically as well as a way to show detail."
"Dennis Miller’s best ‘Monday Night Football’ moment — by far — was when he called a ref Alfred Hitchcock. Miller’s time in the broadcast booth was largely a bust, so no one really remembers this one highlight." This particular Monday Night Football game needed a dose of fun "There was nothing special about a Week 4 game between the Rams and Lions in 2001. It was no surprise that the Greatest Show on Turf pulled out the game without breaking much of a sweat. The Rams entered the game undefeated, well on their way to the 14-2 record they’d end up with that season. The Lions were their mirror opposite. They had yet to a win a game at that point and would go on to finish the season at a very Lions-in-the-aughts 2-14." "It was also Oct. 8, 2001, less than a month after 9/11. Life was hazy, as the entire country was still trying to figure out what the new normal looked like." "The final score was 35-0, by all intents a snoozer and not worth remembering in the slightest. The game’s one saving grace came when the camera panned to referee Tom White, who was giving the official explanation for why he threw a flag." “Referee Alfred Hitchcock making the call,” Miller chimed in, with just the right comedic timing.
Alfred Hitchcock is on the ball! "This vintage baseball has red stitching and is in VG shape overall and mega-RARE! It comes black ink signed across the sweet spot superbly by this long-deceased director and the ball comes with a COA that is signed by deceased former big-time collector Barry Halper. Retails WELL into the thousands and a nice self portrait of himself included by Alfred!"
Spellbound: the movie that Salvador Dalí painted for Alfred Hitchcock "A pivotal moment of Hitchcock’s film was a dream: the one described by Gregory Peck to the psychiatrists who were helping him recover the lost memory. Hitchcock sensed the moment and asked Dalí to draw the scenography for that three-minute sequence."
