Rear Window – September 1, 1954

Rear Window was released on September 1, 1954. It’s my second favorite Alfred Hitchcock film (after Notorious). Its got drama, humor, and a great cast.

Many years ago, I ordered Rear Window on VHS. I broke my foot before it arrived. I was wearing a cast on my leg when I watched James Stewart wearing a cast on his leg in Rear Window.

Trump caused a government brain drain

I’m sure this has happened at other departments. Trump showed how easy it was to undo decades of work. Would you want to work on something knowing that changing the president could undo all you accomplished?

Nathanael West’s A Cool Million would make a great Tim Burton animated film

A Cool Million is a 1934 novel by Nathanael West. It has modern parallels since the depression is similar to the hardships many face today. The main character, Lemuel Pitkin, loses limbs during the novel. It would look like a horror movie if it was live action instead of the satire it is. West skillfully skewers eternal optimism.

It would make a great Tim Burton animated movie. It would be gruesome but the gore would not be the point and would not obscure the humor.

There should be a TV show called “America’s Bloodiest Home Videos”

I’m being sarcastic in case that wasn’t clear. There are plenty of amateur videos of regular people fighting on YouTube and Twitter. I don’t approve of this behavior…but I’d watch the videos. Each episode could have a theme. I’ll post more restaurant fights. I guess only adults could watch it, at least on YouTube. These are from a quick search. There are many more.
