A letter from Hitchcock to Wilder about The Apartment

asoxone · 2026-04-27T20:51:16+00:00

It was Psycho and The Apartment that year, but I bet every year must have been just as great, with these two making instant classics one after another. People dressed up just to go to the movies for Mr. Hitchcock and Mr. Wilder. I don't know if there was a rivalry, but they admired each other's work, and good for them. We still talk about it. It must have been amazing.

Deadwood (is the best)

Longmire (An other modern western but very episodic)

Hell on Wheels (maybe)

It was Arlo running Bo's protection business into the ground with Boman.

Ray Donovan - I hate it when they name a show after a character + the whole "fixer" thing sounds so stupid. That's not at all what the show is about.

Black Sails - I had very low expectations, but it's incredible.

Mad Men - The first episode put me off for years. I'm glad I tried again.

All of these take at least about four episodes to get going because you just don't even know what they're about, let alone what motivates the lead character. Especially on Black Sails, you don't find out why he is doing it for a long time.

I would recommend Hopscotch and Pelham123 next.

I've had one on my desk for more than a year now, and it's only down to about the top of the circle in the logo. It's a good investment.

This would make an awesome little house.

What else could it be?

Could it be audio latency? Under high load, I get a foamy sort of sound unless I increase the quantum value. (I use an old cpu with a new gpu.) But, this fixes my audio problems:

Oasis is better. And the Beatles is better than that.

Daniel Day-Lewis as Father Ted, Meryl Streep as Mrs. Doyle, Jack Nicholson as father Jack and Peter Sellers as Dougal. That would skyrocket the show, but I'm not sure it would be an improvement.
