A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.

This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Yeah, the catsuits (plural) do kinda rock. That's Molly Shannon? Holy crap!

All the Hitchcock references make me want to go back to the jockey episode and see if there were any MARNIE references with Olive.

I don't remember that one well enough anymore. Just that it had a very young Sean Connery in it.

It's one that divides people. I'm of the school that it's pretty awsome, despite some questionable production values (i.e. blatant back screen projection stuff - kind of a Hitchcock staple, it's just it was state-of-the-art when he started with it) and dubious psychology (see also VERTIGO), but others think it was a big fall off the cliff for a great director (though some place it with the prior film, THE BIRDS).

Marnie is an extremely wacky movie. It's kind of like Bad Girls Go to Hell, but weirder.

There's a whole host of disturbing behind the scenes stories about that film. Basically, Hitchock's obsession with icy blondes came to a head vis-a-vis Tippi Hedren and his exploded.

I think when I saw it (must have been on TCM? It was part of a Hitch-fest) afterwards they talked a little about that, but I don't remember the details.

I do remember that I was talking to my mom after seeing it and she complained that the women in Hitchcock movies are always nuts. I argued that the men were just as crazy, and after thinking about it she conceded the point.

...and, oops, this isn't movies, is it? Sorry.

I did not get to see Pushing Daisies tonight on account of worthless ASU basketball game pre-empting it when those are normally NEVER televised on primetime network TV. Oh, I hope the alumni people call me for a donation this week, making someone cry would help ease the moving stress.
