What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I saw Hitchcock's last two movies today: Frenzy and Family Plot. The former was a solid and tense thriller, but I felt like something was missing, perhaps because it was the sort of movie Hitchcock had made many times before (wrongly accused man has to clear his name), just more lurid and disturbing (the villain is a serial killer/rapist, and there is a rape scene). The latter, though, was great fun and very entertaining. Barbara Harris is a hoot.

What's really fun about Family Plot is that it's filmed almost entirely in San Francisco, but they're pretending it's not.

I noticed that! When the kidnappers were pulling into their house on a hill, it looked so much like San Francisco, but I hadn't heard any references to where the movie was supposed to be taking place.

Also, Karen Black looked great in her disguise get up.
FAMILY PLOT was the first Hitchcock movie I ever saw. It definitely skews your opinion of Bruce Dern, since I don't think he was ever cast that likable before or since. And, yes, Barbara Harris rocked.

I loved the scene when she was in the kitchen having a shushed conversation with Bruce Dern and intermittently CRYING OUT TO HENRY for the mark.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Liam Hemsworth says he's in the running to be Peeta in The Hunger Games.
He's not what I have in my minds eye, but blond he could work.
