I'm currently rewatching early 40s Hitchcock ( Foreign Correspondent, Saboteur, etc.) and Lifeboat is up next.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Saboteur is so odd, isn't it? Not really a GOOD movie, but fascinating.

I liked it more than I remembered, but I love all of his innocent-man-on-the-lam (who wins the trust of the beautiful woman) films. See also, Young and Innocent, The 39 Steps, and, of course, North by Northwest.
Also, Saboteur is one of the hardest Hitchcock cameos to spot.

I have tried to watch Saboteur a few times on the late movie, and always end up falling alseep.

It's certainly one of those films that really shouldn't be two hours long.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I watched The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift yesterday. Despite having only the loosest connection to the franchise, it was better than the second movie for some reason. Possibly because Han was awesome. I'm a little excited for the new movie now!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It could be a costume party, except then you'd have to worry about someone showing up naked with their skin dyed blue....
