I've only seen Psycho and I think one of his earlier ones, I don't really want to watch his movies because he was a psychopath who tortured women

 

Fuck, I've seen twenty Hitchcock movies in the last month.

 

Seriously, I consider myself a fairly pedestrian film fan and I've seen at least 20 of his films.

 

My roommates are going to be gone for the week, which means I get to set up the DVD player in the living room and plow through all the DVDs I haven’t watched. They talk through every movie we watch, which is a crime that should get anyone sent to a re-education labor camp.

 

watching movies alone is one of the greatest joys in life

 

until you're watching Hereditary at night and lightning strikes and knocks out the power right at the height of Toni Collette's scream

 

Going to the movie theater alone is the best.

 

yeah it's a pain being like will I like this movie and also will other people like it

 

The only movies that I ever even consider asking other people to go to with me are broad comedies.

 

Yeah I hate even watching movies at home with my girlfriend if I’m unsure whether or not she’ll enjoy it.

 

me and my wife watch movies together all the time

 

I stopped trying to recommend movies to people a long time ago. It just ended up being a giant waste of their time because it was not what they were expecting or what they want out of movies.

 

If someone recommends something to me unsolicited there's like a 10% chance I'll watch it

But if I ask for a recommendation I feel obligated to watch it

 

My girlfriend and I watch movies together all the time. There’s just some I know or think she won’t like and keep those for myself.

 

One of the best things is when I want to watch one thing, my wife wants to watch something else, so we agree to do our own thing for the night

 

I have no problem making my fiancé sit through my movies that she couldn't care less about lmao. She usually enjoys what I pick out though.

 

do you watch movies that she wants that you couldn’t care less about? That’s the only way it’s fair.

 

Rear Window is the only Hitchcock movie I’ve seen more than twice I think. Love that one.

 

I saw Psycho for the first time in years in a theater last year and it almost gave me a panic attack. Still absolutely terrifying.

 

Psycho was the first movie I saw at the Music Box. Wonderful theater.

 

Oh yeah definitely. But I usually end up enjoying them anyways, it's just difficult to get me to want to watch something new sometimes haha. She's huge into true crime and I wasn't ever interested, but now I'm hooked. Same with some action films. I'm mostly into comedy, but she made me watch Aliens and it was incredible.

 

The new Pixar movie Soul is one of the best movies I have ever seen, full of different emotions and sooo needed to end 2020

 

Uncle Charlie's monologue in Shadow of a Doubt is still, for me, both the most disturbing and best piece of writing in any Hitchock film:

 

Is there a How To With John Wilson thread? That show rules

 

Yes there is and yes it does
