Mrs. Peel Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Last night I got around to watching the two Dick Cavett episodes I Tivoed last month: Alfred Hitchcock and Robert Mitchum. Did Hitchcock ever write a book? I'm so intrigued to hear stories of his filming career. It was obvious he only scratched the surface of a myriad of incredible stories about filming techniques and strange incidents with actors during the interview. Link to post Share on other sites

oatmealblizzard Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Watched this last night. It was pretty good, I guess...but nothing spectacular. Not nearly as good as any of their albums. I most certainly plan to check this out this weekend:Its garnering some excellent reviews. Link to post Share on other sites

OOO Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I expected sharper satire and less general silliness, but I still laughed a lot. Just saw this as well, definitely quite a few hilarious parts, and some that make you cringe at the people who live in America. The University of South Carolina was not represented well.
