[Review] Psycho

Post by Ice Cream Jonsey »

Huh, I always heard that Norman Bates didn't kill anybody.

Here's what gets me about this film, what with it being old as fuck and everything -- Anthony Perkins just has this very fey way about him in the beginning of the movie. I am going to go ahead presume that this is how every strapping young man acted in the 1950s. They say Alfred Hitchcock is a genius. To be honest, I didn't see it in this film. But he did manage to make me think for an instant that the 1950s were a better time, as people were more polite to one another and going and having dinner with the foppish dandy of a motel owner was not out of the question. It was the ideal time and place to live, except for of course all the schizophrenic slayings and tar pit dumpings.

See how some movies older than [year when Daredevil came out] can be good too, ICJ?

Which reminds me, how did you like Strangelove?

You idiot.
When you need my help because I'm ruining everything, don't look at me.
