It wasn't a rebuttal, but nice try anyway. And Cary Grant wouldn't have done trash like Boy Meets World.

I have a second book idea. Scrap another Hitchcock one and go after a better director. Michael Bay has had a lot of hits. People love his movies, and they're actually in color and have cool explosions. That already makes them better.

you sure do seem to have a lot of time on your hands to be on this forum? Do you have a job? Are you a shut-in?

Okay, but you are aware your statement was ridiculous, right? None of his parts were really believable? Have you seen ALL of his movies such that you're qualified to even make a statement like that? Have you seen The Philadelphia Story, Bringing Up Baby, Destination Tokyo, Notorious, Charade or His Girl Friday? These are all timeless classics. You cannot possibly think that these movies were all crappy and he wasn't believable.

Yeah, but his films don't have much depth. And Hitchcock made lots of color films.

They all basically suck. I've seen probably 30 of his movies. My grandmom used to make me watch them. And I'd be asleep 6 minutes in, 16 minutes tops. If I want to fall asleep, I'd just have to put Philadelphia Story on and I'd be out in 10 minutes, even if the ground was opening up right outside and swallowing all the life from the Earth.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Armageddon, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Island, Transformers, have you seen these movies? The depth is incredible and multi-layered. He is truly the genius of our, and probably of all,time.

How can you leave out that Verizon FIOS commercial? I was nearly moved to tears the first time I saw it.

Michael Bay doesn't need to be in every single one of his films to satisfy his own ego. The poon tang is enough

Okay so you saw them as a kid. That explains everything. I'm sure you had a well developed appreciation for the art of film as a kid.

Hitchcock was only in about half of his films. And from what I've read, he only had sex once in his life. He was a complete weirdo.
