First the swan drowning, this businessman in Ipswich last Thursday (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYold6V9_0w),and now the penguins, these bird attacks happen every year in the two weeks leading up to the day Alfred Hitchcock died. 32 Years ago on the 29th of April.

Aw man-Voted for this before the story with no footage came! Just a gaggle of newsgrubs gammering.

Sort of....this was adapted from a short story by Roald Dahl. The version I first saw was a remake in 1985 for the "New Alfred Hitchcock Presents" that starred John Huston in the Lorre role and Melanie Griffith as the Girl. Tarentino's version refers to the classic Hitchcock episode as the inspiration for the bet...and as you know has a completely different ending then the story it was inspired by. >> ^ctrlaltbleach:

Same bit is used in Quentin Tarantino's Four Rooms.

This can't be real. I highly doubt Alfred Hitchcock and Cecil B DeMille had anything to do with this.

In fact, that footage looks too clean and sharp to be from the 50s. I say this has been recently made by someone and engineered (with filters, etc) to make it look old. It's well done, but definitely not real.

And Bob Dylan is so over the top (even for the 50s) it's laughable.

Fakey McFake to the extreme. This looks like it was shot on video/digitally and made to look like film. Plus, Alfred Hitchcock was pretty much never a credited writer on anything and certainly wouldn't put his name on something this terrible. Seriously, of all the people they could have picked to have supposedly written this, they pick Hitchcock? That gives it away as a fake pretty much immediately.

It's a vaguely credible forgery (whoever they got to do the narration goes a long way towards selling it), but it's definitely a forgery.

Alfred Hitchcock was ahead of his time...

If he says it's evil then by god you can bet your life it is.

that's not just "some guy." That's Alfred Hitchcock. The man who said that films should not be any longer than a bladder can hold: an hour and a half.
>> ^Raaagh:
Wow holy fuck. To think this is nearly 100 years old and I feel I can relate to this guy.
Thanks OP!!!



Hour and a half! He obviously couldn't have predicted theaters selling 64 oz cups of soda.

Alfred Hitchcock would disagree with you =)

Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds: The Musical.

Withered rope, you hang, what's empty, can't remain, to put it simply
in time cry the hollow words to sing with false disguise.

Smothered hope, fly from sorrow for a new divine tomorrow.

I just don't want to know anymore...
Life shifts up and down everybody knows it's wrong
Life shifts up and down everybody knows it's wrong
Life shifts up and down everybody knows it's wrong

Why don't you care?
Life, shifts, up, down, wrong...

It don't seem fair!
Life, shifts, up, down, wrong...

It's not in the rhyme or reason,
so it goes with every season, crawl to top, fall through bottom
first hand love is really rotten,
slice of life, find what's plenty, inch towards a sanctuary
light with me inside the womb.

I know everyone, everybody knows it's me,
it's my voice, my voice cries out obscenity!

Sightless eye regard my past sometimes it should.
I just don't want to know anymore...

i just don't want to know anymore
life shifts up and down everybody knows it's wrong
life shifts up and down everybody knows it's wrong
life shifts up and down, everybody knows - it's wrong

Why don't you care?
life, shifts, up, down, wrong...

Why don't you care?
Why don't you care?

Smothered Hope, Smothered Hope, Smothered Hope,
Smothered Hope, Smothered Hope, Smothered Hope,
