This movie was not filmed by Alfred Hitchcock. Why might I lead off with that? Well, the rest of the clues..... This movie included a scene that took place at an important spot- the exact same spot- as a scene in "Vertigo." And ANOTHER scene was a reenactment of a scene in "Vertigo" but not in the same spot-the exact set was a recreation but the alleged location was along the shore.) It also had a scene that appeared to be a frame-by-frame reenactment of a VERY famous Hitchcock scene (so famous I am not naming the scene.) We had an innocent man framed for a murder. The director appeared in the movie. The name "North By Northwest" appeared in the movie's dialogue. Alfred Hitchcock got to screen this movie before it was released. He seemed to like the movie- his only criticism was something insignificant. (Knowing Hitchcock and under the circumstances, that's the same as someone else saying it was a good movie.) One scene was a nod to another famous movie- a man sat on a park bench, while pigeons slowly congregated on something behind him... This was NOT an Alfred Hitchcock movie. Which movie was this?

Herman's Hermits? *wild swing* "Something Good"???

"STELLA!!!!! STELLA!!!!

Police Squad! In Color! Your turn.

Hey, they are all games and we all have lives.

"Now do you think you can beat The Champ?" "I can take him blindfolded." "What if he's not blindfolded?" "I can still beat him." "I'd just come from the stockyards. We'd gotten reports of hundreds of cows had been senselessly slaughtered in the area, but I couldn't find any evidence. I stopped off for a hamburger and checked in with headquarters." "Who are you and how did you get in here?" "I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith."

It is not. Good, I thought this one might have been too easy.

I was hoping someone from that time would explain. I'll explain a bit. It started before I started posting here. As I understand it, something happened. Raf meant to post about it (a twi news event, if memory serves.) He posted it with a normal title and a normal initial post. For reasons of internet, somehow the post got eaten, but not 100%. The first word of the title remained, and the first word of the post remained, along with the comma following it. The rest of the post was blank. Naturally, some of the posters had some fun with it, reacting as if it was intentional, and an artistic choice. But the jokes...just...kept...coming...... Months and years later, they were still coming. People wrote song lyrics for THE. People got titles for THE ("Official Shaver of THE", etc.) It was an inside joke that just never stopped. Years later, another thread was posted. The poster immediately reconsidered. They changed the title to "Oops" and the post to something like "Never mind, please delete." We had a few pages of similar jokes, IIRC. I speculated on whether "Oops" would someday rival "THE" and overtake it (my speculation was largely a joke.) That joke ended a LOT sooner. That's all I've got.

I honestly can't tell, sometimes, what impressions people get. I'm sure someone, somewhere, thought me and Raf were the same person. We have never been the same person, and we have no plans to change that at any time. ;) I've occasionally been mistaken for any notable twi personality, and that's always worth a chuckle. If I'd been a decade older and joined a decade sooner, probably, but I joined in time to participate in the biggest exodus. Knowing all of that, the idea of me secretly being oldies, knowing our history, almost made me laugh out loud. I know you didn't mean that (I know that NOW, at the very least), but it was a little like "In World War II, Stalin and Churchill were secretly the same person." NOW you can see why it was at least worth a smirk.

Technically, he WAS in the Bronx at the time, but he was not in twi at that time. I know because I was in twi before him, and I wasn't in twi at the time.
