In this faux documentary, Martin Scorsese shoots a “lost Alfred Hitchcock script” in Hitch’s style. He does an amazingly accurate job, and I would love to see him try to do this for an entire film.
The script was actually written by Ted Griffin (screenwriter of “Ocean’s Eleven” and Matchstick Men”) and the music is from Bernard Herrmann’s beautiful score for “North by Northwest” - one of Hitchcock’s masterworks - which was written by Ernest Lehman and is currently on my iPhone. Bonus points for the homage to Saul Bass’ “North by Northwest” opening credit sequence at the beginning of the film within the film.
Amanda makes a big life decision:
I have ordered waffles my entire life at IHOP. Last Sunday, Kat and I were on our after-church date @ our favorite place (obviously IHOP, we are officially regulars there… the waitresses know us.) I changed up my order to the Smokehouse Combo… and it was the best decision I have ever made. It comes with 2 eggs, pancakes, hash browns and sausage (for which I substituted bacon). All of this for $6!! It was INCREDIBLE. And, I ate the entire thing in 5 minutes. And all of these years I have been paying $5.95 for a PLAIN waffle. At IHOP, you really do come hungry and leave happy.

(To my knowledge, she has never been on a date.)
