Sometimes you watch a movie or read a book and you think to yourself, ‘wow, this protagonist really isn’t a protagonist’. Sure, the movie ends with him technically saving the day, but isn’t he the one who sent his girlfriend to literally break into someone’s house? Like think about this here for instance, right. If I push you into a river then save you from drowning, do I still get credit for saving you even though I was the one who pushed you? Okay, this metaphor got away from me a bit, what I’m saying is, if I broke my leg I could think of a million things I’d rather do than sit at my window and spy on people. Mostly because spying on people is weird as fuck. Now, this would normally be the part where I would proceed to list said ‘things’ I would rather do, but this piece has a word limit. So, you’ll have to just use your imagination. I’m not sure how to feel about Hitchcock, he’s objective very good, but he feels like one of those guys who you kind of have to think is good

because everyone else thinks he’s good so if you don’ t think he’s good you come across as contrarian and trying to be different. Guess it depends how much suspense you want with your pint of Stella. Also, ‘Disturbia’ is better than this. Take that, Sheldon Abend Trust.
