Run and works this week, with notes in between. Dialect coach in residence (poor woman) taking notes on how to keep the “terrible,” at least consistent.
It’s a lot like singing out of key, on purpose.
Also, the planting of more Easter Eggs.
…Like a DVD menu of olde, where they’d ghost special icons that you could find by accident, and unlock a neat little extra scene, outtake, or blooper…we’ve taken an already written homage of a show, and have been planting Easter Eggs all over it. It’s even breeding more Easter Eggs, on top of other Easter Eggs.
Our sources are coming from everywhere. They begin with Hitchcock, but certainly don’t end there. No. That would be too easy. And what about the people who come 5 and 6 times to see our awesomeness?! We must give them more toys to unlock and find with every new angle of viewpoint, and actor they watch at any given time. We are all bringing out new ones, all the time, either in accent, physics, intent, attack, music, prop, set and/or light. So if you plan on coming to the show, and want to get all you can get out of it, you need to start boning up on cinema (in total), like right now.
Current features include (but not exclusively):
* Mrs. Danvers from “Rebecca”
* All the women from Monty Python
* Lister from “Red Dwarf”
* Sydney Greenstreet & Peter Lorre mostly from “Casablanca”
* The long kiss, from “Notorious”
* Inspector Kemp from “Young Frankenstien”
* Lili von Schtupp from “Blazing Saddles”
* Ronald Coleman in anything
* Elise McKenna from “Somewhere in Time”
* “The Maltese Falcon”
* Every train scene in every Hitchcock
* Murderers and milk, from “Suspicion”

* The falling dummy body from “Vertigo”
And of course:
* Hitchcock’s own cameo
This is where we are starting. There are more, even more “insider” than the rest. They keep breeding, bit-to-bit. And the more I re-watch the Hitch flicks, the more I see what they already threw in there as winks to begin with. So many that they virtually fly by and are two steps past, before your brain even registers it. Which is good. Cuz if we stopped at every station for every “bit,” this show would be three days long, come with a scavenger list, and an open bar tab.
