Scorsese Films Hitchcock (Sorta...)!!
Ain't It Cool News - The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. — Merrick here... I'm usually not much for advertising advertising campaigns, but this one's pretty cool. It deals with two filmmakers of imminent interest to Geeks far and wide, so I thought it was worthy of note. If I understand correctly, this is part of an ad campaign for...wine...postulating how Martin Scorsese would direct a script fragment of an unmade Alfred Hitchcock film. Scorsese actually appears on-screen in a mini-docu(mocku?)mentary, and helmed the Hitchcock homage as well. To me, at least, this is made even niftier given that I spent the whole weekend binging on Hitchcock films via HD Movie channel's marathon (PSYCHO looks soooo damn ...

That’s because, whatever else may be true, with the possible exception of one exciting experiment in larger than life rock and roll and an art-house experiment with children’s attention spans, this weekend does not look to be anything for the history books. “*Generally speaking, “Leatherheads” is the kind of mainstream flick I root for.

Why I Will Burn My Entire Scorsese Movie Collection
LAZY EYE THEATRE — Watch the commercial and then read my commentary. I saw this commercial last week in New York at an advertising award show.
