North by Northwest is a 1959 American thriller film directed by Alfred Hitchcock, starring Cary Grant, Eva Marie Saint, and James Mason.[3] The screenplay was by Ernest Lehman, who wanted to write "the Hitchcock picture to end all Hitchcock pictures".[4] North by Northwest is a tale of mistaken identity, with an innocent man pursued across the United States by agents of a mysterious organization trying to prevent him from blocking their plan to smuggle out microfilm which contains government secrets. This is one of several Hitchcock films which feature a music score by Bernard Herrmann and an opening title sequence by graphic designer Saul Bass, and it is generally cited as the first to feature extended use of kinetic typography in its opening credits. This is the latest in my exploration of Clip Studio Paint Pro. Inked entirely with the 'Real G-Pen' tool and colors with the paint tools. #normanbates #hollywood #clipstudiopaint #memes #oldhollywood #horror #cinematography #oasis #digitalart #alfredhitchcock #love #clipstudiopaintpro #jamesmason #masterofsuspense #northbynorthwest #evemariesaint #suspense #guitar #carygrant #classichollywood #shawnvanbriesen (at Brentwood) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB9ARVIgc0q/?igshid=1qj8qhyuom3h0

Alfred Hitchcock - North By Northwest (1959) The middle film in what is probably one of the greatest streaks of classic films by any director, starting with Vertigo and ending with Psycho (I don't consider The Birds or The Wrong Man to be at quite the same level), in a career full of classics, this is definitely on the top 10 Hitchcocks, and probably in the top 5. Starring Cary Grant as a man who goes from mistaken identity kerfuffle to kerfuffle, it of course depends on the old comedy of error plot, but it is done with such aplomb that it's a thoroughly entertaining affair. Much of the merit goes not only to Hitchcock but also to Cary Grant, who is a joy to watch playing his best as a fish-out-of-water, unwittingly dragged into international espionage but without ever losing a sarcastic turn of phrase or having his amorous instincts dampened. Eve Marie Saint is also great here are the long-suffering romantic interest, by turns femme fatale and victim of international conspiracies. James Mason has comparatively little screen time, but he does chew that scenery grandly whenever he has the spotlight, gleefully playing the Bondesque villain. In fact this feels a lot like a James Bond film before those were a thing, but with a central character who even while he shares a lot of the elements of Bond personality-wise is not an agent, but just some random guy. The final shot of the film with it's sexual innuendo would not be out of place in a Bond film, for example, neither would the action scenes peppered throughout the film, from the crop-duster to the mount Rushmore standoff. Classic.

Howdy Folks. Happy Sunday

Here’s another stub for your perusal in my weekly nostalgic ticket themed blog #thatstheticket #mylifeibstubs

The Blue Note, Derby (or possibly Rock City Nottingham)

Lloyd Cole and the Commotions

1984

Price unknown

The location for this concert is uncertain. The ripped stub bears no venue name. I have the inkling that it was at a cool little venue in Derby where we’d occasionally check out up and coming bands, including memorably, on one occasion, New Order! But my old university mate Rhino, aka Scum, thinks it was at the sweaty, indie temple that is Rock City. Whichever, it was in prime Cloughie country.

The show was just after their debut album came out. To me, Rattlesnakes is one of the finest albums of the eighties. A lyrical delight. In 1984, it was rarely off my Garrard turntable. Ironically the lead single, Perfect Skin was ubiquitous at Nottingham student parties frequented by pimple-faced adolescents.

With an unfeasibly high and tousled barnet and a cherubic face, Lloyd Cole had a touch of the Elvis about him. Although, in retrospect, he was actually more Jimmy Carr than the King. He exemplified bohemia and was rarely seen without his black polo neck.

Evidently, he just left his English Literature and Philosophy course at Glasgow University with a goal of making it big. His star shone brightly, but all too briefly. He’s rarely heard of these days and is not the type of artist you”d expect you’ll see on an 80s revival tour package with Kajagoogoo or Dollar

His lyrics were evocative, hyper-literate and quite possibly totally pretentious. “Read Norman Mailer: or get a new tailor” But I loved this record; still do. Not many artists could get away with casually name-checking philosophers like Simone de Beauvoir or Joan Didion, but he did. He was a dab-hand at conjuring up grandiose images of mysteriously complex girls ‘with cheekbones like geometry and eyes like sin’ Unfortunately these unattainable creatures were in short supply in our world.

But nevertheless, because of our cultured upbringings, the high brow literary references chimed with me and Rhino. Existential philosophy was particularly in vogue on his council estate in Doncaster and of course, my nose was rarely out of a Mailer novel whilst having a cup of Rosie Lee with Chas & Dave down Edmonton Green. That, or I was seeking out a new tailor.

But we had aspirations, buying Granta fiction in order to nonchalantly leave books lying around the house in a woeful attempt to try and impress the girls. In reality, the most intellectual reading matter was the humorous postcards of Biff cartoon that were stuck on the bog door that we’d laugh at whilst having a poo.

Sadly I don’t recall too much of the gig (it was a while ago after all!) In keeping with his hairstyle, the wordsmith wore his guitar up high. He was a very accomplished player. Naturally many other arty type students were in attendance. Quite a few polo necks I suspect. We all seemed to know each and every lyric.

When he got to Rattlesnakes, we all sang along with his most quotable line:- “ She looks like Eve Marie Saint In On the Waterfront’. Personally, I could really relate this lyric. I actually once had drunken grapple with a girl who looked like an actor in On the Waterfront. Sadly, not sultry Eva Marie Saint. She resembled he co-star, Karl Malden 😉

It was a fantastic gig. We left the venue (whichever one it was) to return to our student house to watch a VHS of that evening’s Brookside, or for some other intellectual activity. An unread copy of the Glass Bead Game by Hermann Hesse gathered dust on the coffee table

Fancy a scotch egg?

“America is now obsessed by stars in an unhealthy way. They don’t actually deserve this kind of attention. They`re only actors – not scientists who are triumphing over cancer or doing some other wonderful thing.”
