David lighting up at the mention of Jacques Tati’s name is contagious. A total one-off of a film genius…in fact, both of them.

[@GamesWithBrainz]

thats hilarious he pointed out the scene where they just wont stop tumbling their drinks lol

[@voyagersquaremuzika]

Ever since I watched Rear Window 20 years ago, I think that movie is so cozy, a great movie!!

[@myownprivateglasgow280]

Hotel de la Plage, St. Marc, Bretagne. I wonder if he's ever been there. Wonderful part of the world.

[@jeffwalker6815]

I also didn't like the end of Rear window but that's just because the Simpsons did it better and I was expecting a twist that never came. Still so good..

[@artofsam]

I agree I don’t hate it but the Simpsons actually got it right, the peeping-tom character Stewart plays shouldn’t had been the heroic figure at the end after being found to be right about his neighbour being a killer. It made more sense from a morality stand point that Stewart simply made false theories based on what he saw eavesdropping like Bart did. The film basically condoned the big-brother concept of being on the look out is caring rather than a disturbing infringement of privacy.

[@dalisman]

Hitchcock didn’t seem to end stuff well

[@BruceWayne-zj1kw]

That’s not the movies fault

[@Yetaxa]

@@dalisman The ending of Psycho almost ruins the entire film

[@Mr.Goodkat]

You can't cast THAT guy and not have him be a murderer.

[@eloyhbermudez]

cant wait for his next movie

[@diamondjoe100]

Soon hopefully 👍

[@denisefreitas6727]

Great movies indeed.

[@bevelor6239]

Great to see you round and about

[@beyondvger3682]

YES

[@petergivenbless900]

I guess the idea about swirling the ice in the tumblers might have been to sell the idea of being in a heatwave, trying to keep the drink cold.

[@beyondvger3682]

Or.....make you on edge.

[@CB-vg1wq]

I thought Hitch had the tumblers moving because he loved the visual of glass, ice, and a liquor swirling around. It is shiny and reflective, even festive. I enjoy when film does something just for the beautiful effect. Hitch and Lynch both do this often in film while they tell you a gripping story.

[@avilesbeach]

Thanks for the video.

[@filmosophers]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@beyondvger3682]

Was the drink a highball? A variety of spirits can be used.

[@fiercestcalmivebeenin9937]

Was it Brandy "Snifter? .. In "Rear Window" ..

[@fiercestcalmivebeenin9937]

Spielberg's "The Fablemans" 2022 .. Lynch's cameo: th-cam.com/video/l4BAY9ERJow/w-d-xo.html

[@fiercestcalmivebeenin9937]

He did a good John Ford, .. his secretary, etc. was Lynch though

[@tectorgorch8698]

Another World was awesome.

[@schzti2455]

Lynch hates the "hokey" ending of Rear Window while his films have arguably more cheesy endings done on purpose hah

[@mattiadei8402]

Some of his films have "cheesy" endings only for distract audience but I know what you mean. But The Elephant man, first 2 twin peaks seasons, Fire Walk With me, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive and The Return are not cheesy at all man!!! ❤

[@isaiahromero9861]

​​@@mattiadei8402 Agreed. You forgot Eraserhead though, that ending is insane. But OP has a point when you think about the ending of Wild At Heart lmao

[@bb1111116]

The happy ending of Blue Velvet is similar to some Hitchcock films; Strangers on a Train, North By Northwest.

[@mattiadei8402]

Please David, give us other films....
