Vertigo: The Making of a Hitchcock Classic | Dan Auiler

#haikuaday
#haikuhive

Had a major vertigo episode this morning, which prompted me to think of this movie.

Dizziness grips him––
fear and longing twist his heart ...
past the ledge, she falls.

JenlovesJT47 Such a great freaking movie!! Love Jimmy Stewart. Hope you‘re feeling better! ♥️♥️♥️ 4mo

lil1inblue Ooooh! 🤩 This is excellent! Love the mood it evokes. P.S. Hope the vertigo episode has cleared. Those are no fun! 4mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 TY! I'm almost normal again. 🥴😅😊 4mo

dabbe @lil1inblue No, they aren't. Reminds me of a college bender ... or two. TY! 🥴😅😊 4mo

TheBookHippie Blech I hate those. 🫣😵‍💫 4mo

Mollyanna Oh no! Hope you are feeling better. Great movie 🎥 Kim Novak was phenomenal in it. 4mo

Butterfinger On one hand, I hate that you had a spell. On the other hand, shout-out to Jimmy Stewart. Funny story @JenlovesJT47 I couldn't think of a password this morning, got really frustrated, and someone yelled out, "It has to deal with Jimmy Stewart." Even Butterfinger, my username. His favorite candy bar. 4mo

JenlovesJT47 @Butterfinger oh that‘s awesome!! I‘ve been a huge Old Hollywood fan since I was 18 and he‘s always been one of my favorites. It‘s A Wonderful Life is my favorite Christmas movie by far. I haven‘t actually watched Vertigo in years but Denise has inspired me! Have you read his book of poetry? It‘s so sweet and so Jimmy lol.

Jimmy Stewart and His Poems

CBee We all know you just had too many beverages for your birthday yesterday, Denise 😂😂😂 @dabbe (all joking aside, vertigo can kiss my grits) 4mo

Susanita I hope you‘re feeling better. 4mo

Mimi28 Happy belated birthday!! I hope you feel better soon!! I will be sending you something in a week or so I promise. If you want to write me first that would be awesome 😎 without the list I have to find all my letters. Please don‘t be mad or upset with me 🥲 4mo

Butterfinger Oh yes. It was a Christmas present one year. @JenlovesJT47 4mo

JenlovesJT47 @Butterfinger of course! Sounds like my slight obsession with William Holden and Cary Grant 😍🤓😬 4mo

Amiable Ugh! I feel your pain. Literally. I‘ve had vertigo episodes so severe I ended up in the ER. I will go to great lengths to avoid triggering an episode. Hope you are on solid ground ASAP! 4mo

AnnCrystal 🙏🏼🐝 Hope you're all better now 🙏🏼💝. 4mo

MemoirsForMe Great haiku and movie! Hope you‘re feeling better ❤️ 4mo

dabbe @Mimi28 TY! I just emailed you the last list I had. 🩵💙🩵 4mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Vertigo or college benders? 😂 4mo

dabbe @Mollyanna TY; I am. She was phenomenal, wasn't she? 😍 4mo

dabbe @Butterfinger I had no idea that's why you had your handle! How cool is that? I adore Jimmy Stewart. And @JenlovesJT47, I saw him live on the Johnny Carson show reciting some of his poems from that very book! I must have been 7-8 years old! My favorite movie of his is ANOTHER THIN MAN; he was so good in that one! 😍 4mo

dabbe @CBee Who, me? 😌 Yeah, vertigo totally sucks. I'm doing better now, though. 😍 4mo

dabbe @Susanita TY; I am. 😍 4mo

dabbe @Amiable OMG, I can't imagine. I think we talked about this once before. It totally sucks. I just forget sometimes to move slowly. I whipped my head down to scruff it up with some hair goo, and boy, did I pay for that! I'm doing better now, though. 😍 4mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal TY; I'm doing better. 😍 4mo

dabbe @MemoirsForMe TY; I am. 😍 4mo

JenlovesJT47 Ooh yes I love the Thin Man movies! Nick & Nora are the best! And it was great seeing Jimmy go against type in that one. He‘s such an adorable yet sexy boy next door in his younger years. If you haven‘t seen it you have to watch The Shop Around The Corner around Christmastime. Such a great movie! ♥️ 4mo

Cuilin Oh vertigo sucks!! Both my parents and myself have it. Hope today is a better day. 4mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe vertigo… I loathe it. I didn‘t drink alcohol until my later grownup years. 4mo

julieclair I‘m amazed that, while suffering vertigo, you were still able to haiku about it. How??? Glad you‘re feeling more stable now. 💙 4mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 LOVE that one! Way better than YOU'VE GOT MAIL IMHO. That and IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE = #jimmyfortheholidays 🎄 4mo

dabbe @Cuilin TY; I am doing better today. Have to remind myself to move head slowly! 😍 4mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Boy, wish I could say the same. My college years were quite something. 🥴 4mo

dabbe @julieclair Oh, I wrote the haiku hours later, after the vertigo had settled down. 💙 4mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe helps to be poor & on your own & working three jobs and protesting & funerals 😭 I was at the clubs -I was just generally the driver 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️ let‘s be real I‘m stubborn and I‘ll be damned if anything controls me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 4mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie I could have used your resolve back then. 😂 I didn't have much $$ either. That's why we usually went to a place called Dirtbags (still in business) where you could get 50-cent kamikaze shots. Need I say more? 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 4mo

JenlovesJT47 Yes I agree!! IAWL is my favorite Christmas movie! You must track down the colorized version, it is so well done. ♥️ 4mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Will do! 💙 4mo

Mimi28 Thanks!! Glad you are feeling better 🩷I am sending you something Tuesday 😊🫶🏽🩷😎 4mo

dabbe @Mimi28 😘😍😘 4mo

The Birds | Daphne Du Maurier, Derek Strange

From another favorite movie of mine, The Birds.

The flapping of wings,
trapped like a bird in a cage;
predator now prey.

Jamaica Inn | Daphne Du Maurier

pick

I‘m glad we chose this for the first #HitchToScreen buddy read. This book has such a haunting atmosphere & I love her writing style. Mary is the main character but the moors themselves are a character & I love the gothic vibes. I‘m really looking forward to watching the movie. I‘ll be working on getting the reading schedule organized for the next year. I hope everyone is enjoying it so far! 5⭐️

nanuska_153 The moors feature so much in English literature, they are like the old version of quicksand, cause I don't know if they featured as much on people's lives as the stories made them think they would 12mo

Clare-Dragonfly I‘m enjoying it very much so far! Thanks for organizing this! 12mo

AnishaInkspill Last time I read this I found the plot more predictable then I thought I would. I had heard so much about this that I was expecting something more. Now I know what to expect it matters less and so I‘m enjoying it more this time. 12mo

JenlovesJT47 @nanuska_153 very true! @Clare-Dragonfly @AnishaInkspill I‘m glad you guys are enjoying it! 🤗 12mo
