Vertigo: The Making of a Hitchcock Classic | Dan Auiler

#haikuaday

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.

dabbe @lil1inblue No, they aren't. Reminds me of a college bender ... or two. TY! 🥴😅😊 2mo

TheBookHippie Blech I hate those. 🫣😵‍💫 2mo

Mollyanna Oh no! Hope you are feeling better. Great movie 🎥 Kim Novak was phenomenal in it. 2mo

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. 2mo

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.

CBee We all know you just had too many beverages for your birthday yesterday, Denise 😂😂😂 @dabbe (all joking aside, vertigo can kiss my grits) 2mo

Susanita I hope you‘re feeling better. 2mo

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 🥲 2mo

Butterfinger Oh yes. It was a Christmas present one year. @JenlovesJT47 2mo

JenlovesJT47 @Butterfinger of course! Sounds like my slight obsession with William Holden and Cary Grant 😍🤓😬 2mo

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! 2mo

AnnCrystal 🙏🏼🐝 Hope you're all better now 🙏🏼💝. 2mo

MemoirsForMe Great haiku and movie! Hope you‘re feeling better ❤️ 2mo

dabbe @Mimi28 TY! I just emailed you the last list I had. 🩵💙🩵 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Vertigo or college benders? 😂 2mo

dabbe @Mollyanna TY; I am. She was phenomenal, wasn't she? 😍 2mo

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! 😍 2mo

dabbe @CBee Who, me? 😌 Yeah, vertigo totally sucks. I'm doing better now, though. 😍 2mo

dabbe @Susanita TY; I am. 😍 2mo

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. 😍 2mo

dabbe @AnnCrystal TY; I'm doing better. 😍 2mo

dabbe @MemoirsForMe TY; I am. 😍 2mo

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! ♥️ 2mo

Cuilin Oh vertigo sucks!! Both my parents and myself have it. Hope today is a better day. 2mo

TheBookHippie @dabbe vertigo… I loathe it. I didn‘t drink alcohol until my later grownup years. 2mo

julieclair I‘m amazed that, while suffering vertigo, you were still able to haiku about it. How??? Glad you‘re feeling more stable now. 💙 2mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 LOVE that one! Way better than YOU'VE GOT MAIL IMHO. That and IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE = #jimmyfortheholidays 🎄 2mo

dabbe @Cuilin TY; I am doing better today. Have to remind myself to move head slowly! 😍 2mo

dabbe @TheBookHippie Boy, wish I could say the same. My college years were quite something. 🥴 2mo

dabbe @julieclair Oh, I wrote the haiku hours later, after the vertigo had settled down. 💙 2mo

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. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 2mo

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? 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 2mo

JenlovesJT47 Yes I agree!! IAWL is my favorite Christmas movie! You must track down the colorized version, it is so well done. ♥️ 2mo

dabbe @JenlovesJT47 Will do! 💙 2mo

Mimi28 Thanks!! Glad you are feeling better 🩷I am sending you something Tuesday 😊🫶🏽🩷😎 2mo

dabbe @Mimi28 😘😍😘 2mo

Sweet Tooth Book Two | Jeff Lemire

so-so

I didn‘t really like this as much as the first volume in this series, but it had a lot to offer in terms of suspense and a cliffhanger ending. My library has book three but not four, so a lot is riding on volume three in terms of whether I keep going with this series.

American Vampire Omnibus | Stephen King, Scott Snyder

pick

What starts out as a western vampire comic ends as a meditation on America, and it's a wild ride! It is rare that as story goes for 10 years and hits every beat; there were definitely some aspects that worked better than others. The ending wasn't a perfect 10, but it did the job. Stellar art, wonderful and consistent storytelling and world building.

vivastory Completely agree with your review. Skinner & Pearl are unforgettable characters. 1y

49/150 I haven't seen the TV series yet, so I thought I'd read the graphic novel first. Charles and Edwin are detectives, but also ghosts, which helps in their work as most people don't notice them. They get a case involving missing children, zombie corpses and an immortal madman. It's pretty obvious who the bad guy is, but it's still a fun story. 3 ⭐⭐⭐💫

Fables the Deluxe Edition Book Eight | Bill Willingham

pick

Okay, I LOVED that. While the Fables series continues to pull characters from fairy tales, this arc felt very much like a truly original story, and a wonderful journey for the previously overlooked protagonist. It wove seamlessly into the continuing story of the series but really took the time to tell its particular entry in a style that felt like vintage tales of knights and adventure. A new favourite in the series' collected editions.

Y: The Last Man Book Five | Brian K. Vaughan

This post contains spoilers

show me

so-so

Okay, from a 'congratulations, you produced an emotional impact!' perspective, I understand the choices made. Even from a statement about long-running toxic cycles of violence, which could be heavily attached to the patriarchy, I get the choices made. But between this and Saga, I am so very, VERY over Vaughan fridging the love interest to further the plot. Having consumed much of it, I'm now going on an extended break from his work.

Robotswithpersonality As a series, Y:The Last Man is a hell of an accomplishment, but I would be lying if I said a specific choice made in this last book didn't colour my impression of the series as a whole. 1y
