‘Always make the audience suffer as much as possible’. Hitchcock was an information sadist.

The antidote to envy is one's own work. Always one's own work. Not the thinking about it. Not the assessing of it. But the doing of it… [T]he work itself. It drives the spooks away.
-Bonnie Friedman

This book is a fucking joy. https://t.co/3t797GQsYw
