'Rear Window' is out, 'North by Northwest' is in

[litlover12]

Two shows in four days (Person of Interest and Castle) have done North by Northwest shoutouts. Freaky. Do you suppose writers from all the different networks meet in some bar somewhere and toss ideas around?

They must. You should see the freaky coincidences between Sherlock and The Mentalist.

Yes.

Though I also just showed two clips from North by Northwest to my seventh-graders yesterday. I, however, am not at the hip tv writers' bars.

Also late to say proud of you for making your move re: choir. I'm sure it was a bit nerve-wracking; good for you. ♥

Most of what comes out of Hollywood is written by what amounts to a guild that is made up of very few people.

Your students are so lucky! :-) Any teacher who shows Hitchcock in class is automatically cool!

(And thanks. :-) )

They very well might! (Somebody ought to write a TV show about writing a TV show--oh, wait, it's already been done.)
