An unexpected holiday gift. Thank you guys. This is a great movie.

Marko T.

Great movie. Suggestion: Batman Forever (1995).

I suggest Hitchcock's 'Vertigo' someday too. That would be a great experience. "Here I was born, and here I died. It was only a moment for you; you took no notice."

JakeyShakeyBakeyBoy

Yup, this changed movies as everyone knows while being at the tail end of the Hays Code especially; that said, Psycho II is actually worth checking out too, though I may be biased because a fellow Aussie (Richard Franklin) directed it whose filmography is outstanding in its own right. But Anthony Perkins is fantastic in it anyways and was truly a great actor. Also definitely consider “Rear Window” which is amazing and a personal fave. Love Mr Hermann’s score too

Jeff I.

Yeah, it's a shame y'all couldn't go into this blind to the main plot points due to cultural osmosis and how much this movie is referenced in modern media. Takes some impact/fun out of the reaction, but I'm glad y'all got to see this classic that inspired a lot of modern horror and was amazing for its time. The acting from Anthony Perkins (Norman) is really good for an early horror movie! Excellent dialogue/script for its time as well, never mind all the creative cinematography you'd expect from a Hitchcock film.

Rayna & Mike Sitter

That house is still standing on the back lot of Universal Studios in Hollywood. Hotel just below it just as the day they filmed. It's on the tour. It's spooky in broad daylight.

Mike FromOz

If you're into checking out older horror/thriller movies, I can really recommend "Night of the Hunter". It's a really fantastic movie which is so atmospheric.

Sergio Meira

I guess the point with certain guidelines -- like "bad guys cannot win" or "no horror as the main goal" -- came from the idea that movies were supposed to uplift and had a mission: to give good messages that people could live by, to offer hope in a world that was still full of despair (after WWII)... and America was always a little preachy with these things.

Sergio Meira

The way the movie develops, especially after the main heroine dies, is probably not what you were expecting... but remember that (a) they didn't have lots of previous horror movies to create a feeling of genre and a beaten path to follow, and (b) these were the days when Americans were fascinated with Dr. Freud and Freudian explanations for everything... even normal-looking young people were convinced that others were full of dark, sex-fueled thoughts and motivations... Notice also how careful the movie is to show you all the details of Norman cleaning the crime scene and disposing of the body -- all the practical things that modern horror movies maybe think are too boring when compared to Actual Gore. But just this fact makes this movie so real, and in this way so much more terrifying than movies that didn't show how much had to be done after the actual killing... Also, Norman makes a bunch of mistakes. I suppose this shows the movie is from the time before serial killers became tactical geniuses...

Simon Pegged Me

Since you're considering Nosferatu, I'll recommend Shadow of the Vampire (2000) again. It's a fictional making-of movie about Nosferatu. I think you'll like it. I can see why this would be the first modern horror movie, because it does prey on modern fears and anxieties, but horror in American film goes back to the early days. Back then, though, you got Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolfman, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, The Creature from the Black Lagoon and so on. Later, you got those Edgar Alan Poe movies, like the Tell-Tale Heart and sensational movies, like the Tingler. Those classic films play as campy now, but back then, they were actually terrifying. Psycho was on television a lot when I was growing up, like every other Saturday on the horror movie time slots (early morning and mid-afternoon), but I never saw it until I was a high school junior. Prior to that, I'd turn it off, because I found the story boring. The summer of my junior year, it played at the art house theatre in town and my friends and I went to see it on the big screen. I was riveted, and it scared the shit out of me (especially when Mrs. Bates killed the private detective. I did not see that coming.) I loved it.

Ricardo Alanis

I actually watched the Gus Van Sant remake with Vince Vaughn, Viggo Mortensen, Anne Henche, and Julianne Moore before seeing the original. It’s basically a shot for shot remake. Hitchcock-wise I also recommend The Birds.

Andrew

$40,000 in 1960 is equivalent to $430,000 today.

Josip Buretić

Please watch "Bates Motel" 🙏🏻😁

Charles

Gein became famous just a couple years before the novel Psycho was published, in 1957, not in the 20s or 30s. Bloch added a reference to Gein in the book but claimed most of the novel was completed before hearing about him; I believe it because Bloch had been writing about serial killers for years and years previously (mostly Jack the Ripper, I think)

Jeffrey Conway

The actress that steals the money and is killed in the shower is Janet Leigh who is the mother of Jamie Leigh Curtis.

Brad Lowry

Simone and George, you should remember Detective Arbogast tracking Janet Leigh's character's disappearance: that is Martin Balsam who three years earlier played Juror 1 (the Jury Foreman) in "12 Angry Men"! Almost every cast member in "12 Angry Men" had careers worth tracking... it could even be a Movie Poll of its own.

Grandalf

Anthony Perkins' son Oz Perkins happens to be the writer / director of LONGLEGS. I would love to see you two's reactions to it. I thought it was great, and a perfect vehicle for Nick Cage's,... err, antics, I guess? :) Sometimes he really loses me and takes me out of the story, but as Longlegs, he's phenomenal.

Justin James

So glad you finally got around to Hitchcock! :) His films are always so engaging to me, and keep me on the edge of my seat, even if I've seen the movie many times before. His pacing and use of suspense is very modern, while his shots and framing are very inventive and captivating. I really hope you guys get around to more Hitchcock! My personal front-runner would be "Rear Window", but I also think a particularly interesting one to watch is "Rope".

REDR58

I first saw Anthony Hopkins in the 1979 Disney movie, “The Black Hole” which is an interesting/slightly bonkers sci-fi movie and the first Disney movie to be rated PG, and the most expensive Disney film ever released to that point. Check it out.

Opti_Frog

Psycho is my second favorite Hitchcock film, after The Birds. I'm not sure i would say that Psycho was the first modern horror movie, mostly because i think it's much more of a mystery/thriller. When i think of the first modern horror movies i think of Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. But there is no doubt that Psycho had a huge influence on horror movies, and culture in general. It's a fantastic movie. If i remember correctly, Psycho was the first film where the murderer's motive was simply insanity, instead of money, revenge or jealousy. That's the "modern" part. It still has one foot in the spooky castles of old horror movies with that house behind the motel. The house, btw, was constructed for the film on the Universal lot. Psycho II, made more than 20 years after the the first, is actually much better than you would suspect.

Lana Gorgeous

Jamie Lee Curtis is the daughter of Janey Leigh and her husband and Jamie Lee Curtis is very famous actor of the 50. 60, and 70's Tony Curtis who was considered a heartthrob back in his prime acting days. So Jamie Lee Curtis came from acting royalty. I am not sure if you saw the original Halloween. That was Jamie Lee Curtis first full length film. Another great scary Hitchcock film to see is The Birds.

Brad Lowry
>>156680279

Jamie Leigh Curtis is also the daughter of Tony Curtis. I do find it curious that in IMDB Jamie Leigh Curtis is listed as Jamie Lee Curtis... perhaps it was more of a 'wink' than the full on equivalent of a modern 'hyphenated name'. Although my middle name is my mom's maiden name as was the more prominent JFK having the middle name of his mother's maiden name, Rose Fitzgerald (eew! that phrase looks and sounds awful, "maiden name" is there a more modern and empowering way of saying the same thing?)

Simone's Coconut Squire

"Horror" goes to the earliest days of film, but back then it was stuff like Nosferatu, Dracula, Frankenstein, etc. It's just the standard for "horror" that's changed. The original Nosferatu was very difficult to watch for me as the only full version I could find was silent. Yes it was a silent film, but the only complete versions I could find was a direct press of the ORIGINAL film which didn't have any sound, even music, because that was supposed to be played live along with the film.

Simone's Coconut Squire

I'm FASCINATED that Willem Dafoe is going to be in a remake of Nosferatu, because he starred in Shadow of the Vampire, which was a fictional retelling of the making of Nosferatu, but in that one Dafoe played Max Schreck.

Brad Lowry
>>156664209

Hear-Hear! Indeed, I for one would much rather that S&G add reactions for ground-breaking great films they've both watched (like "Rosemary's Baby", but not knowing whether either of them have watched it) than almost any movie with "II", "III" or "IV" (other than God Father, of course) that they have never seen. I applaud them for watching this film so as to "round out" their cinephile bonafides... the list can be long and important. Although I am also one that thoroughly enjoys the squealing joy of reliving as if the first time as you two watch, say, "Back to the Future", this too was very satisfying in a very different way. YaY!

Brad Lowry

How about another Anthony Perkins film? My vote would be for "Pretty Poison"!

Brandon

Ironically, if Marion wasn't so sloppy before getting to the Bates Motel, they probably never would have found out what happened to her. This is indeed the first American movie that I know of to even show a toilet, not to mention showing one actually flushing. The only real flaw with this movie is when the psychiatrist drills the explanation of Norman Bates' psychosis into our heads with no subtlety, and it just goes on and on. At the time there weren't any other movies like this so they wanted to make sure the audience wasn't lost. If the movie were being made today (and let's not even get into the 90's shot-for-shot remake lol) they would probably tell it through a flashback or make the explanation a lot more minimal in dialogue.

Franz Targ

Fun fact about Nosferatu (the original one): in 2015, the director's grave was robbed and his embalmed head was stolen.

Simone's Coconut Squire

Not just a toilet flushing, but seeing a toilet at all on camera was considered crass and generally wasn't done.

its crazy to me when old people complain about censorship when thats the world they grew up in. hell they probably protested monty python when it first came out.

Grandalf

Hitchcock is a genius. My rec for the next one would be Rear Window.

Tony E Crumpton

As a lifelong horror fanatic, having seen everything from Edison’s Frankenstein from 1910 through German Expression horrors, Universal Horrors, the 40’s B-row films, early Italian horrors, the so-called birth of modern horror (Psycho, Peeping Tom, Night of the Living Dead), through the 70s–2000s horrors, French Extremism, Torture Porn, A SERBIAN FILM (if you know you know), up to today’s mod-horrors, including films I’ve written that are available on Amazon Prime (this isn’t a plug), it hurts to listen to Simone and George fumble through the history of horror films.

REDR58

Regarding the “Motion Picture Production Code” (commonly called the “Hays Code”) which lasted from 1930-1968: “The major principles governing the code from 1930 onward: No picture shall be produced which will lower the moral standards of those who see it. Hence the sympathy of the audience shall never be thrown to the side of crime, wrong-doing, evil or sin. Correct standards of life, subject only to the requirements of drama and entertainment, shall be presented.

Ginger

You guys should watch "Hitchcock" with Anthony Hopkins as Hitchcock. It's about the making of "Psycho".

Clueless Morgan

Now do Rear Window and North by Northwest… for starters ;)

REDR58
>>156693041

Assuming we are not going to count any lost films, it seems that the first American movie to show a toilet on screen is “The Crowd” from 1928. The first time a flushing toilet is *heard* (if not directly seen) is from “Going Wild” (1930): https://www.reddit.com/r/MovieDetails/s/LQc22kvhnS “The Crowd” toilet can be seen at 35:36: https://youtu.be/AlIvTECHAHg?si=j6JHz9-WZg6HAR7J “Going Wild” clip: https://youtu.be/UXbjMa6oFSQ?si=mH7T6Omuy7y16woJ

Brandon
>>156693041

So it seems Psycho being the first movie to show a toilet is just one of those false facts about Hollywood trivia. Kind of like how 'The Jazz Singer' isn't really the first movie with sound, but the first movie to fully have sound. A distinction people always seem to omit.

Brandon

I did a little bit of digging on the novel, since I knew nothing about it. In the novel, a mutual attraction and romance begins to grow between Lila and Sam while they're searching for Marion. They end up cutting that from the film so Sam wouldn't seem "cheap". There's an Italian movie called 'L'avventura', that also came out in 1960. I bring it up, because the plot involves the very thing that was cut from Psycho. There's a missing girl, and the bulk of the story involves her boyfriend and best friend searching for her, as a romance starts to develop between them. It's a great film - and a LOT of people find it very frustrating for reasons I won't go into. 😆 George mentioned 'Diabolique' at the end and that's another brilliant film where you should know as little as possible going into it. Marion's co-worker at the start of the film is Hitchcock's daughter. She has an AWESOME supporting role in 'Strangers on a Train' - one of Hitchcock's best IMO. She's one of those characters that gets most of the funniest and witty lines and becomes an audience favourite. Edit: I need to stop commenting WHILE watching the movie because I end up having so many more thoughts by the time the movie ends. I just wanted to say that this reaction is living proof that knowing what happens in a movie because of pop culture references does NOT ruin a movie. Spoilers usually lack context and emotional weight. Spoilers are nothing more than plot mechanics. Psycho 2 is actually a pretty good sequel, but I haven't seen it in years. I remember nothing about Psycho 3, other than thinking it sucked - and I think they drain the swamp/lake where Norman hid all the bodies for some reason. Lastly, George: Old movies all ended abruptly and then a series of trailers would play. In other words, the previews trailed the feature film and the name stuck even after movies started having credits at the end.

Tony E Crumpton

ONCE AROUND THE BLOCH, the autobiography by Robert Block, the author of the book PSYCHO, goes into how Hitchcock used a third party to buy the rights to the book anonymously for about $9,000. Hitch did this because Block’s agent would have milked him for at least three times that amount if they knew he was buying it. However, there weren’t too many hard feelings since the movie made Block a larger name. He even wrote several scripts for Hitch’s TV show, ALFRED HITCHOCK PRESENTS, and many other Hollywood projects. Block also went on to write two book sequels to his novel, which diverge sharply from the PSYCHO movie franchise. Book two goes meta and is about Norman escaping the hospital, and a movie getting made about the original murders and a slew of new murders that take place around its filming, which is a lot like the plot of SCREAM 3. It has a pretty good twist in the tail, too.

Ian Cano

In the outtro, my guess is George meant to say iconic not epic.

George: You're wrong but you're also right. In the new Nosferatu, Bill Skarsgard is in fact Nosferatu. However, in the year 2000, a great movie called Shadow of the Vampire came out. I think it's best you know as little as possible going into it, but in a general sense it is a fictionalized making of the original Nosferatu from 1922, and in this making, Willem Dafoe plays the actor playing that character. It's a very tiny cult film, so it would never win a poll, but it would be really fantastic if, after you guys hypothetically watch the 1922 Nosferatu on the channel, you also watch Shadow of the Vampire. I think you'd love how strange and unique and even funny it is. Maybe even attach it to Nosferatu like you put the two Road Houses in one video, as neither Nosferatu (1922) or Shadow of the Vampire (2000) would be a hit on YouTube but I bet many audiences interested in one would be interested in both, and then it's only one video that could be a low-rated one. (Presumably, you could also upload this video in advance of a reaction to the new 2024 Nosferatu.)

Tyler Foster
>>156725050

Also, the new Nosferatu is directed by Robert Eggers. You tackled The Northman for the channel, but it doesn't look like you've done his other two great films, The Witch and The Lighthouse.

schnoobs

speaking of nosferatu remake.... The Lighthouse pls

Thirty Year Old Mulberry Field
>>156725050

Unfortunately it might be awhile before they get to Eggers’ earlier movies. I think they’re both A24 productions. But fingers crossed that they can watch all things Nosferatu related with the new movie coming up!

Thirty Year Old Mulberry Field
>>156698169

I was a fledgling cinephile around the time that movie came out and at the time I considered Hopkins my favorite actor and Hitchcock my favorite director. So it was quite a treat to see that flick.

REDR58

I seriously doubt the average movie goer even in the 1960s was all that put off by the sneaking around and what not in movies like this. Lots of people were having divorces and secret affairs. Despite all the hue and cry of morals in movies and TV I suspect most people didn’t care about that sort of thing.

schnoobs

More Alfred Hitchcock please!!

Kevin Townsend

Ed Gein was arrested in 1957 just a few years before this movie was released. He not only inspired this and Texas Chainsaw, but was also the inspiration for Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs.

RabidMango

Imma throw it out there. If you have strong feelings about family. About your brothers. Your father. If there was turmoil. If you thought Rocky was a pretty good movie. Check out Warrior. Not Warriors. Warrior. Arguably Tom Hardy's best performance, or at least his best traps and muscles. Nick Nolte's best performance, nominated. Try warrior. It's the best Rocky since Rocky.

REDR58

First time watch for me, though I was aware of the ending. Great reaction by the both of you. License plates numbers can be real or fake. Some license plates seen on cars in the MCU for example are references to comic book issues: https://www.mensxp.com/amp/entertainment/hollywood/78976-spiderman-far-from-home-easter-eggs.html If you look the Internet Movie Cars Database (www.imcdb.org) you can see cars used in different movies. Doing a cursory look at some of the cars seen in Psycho, Marion Crane’s car (ANL-709), or just the plate, was possibly owned by a film crew member. This is the one she is initially driving, a 1956 Ford Mainline, https://www.imcdb.org/v019596.html One of the other cars appears to have been owned by Hitchcock and appeared in at least one of his other movies: https://www.imcdb.org/vehicle_125678-Cadillac-Fleetwood-75-1955.html You can buy and use your own payphone: https://youtu.be/MzmgskQtXXI?si=QfBB39i80sH9OvR3 Candy corn is usually those little elongated/rounded pyramid-shaped candies that have 3 layers: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candy_corn#/media/File%3ACandy-Corn.jpg There have been a few Psycho references on The Simpsons: https://youtu.be/3d2jtlypuBY?si=mUhR8QAW9liu2GrS https://youtu.be/xSbjoTKfBZs?si=zrg-QwAuUfmMDfpC

Mr. Writhms

"Psycho II" was a surprisingly good sequel, being released 23 years later (1983). Please check it out!

djKENTO

Check out Werner Herzog’s Nosferatu: The Vampyre. IT’s a tremendous film that inspired so many films, especially The Crow. Everything from The Crow and Dark City is pretty much ripped directly from Herzog’s version. Also you can do a reaction to the original 1922 film and leave the whole movie in because it’s in the public domain

Mitchell Bowker

Willem Dafoe already played Nosferatu in a film called SHADOW OF THE VAMPIRE which is a fictionalized account of the making of NOSFERATU in which they cast a real Vampire to play Nosferatu.

djKENTO

So the actor who played Norman Bates is Anthony Perkins, his son is Osgood Perkins who was the nerdy guy in Legally Blonde and he’s become quite a director himself with this past year’s Longlegs.

Jesse Ewiak

Other people mentioned the Hays Code, but an important thing, is much like current MPAA ratings, video game ratings, TV ratings, etc. were self-imposed by the industry to avoid government-backed rules.

Mitchell Bowker

"Mother, that sailor suit doesn't fit anymore!"

Jacob King

It’s hard to imagine anyone not being spoiled on Psycho because it’s so ubiquitous. George will have to do a Simpson’s rewatch to get all the Agnes Smithers/Mrs Bates references. The opening credits are the work of Saul Bass, the guy who made opening credits cool and this was the first movie to have an enforced start time. The idea that Psycho is the first modern horror is hyperbole or marketing. Tonnes of horror films were made in the 50s many of which used psychological motivations and didn’t have supernatural elements. Night of the Hunter (1955) is still scary and The Bad Seed (1956), about a murderous child, is basically remade multiple times every year. The original Nosferatu is an adaptation of Dracula “subtly” changed to avoid copyright infringement. The reason you’d rush out a Dracula movie is because there was a massive worldwide market for horror films already in the 20s. Strong recommendation for Bad Times at the El Royale for another motel themed thriller inspired by Psycho. The lead is played by Cynthia Erivo from Wicked.

The Psycho sequels are a trip. Worth a watch, but don't expect the same quality or experience.

sol stapleton

To answer George's question, in the early 1930s there was the introduction of the Hayes code which was a list of things that you couldn't put in a film. They included things like interracial couples, drug use and sex. But before the Hayes code you had horror films like frankenstein and dracula.

Odd Thomas

Another good Vera Miles movie: The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

What Lies Beneath does for baths what Psycho did for showers.

Gary Fixler

"That [bath]room must've smelled so good!" (like chocolate) Now you know how vampires feel.

Brendan Rafferty

ALIEN used a similar deflection device to throw the audience off. Sigourney Weaver was an unknown when AlLIEN came out. Tom Skerrit, the actor who played Dallas, the captain, was well known. The first half of the movie follows his character primarily. Killing his character, the main character, halfway through the film, and then focusing on Sigourney Weaver, completely blindsided the audience when the film first came out.

Brendan Rafferty

The plot of Nosferatu is basically the plot of Dracula. The film makers couldn’t get (or afford) the rights to make a film of the novel Dracula, so they just made their own story with an almost identical plot

Brendan Rafferty

If you do watch Nosferatu… you must watch the 2001 film Shadow of the Vampire, a fictional take on the making of Nosferatu, starring Willem Dafoe and John Malcovich, wherein the director hires a real vampire to be the lead in Nosferatu and the cast and crew believe he is a method actor

China Andronicus

The novel is honestly fantastic. It gives wonderful hints at Norman switching back and forth without being obvious to anyone who doesn’t know the story.

Tyler Foster
>>156806922

Just my two cents: I wouldn't necessarily explain what the movie is fully about if they don't know. I recommended the same movie but I didn't explain it. Could be a fun thing to see them discover for themselves.

Michael Kemmet

Psycho was not based on Ed Gein as much as it appears at first glance. Robert Bloch lived only about 35 miles away from Gein, but he wrote Psycho(1957-59) just after Gein's crimes were first discovered and he was arrested(1957), but well before all the details were publicly known. In those early days, newspapers were not allowed to publish most of the lurid details of the case, so Bloch was only aware of the very basics. The multiple murders and graverobbing were published, but not any of the other stuff(including the mother aspect). Knowing only the bare bones of the events, Bloch approached it as "the notion that the man next door may be a monster unsuspected even in the gossip-ridden microcosm of small-town life". The rest was coincidence. It was only years later(once the full facts of the Gein case had become public knowledge) that Bloch discovered how well his fictional monster paralleled the real one. On the flip side, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre came out almost twenty years after Gein's arrest, so those writers had full knowledge of his crimes and motivations.

Tony E Crumpton

I'm sure this has been mentioned by much smarter folks than me, either on the Star Trek episode or here, but the Trek episode from last week, Wolf in the Fold, was written by Robert Bloch, who also wrote the book Psycho.

Jesse Coombs

"Have you ever used a payphone? I've never even seen one." Thanks for making me feel old, guys, lol.

I'm sure someone else mentioned it, but yeah, keep watching Hitchcock movies. The best ones are "Vertigo", "North by Northwest", "Rear Window", "Strangers on a Train", "Rope", and many many more. I love "Psycho", and I think these are even better.

Wayne Kryka

Hitchcock’s daughter was the other office girl. Hitchcock wanted to film a scene of one of his films at Disneyland, but Walt wouldn’t let him because he “made that disgusting film”

Philipp Roensch

I have yet to buy it, but excited for this one, it has been ages since I saw that^^.

China Andronicus

For me, this is Hitchcock's masterpiece. My parents raised me on them, probably at way too young an age, but they're all such amazing films. This will forever be the Oscar snub I'm most bitter about, that Anthony Perkins didn't get any recognition for his performance as Norman. Other great Hitchcock films are Rear Window, To Catch a Thief, Strangers on a Train, North by Northwest, the Birds, Dial M For Murder, Spellbound, and Rope.

Thirty Year Old Mulberry Field

Psycho’s ubiquity and precursory status to modern horror sometimes blunts its impact on modern audiences but I’m glad y’all were entertained and see the appeal in it. I hope it won’t be too long for the next entry into the wonderfully macabre world of Alfred Hitchcock. You pretty much can’t go wrong with his 50s output, it has his most celebrated/iconic work. But given you two are such jolly duo I’d like to see how you’d react to “The Trouble With Harry”, the only true comedy in Hitchcock’s vast filmography and a personal favorite watch for a cozy viewing during the autumn season.

Oddly, you talk about what was legal at the times. I acquired the scandalous uncut version, with 1 whole minute more lingering shots of the peeping and blood. Psycho, also my first watch, apart from making-off trivia. I was surprised to see the female victim also painted as braking the law, I can't put my finger on why. That the PI is shown as quite competent is fitting for the time, but the cops not being involved quickly is definitely done for tension. I really like the subtle acting, and you can spot the anxiousness and lying. Twist spoiled or not, I think this ending has impact still, Norman as a villain with. I would say even without attacking split personality as the problem, but the lack of care Norman tries to replace. Well done rear projection for the driving scenes^^. As you were looking at the new Nosferatu cast, have you seen who it is from? Robert Eggers really loves is fantastic realism, if you haven't, you should totally see The Witch and The Lighthouse. The Northman you have already seen, but I would say those previous ones are even better. The best prep for Nosferatu would be, Original, Bram Stoker's Dracula and Last Voyage of the Demeter I figure the new one will be a blend of everything from the myth. I guess that is a long post and suggestions list, I hope not too much :D.
