Curtis Wilcox writes: "I think the question I have is, "Is 'yanking our chains' a negative thing for you?" You mention Hitchcock so I suspect not but your use of the phrase and the lab technician thing sounds like you might be critical." No, chain yanking is not necessarily negative--almost all directors do it to one extent or another, some (like QT and Hitchcock) more overtly (and therefore more honestly, I think) than others. It's like being in a game of "Gothca!". --Don Larsson, Mankato State U., MN
