The fact that I am the first person to write anything on Hitchcock is just criminal. Born on 8/13/1899, he was widely regarded as one of the best directors ever lived. With a reputation for making horror, suspense,and thriller movies, he's sometimes referred to as the "Master of Suspense." He is famous for using attractive blond women in his movies and making cameo appearances in his own movies. Hitchcock's most famous movies include: Notorious, Psycho, North by Northwest, Vertigo, Rear Window, Strangers on a Train, 39 Steps, Rebecca, To Catch a Thief, The Birds, The Man Who Knew Too Much, and Dial 'M' for Murder. Upon his death on 4/29/1980, Alfred Hitchcock, among other legendary directors such as Robert Altman, Stanley Kubrick, Federico Fellini, Ingmar Bergman, Akira Kurosawa, and Martin Scorsese, never received an Oscar for Best Director.
Person 1: I watch a lot of movies. I am a movie person.
Person 2: Me too! And don't you just love Alfred Hitchcock?
Person 1: I've never really watched any Hitchcock.
Person 2: And you call yourself a movie person? How dare you?!

Like Hitchcock

Much like calling a moron "Einstein", "Like Hitchcock" is used towards a film, from average to poor quality, when comparing it to a film of even worse quality. Putting the two side by side, it makes the original choice appear of a far substantial standard.
After seeing "Fake Awful Movie", it's easy to say "Fake Mediocre Movie" feels like Hitchcock.

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
