It's pretty darn amazing the amount of work he's put into these - my only complaint would be for him to cut down on how much he incorporates himself into the movies - I tried to watch the Superman one and he's all over the place flying and smiling and involving himself into the original movie - the best directors can make both themselves and the camera invisible to the audience - Hitchcock

Not that it's going to keep me from watching his work.

Google's also good for the "MacNeil" house at 3600 Prospect Street Northwest in Georgetown, though at only about half its 1973 size...
