    Hitchcock Trailer Full of "Chubby Hmmm" Moments

    Film critic Mark Karmode coined the phrase, "Chubby Hmmm." A moment in a biopic where one of the defining moments of the subject's life is fictionalized as a means to explain said event, moment, phrase, etc. In this case, The Karen Carpenter Story where the late singer reads early reviews and the critic refers to her off-handedly as "Chubby" to a "Hmmm..." reaction.

    It's been debated if that actually happened in the 1989 made-for-TV film, but you get the idea. Watching the trailer for Hitchcock, the story of famed-director Alfred Hitchcock and his wife Alma Reville during the making of his defining film the classic Psycho, hard not to spot multiple "Chubby Hmmm" moments.

    All the press is about star Anthony Hopkins' eerie-resemble to Hitchcock. They got the look down pat. The voice, on the other hand, sounds like Hopkins doing Hitchcock and less Hitch.
