I think this will be playing a midnight show at the Music Box sometime next month. Might be worth a look... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

Heard about this for a long time. It looked hilarious up until the birds appeared.
I'm not so sure about this one.

And since we are posting bad horror movie trailers lately, I will add this one.

The lead really likes to remove his shirt.

If you looked like him and had such a sinister family secret, wouldn't you?

Excellent point.

The Birdemic movie looks ridiculously funny and stupid at the same time.

It looks like The Room with Mario Paint CGI birds.

Yeah, I kinda wish they would have gone less CGI on the birds. The rest of it was hilarious for all the right reasons.

How did Hitchcock have better special effects 50 years prior to this?

awesome review in the Village Voice. My favorite parts:

You can tell there's no irony in this guy's daily life, so why would it be in this movie?"<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

You're sure these people aren't kidding?
Birdemic - rok - 04-14-2010
Wow.
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Nguyen cops to having one agenda. Introducing last Friday night's premiere with a coat hanger in his hand to ward off birds, Nguyen claimed his three biggest inspirations were The Birds, Apocalypse Now, and… An Inconvenient Truth. Throughout the film are oblique references to the climate crisis and the need to live green, with random appearances from a hippie who lives in a tree house perched high in the redwoods, an elderly ornithologist who condemns human behavior, and even a solar-powered accessories salesman.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

Watched this last night at the Music Box. It was hilariously awful -- as expected.
The writer/director was there, too. I was too gassed to stick around for the Q&A session afterward. It was sort of a grueling experience in a way...

I heard it's vying for the title of worst movie ever made and the kid in the lead had absolutely no training whatsoever in acting. The director funded the whole project out of pocket.
