I heard The Birds was a classic movie so I watched it one day. The only thing I remember is that the woman who is being chased by murderous crows runs into a bar and asks for a ride home to avoid being attacked. A guy downs his whiskey and then says "I'll drive you home, miss".

I've seen it more than once. I enjoy it. You do have to be prepared to accept the special effects levels at the time.

The problem with watching the movie for me now is that I know that the reason that Tippi Hedren gave such a believable performance in terms of being terrified is due to how Hitchcock terrified and assaulted her.

Hitchcock didn't make Birdemic

No, but he sure wishes he did.

It wouldn’t be a problem if immigrants stopped eating the cats first. Cats eat the magpies, immigrants eat the catmagpies. Be patient…everyone likes pies.

Just like turkducken, where a Turk eats a boneless duck and then you….well, have a traditional American turksgiving. I have seen it on TV true story.

I to will fuck you up for some good Pho. I'm on the birds side.

The magpies in my yard like to congregate and the juveniles like to play on our lawn chairs and have conversations between themselves

All corvids primarily use their intelligence to be assholes and find the exact limit of shit they can get away with. Jays might be the poster children for this, but the rest are deep down the same.

Maybe, but be nice to them, because they know who you are and they hold grudges.

Adopt them, give them all the food, then co-opt them into a magpie army!

Birdemic is for The Birds.


EDIT: Is there a B-Movie watch/discussion community here somewhere?

EDIT II - Electric Boogaloo: Found it [email protected]
