content: The craziest part about birdemic is that the director of the film doesn't seem to understand that people like the movie because it is terrible. There is a VICE News interview where he makes many puzzling remarks and asks for millions in funding to make a sequel.

content: Quote from: timb on November 19, 2017, 02:18:17 amLOL, here ya go. Its 25 minutes, but highly recommended. Its pretty clear this guy is genuine and delusional...its almost sort of cute."After being rejected from the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, Vietnamese software salesman James Nguyen spent a week driving around the festival in a minivan covered fake blood and stuffed eagles guerilla promoting his low-budget 'romantic thriller' Birdemic: Shock and Terror.This stunt caught the attention of two festival-goers, including VICE host Evan Husney, who after experiencing the film were enthusiastically compelled to release it throughout the country. Birdemic opened to massive mainstream media attention and was celebrated by audiences for its groundbreaking imperfections, some touting it 'the worst movie ever made'.Years after the Birdemic phenomenon, Husney reunites with Nguyen who is still haunted by the film's reception and desperate to restart his career."

You know that feeling you get when you’re embarrassed for other people (douche chills would be the technical term), yeah, that documentary has a lot of that.You’re right though, there’s something just so sincere about that guy. It’s like he doesn’t realize the world is laughing *at* him and not *with* him!

content: I thought the second one was racist. Why make fun of the "foreign" doctor that is supposed to be good at everything? It seems like the joke was that the doctor would be more than happy to leave a birthing animal (why? It doesn't make much sense imo), which must have been thought as being reckless, and selfish, not at all his character from the first movie I think.

content: It reminds me of going out to see zillions of weird/cult movies when I lived in SF.There were so many fun, strange places to see movies back then. I think I saw that for the second time at a weird little place which is now an Indian restaurant on Lincoln Way in SF.Or the Roxy on 16th st. and York on 24h, two great small theaters.
