Birdemic: Shock And Terror

Finally watched this on Netflix. Didn't even make it to the title card without stopping, buying the RiffTrax, then starting over. 5 minutes later my drink was coming out of my nose I was laughing so hard.

Imagine you wanted to make a environmentalist movie, so you got a bunch of your friends to run around making speeches and driving from place to place in your county running from birds. Now imagine that cost a lot more than you planned, so you have no money left over for all of the bird attacks that comprise the last half of the movie so you use animated GIFs of birds to hover around the frame. Then imagine that as you're cutting together the movie, you notice that you should have listened to that one guy and used boom mics while recording, but its too late for that and everyone that was in the movie went back to working at the convenience store, so you just leave the audio completely inaudible and changing every shot. Finally, you only have $2 left to pay the composer, who writes a minute long piece which you loop through the movie.

Like I said on Twitter, this movie makes The Room look like Citizen Kane. Tommy may be a crazy person, but at least he knows the basic structure of shooting scenes and recording audio.

You have to watch it. Now.
