I've been ITCHING to revisit this one! Although I really think that it's almost more fun with the actors' commentary track. To realize what they were put through is either tragic or hilarious, or more likely, a beautiful combination of the two.deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-66690111455524555282012-10-19T19:58:26.475-04:002012-10-19T19:58:26.475-04:00Branan just gave me this link after I recommended ...Branan just gave me this link after I recommended he watch the film.

And I do love how the survivalist never once runs out of ammo. And also has toilet paper in the car for emergency number 2s.<br /><br />I might check out that Carolla interview.

Once the shit hits the fan, it's pretty awesome. I especially like that the survivalist guy, presumably out for a normal drive, has an endless supply of automatic weapons in the back of the van. "Oh, you need an already loaded ak-47 with a laser scope? I happen to have one right here!"<br /><br />Adam Carolla did a pretty funny interview with Nguyen on his podcast, where he constantly made fun of him under his breath and Nguyen was clueless the entire time. <br /><br />There is a little known Mexican movie called "Beaks the Movie", which was shot as a straight horror film like Birdemic, but promoted as an Airplane-esque spoof (incouding the title change), even though any humor was unintentional. That one is not nearly as entertaining though.Thomas Dukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804326045764733280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-8003917768949243742011-03-10T14:31:45.446-05:002011-03-10T14:31:45.446-05:00I highly recommend the actors' commentary. The...I highly recommend the actors' commentary. There's some great anecdotes about filming, including how the makeup artist quit and Nguyen told Whitney Moore to take over because "girls know how to do makeup." She seemed like a pretty good sport about it, with the other lead actor coming off like a deer in the headlights. Entertaining stuff.<br /><br />I'd worry about a sequel for the very reasons you cite. What's going to happen when experienced actors actually try to make the dialogue sound good or worse, really bad? I mean I'll still go SEE the next one, but I worry a part of my innocence might die with it...deadlydollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06061028044836745499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-10408621999234496452011-03-10T14:25:09.594-05:002011-03-10T14:25:09.594-05:00I'd love to hear the commentary from the actor...I'd love to hear the commentary from the actors- I've only ever heard from the director, who is obviously completely clueless about everything. <br /><br />Supposedly he's working on a sequel with a decent-sized budget, which will just be a train wreck. Obviously that's what the investors are hoping for, as Birdemic is a train wreck that works incredibly well on the midnight movie circuit- but it ONLY works I think, because of the "purity" you pointed out. You can't purposefully make a movie this completely inept and awful. Adding more money (and professionals) to the mix is going to ruin it.Stacie Ponderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784074536271206501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1003758772971289930.post-68731702323078678362011-03-10T09:38:21.288-05:002011-03-10T09:38:21.288-05:00I agree about Whitney Moore!

I think she genuinely has some promise, and based on the commentary, she seems to have a pretty good attitude as well. <br /><br />Sad you didn't enjoy it.
