07.23.09 BEWARE THE BIRDPOCALYPSE!!!!
This is the trailer for the awesomely-named Birdemic, a direct-to-DVD thriller from director James Nguyen. It begins with more than a full minute of completely actionless landscape shots set to unmixed audio from the camera mic. Uh, dude? Those shouldn’t be in the movie, let alone the trailer. But just when you’re like, “Hey, where’s the birdpocalypse I was promised?” You hit the 1:08 mark and BOOM! THERE’S THE F*CKING BIRDPOCALYPSE! That is easily the best CGI I’ve ever seen. It reminds me of those tales I heard about Michael Bay as a child, when he discovered you can make seagulls explode by feeding them Alka-Seltzer. All you have to do is wrap the tablets in C4 and rig them with a remote detonator.

Everybody’s heard the wordemic.
I dig the divebombing sound effects.
Fuck. Yeah. Is it wrong that I’m more pumped for Birdmageddon than I am for G.I. Joe?
I call it a burdemic when the AC in the front office is set to low and all the hags in the cube farm start bitching.
All you really have to do to make a bird explode is swing the bat on time. It also helps if you take it out of the cage first.
+o -that whole comment
I dealt with a turdemic this morning.
Alfred Hitchcock is not amused. Nguyen’s joined Vince Vaughn on his ‘People to fuck with in hell’ list.
More like Crapocalypse, eh?
I said, EH?
Looks like Lou Diamond Philips is going to be getting that 2002 Ford Focus he’s had his eye on.
“Birdemic - Shock and Terror”
Was this badly translated from some obscure language?
penelope cruz calls it a furdemic every time she shaves her upper lip
So this movie is basically trying to capitalize on people’s natural fear of dying from viral outbreaks huh? I have to cry fowl. Documentaries like this make me want to gaggle.
Finally, a Chesley Sulllenberger biopic
This has Birdtastrophe written all over Blockbuster’s In Stock Guarantee.
Talk about winging it…
Those graphics are flocking amazing.
If birds couldn’t fly they’d all just be retarded kids with beaks. I’m nice enough to tell those kids that they’re actually birds and can all fly.
This made me miss Beeks.
Empty PFC roster :(
It looks like a Sega CD game.
I expect once critics get a hold of this, it’ll be universally pandemic.
Tippi Hedren was adorable in “The Birds”.
Does that make the cover an epidemic?
Don’t stare at it too long or you’ll get a migrate headache. *points gun to head*
How the hell is da Staph gonna get all dem birds in his sazz wagon?
