@@shawklan27 The second one was so bad. This film is like those sad people who get lucky and go viral, so they keep doing cringe things in front of the camera desperately trying to reinvigorate their "fame".
Thing is he made two films before the first Birdemic - Julie and Jack and Replica (Rifftrax did them both) So he could be thinking "I HAVE tried something different and failed" forgetting he has name recognition now. But those movies are crap too so he might be right that whatever he'd try would fail anyway.
@@robotrix I looked up the list a while ago and while there are some genuinely bad movies on there a lot of the nominations this years aren't bad merely disappointing with Marvel and DC both having nominations for Ant-Man 3 along with Shazam Fury of The Gods with acting nominees for the supporting cast which is a little odd. Also they missed an opportunity to nominate two actors who have been the center of controversy but I won't go into details. I don't think Bill Murray should have been nominated for worst supporting actor since he's only in Ant-Man 3 for about five minutes and Helen Mirren did the best she could with the material.
@qwalpo99 I remember now..... It's The Exorcist Believer. Which I'm also hoping for because the movie got "Worse Screen Combo" which means they're nominating kid actors again and want to see Sean tear into them.
@qwalpo99I have a conspiracy theory that Blood and Terror was secretly funded by Disney; in a vein attempt to stop future works from becoming public domain.
One way a Birdemic remake could be interesting is if they took the title literally, and made it about a disease that transforms people into monstrous, human, bird hybrids.
PS - There's a sequel to The Birds. It's called "The Birds: Land's End". It was made for TV and Tippi Hendren's in it....playing a different character. There are people with dumber ideas than James Nguyen PPS - Guess Rod not only lost Natalie somewhere but the kid they adopted. Or he poisoned them with a fish, too?
And why is he Zach Galifianakis in this movie? And I'm not joking here, James Nguyen probably told the actor who play Rod to put a wig and a beard just like he told Chelsea Turnbo(Gloria) to bleach her hair, or put a stupid wig on the "treehugger guy", or make the asian zookeeper talk like a tokenize asian...I don't get it, you made the only recognizable character of the 3 movies unrecognizable???? What's the point of all this James????!!!
James Nguyen is like Doug Walker. Both wanted to be taken seriously as filmmakers, but they are basically one-trick ponies. So they are stuck with their same old schtick (Nguyen with Birdemic and Walker with Nostalgia Critic).
Except Walker has tried new things, Demo Reel (though it bombed), Untitled Review Show, Clipless Reviews (Though they have aged badly, he did try something new to his credit), Fanscriptions, Disneycember, the vlogs he does, Twlightober Zone, First Viewing, Batmay. These are only a few examples, but show he isn't afraid to try something new. Even the CA crossover films were him trying something new even if they didn't work out. Difference between Doug and James is James has Doug's ability to be a good sport about it, but can't figure out how to improve other than doing what he did before. Doug has tried new things alongside the same old stuff, so it's not entirely the same.
It feels like James is kind of a one trick pony. Sure's he's done 3 Birdemic movies, but they are all the same exact story. He's essentially made the same exact movie 3 different times, just in different locations.
3:36 This sums up why 'So Bad it's good' works when the film makers are unaware and going for it deliberately usually falls flat [like a lot of the Asylum mock busters].
I remember Smeghead mentioning that movie in his review of The Lonely Lady during his Razzie Worst Picture Winner project and he said that it was even worse than The Lonely Lady and the true Worst Picture of 1983. Yor wasn’t completely overlooked by the Razzies, since it got three nominations (Worst New Star for Reb Brown, Worst Musical Score, and Worst Original Song for “Yor’s World”) yet somehow it wasn’t even nominated for Worst Picture. Ridiculous, I say. Can’t wait to see Sean finally tear it apart!!
Yeah, James seems like he has typecasted himself as The Birdemic Guy. I agree with that Hollywood Agent, instead making Birdemic 3, should have made something else. Like for example, let's take another director who started his career with a big hit that turned into a franchise, Sam Raimi. He made Evil Dead, was a big success, but he didn't go into Evil Dead 2 right away, no, he tried making another movie, Crimewave, which ended up flopping, but returned back for Evil Dead 2 afterwards, and didn't touch that franchise again until he became even bigger after Darkman. Now a days, you don't think of Sam Raimi as The Evil Dead Guy, because he never allowed himself to be typecast as such by doing other things between movies. Now granted, Idk if James would have ever reached the same level as a Sam Raimi, but certainly not doing his career any favors.
Nguyen would be better off making sequels to or variants of the movies he made before Birdemic. Those would be harder to stuff with climate-change messages than Birdemic sequels are, of course. Better to make something new, with or without preachiness.
Hey there! I played Mr. Green, the Elon Musk dude. Just wanna say I loved your review! James is currently aiming to make Birdemic 4‐10 and a musical as well. I believe he's aiming for 2026 for the musical and Birdemic 4. Also that was me on James's right at 20:06. 😅
Blondie is the only person I've seen display any amount of talent in these movies. I really hope this doesn't stop her from getting other work in the future; with a chance I think she could be decently successful.
Idk if I’d say she had talent but she was one of the only people who definitely tried in this movie. Which is kinda funny that usually the only actors who tried in these movies were the blonde girls (minus the one in the second movie).
Dammit Smeghead, I was about to go to bed when you decided to upload not only your first Cinematic Excrement of 2024, but also the first of them that wasn't part of your Worst Picture Project (which I've conveniently made into a Playlist that mostly contains every film you have covered plus their second looks (minus all the Transformers and Twilight movies) andeven threw in The Book of Henry and The Snowman for good measure
18:44 I went to that exact screening. It was a FREE screening held by Beyond Fest in Los Angeles. A free screening, and James couldn’t even fill in half the seats.
Now I know who I lost out to for the role of “chode 5” when I auditioned. They offered me the number 7 role, but stormed out because it was 5 or nothing. Black Dynamite is a hilarious film I say sarcastically. It’s a masterclass of how to spoof a genre.
Another Birdemic Movie Have not Heard About It Until Now I Think It Something To With James Nguyen's Love Mastine Which Is A Plug-In Hyrid, Hanging Out With The Family Or Global Warning
The British pronunciation of Van Gogh is "van gawf." Americans pronounce it like "van go," with a silent GH. The actual Dutch pronunciation is more complicated (Gogh basically makes the same sound as when you're hocking up phlegm, like an H sound mixed with a K sound, at both the beginning and end of the word). I'd recommend looking it up because it's hard to describe in text. But I think most people just pronounce it the American way, like "go."
I googled "extinction insurrection" and it kicked back "extinction rebellion", a UK-founded environmental group. I think that's what Nguyen was making reference to.
Remember. We have 3 Birdemic Movies 6 Sharknado Movies and over 10 Puppet Master Movies. If you have a strange Idea for a Movie don't give up! Make it happend
Know what? I've been here since your Cocktail review. Watched pretty much every reviews you've done. Your bad editing had charm, like the first Birdemic movie! Love ya! Keep on the good work!❤
Have to say, though, there is *one* thing about this Movie I unironically like (or LIKE at all, period): The clearly Van Gogh-inspired poster. Whoever made that, I want to buy him a drink.
Neil Breen is the only so bad it's good director who has managed to make multiple films that arent self-aware and thus entertaining. And even Breen has some stinkers.
Breen did a '5 film retrospective' where he gives advice on how to make movies his way! It's all very serious so thankfully 'self awareness' is a foreign concept to him.
5:54 In all fariness, Nguyen did in fact make a few short films before taking on 'Birdemic 3', namely 'The Man with the Wooden Face' and 'Cosmic Beauty', both of which can easily be found on RU-vid (and make of those as you will). Recently, he's been trying to make some other film called 'Sea Rising'... good luck on that however way it turns out. Also, Nguyen seems to have gladly accepted and embraced the fact that he's the Birdemic Guy. Heck, the link on his Facebook page clearly states that. lol
Wait, James considers himself the master of romantic thriller and Sean uploaded this around Valentine's Day..... Coincidence or intentional, you make the call!
20:18 (For the Next review.....straight forward this time, Sean?) Oh hey, Reb Brown. And during Reburary. Turns out The Thorn Princess is torn on this. Grab some peanuts
🎬Take 1 Action....and Cut! Good enough, we'll fix it in post, done, that's a wrap. Now its finally time for some oldskool hanging out hanging out hanging out with my family. (and having ourselves a partay)
20:00 "Remaking a remake...we need to go deeper and remake a remake of a remake." *Inception BWAAAAAAAA noises intensify* (Battle Beyond the Stars is an example of a film which could be considered a remake of a remake, as it clearly takes at least some elements from The Magnificent Seven - like Robert Vaughn's character - rather than just being a sci-fi remake of Seven Samurai. There are probably other examples, like some of the films involving much-adapted books/characters, e.g. some versions of Dracula.)
Not sure what my punishment will be for vaguely defending the film-maker here, but "Extinction Insurrection" is clearly a dollar-tree version of the real-life environmental campaign group, Extinction Rebellion.
James has a pattern. Even when he's done something different, it still feels the same in many ways. Julie & Jack for instance is also about a blonde lady and brunette guy, and has bad special effects. I really don't think doing some short films would have helped.
James needs to forgo His Magnum Dopus Birdemic, if he's genuinely passionate about filmmaking. Otherwise, there'll be nothing but bad CGI bird droppings in his future.
Glad to seen a full Cine. Ex. episode not restricted to the Razzies, but THIS?!? No fun to be had here, just the malaise attendant upon watching paint dry. Please let Yor swing in on his vine soon!
