BIRDEMIC - SHOCK AND TERROR: JAMES NGUYEN TALKS!

[@xDanishGamerz]

+Tregeta You are stupid if you think that...

[@jackbandit2114]

The guy is an idiot and a joke, but his film did make money.

[@nothingreally6680]

I feel like Tommy Wiseau gets it at the very least. He seems to at least know that it's a bad film, but not want to say it out loud so he can at least feel like he contributed something to the world, and to an extent he did. It is immensely entertaining, but this guy, James Nguyen actually seriously has convinced himself that he has made a great movie.

[@xDanishGamerz]

Nothing Really Everyone behind the movie knows that its shit. It was made as a joke, just like sharknado.

[@nothingreally6680]

xDanishGamerz I encourage you to watch the Better Off Undead podcast interview of Whitney Moore, one of the actresses, who goes on and explains how weird it was working with James onset. It's really a lot of background and makes me wonder if maybe she is a good actress in the hands of the worst imaginable director.

[@WH250398]

This interview has better Direction, sound, editing, writing, acting, and visual effects than Birdemic.

[@WaterhouseFilms]

It makes me sad to see that this guy is doing better than me and I actually try

[@gregoryent]

+ClarkandStagg Films this guy did try, and this guy isn't in touch with how terrible his movie is. Even if you are terrible, which you aren't. You have actual decent cinematography, sound construction etc. And I just assume you don't have a budget of $10,000

[@hi-lr1fi]

Honestly, if this guy went far in life you can go far in life, your films are actually amazing and your cinematography is insane, so much better than birdemic

[@HagSIN]

I do have to say that keeping some clothes hangers in frame during the entire interview is tremendously appropriate

[@shapehazy]

I think Nguyen's films have a very strong message and we are just not mature enough to fully comprehend it. He is way ahead of his time, just like Hitchcock was.

[@bluecollarmenproductions]

urrrrrrr is this James?

[@bluestar4579]

Kristaps Locmelis No, he is not way ahead of his time. He's just a crappy writer and a really shitty director.

[@TheNerdDojo]

I think his movies are good except for special effects and sound , his stories characters and directing is pretty good

[@testest12344]

Kristaps Locmelis Except Hitchcock's movies were actually LIKED back then as well.

[@IrrelevantPlease]

BlueStar you are delusional then. Birdemic was revolutionary for its time. James broke new ground across multiple fronts of cinematology and shaped the future of movies forever.

[@KIRA-EL]

I refuse to believe he is that dense about his movies its gotta be a joke cause there is just no way man.

[@NinjaLB8]

Kira Lawlet Whitney Moore said he was serious yo...

[@KIRA-EL]

[@dreamspacemedia]

If he were smart, he'd act like he made the film bad intentionally as some sort of tongue-in-cheek parody. He just seems wildly delusional, either that or the most dedicated troll who ever lived.

[@ThePaperSun]

Dreamspace Media I'm going with the latter. I feel the same about Tommy Wiseau.

[@Terelon]

+Dreamspace Media He's delusional.

[@christaylor7916]

There is something... 'off' about this guy. I don't mean the stuff he's talking about (Birdemic being a serious romantic thriller and all that) but how he carries himself. I mean, he's obviously not Tommy Wiseau-kind of insane, but still... something is very wrong here...

As a Vietnamese, I apologized for this atrocity of a human being. We knew our movie even back in our homeland sucked ball but NOT AS BAD AS THIS GUY'S LEVEL OF NIGHTMARE RIGHT HERE.

[@hecklife6636]

[@TheSMLIFfilms]

"If you truly love movies, you can't help but make a good one" Well apparently that's all bullshit.

[@asinineintelligence6194]

"It became a hit" does he realize that the reason for it, is because it BOMBED!

[@javier8920]

My brain is shutting down. I can't process the level of ridiculousness this man demonstrates. He legitimately thinks his films are good. A serious story? The audience enjoyed it? A GOOD CASTING? WTF. DID YOU NOT SEE HOW BAD THE ACTOR PLAYING THE PROTAGONIST WAS? The characters were flatter than a sheet of paper! And for Christ's sake, humour? The only "humour" in this movie is the fact that it is so fundamentally bad that it made me laugh (and cry inside). The dialogue is literally awful and creates situations and conversations that would never happen in real life. And, worst of all, the CGI. Not only is it the worst CGI I have ever seen; IT LOOKS LIKE A FREAKING VIDEO GAME. I don't even... I mean I wouldn't be this mad if it were an old movie from like the 1980s. But 2010? A movie like this in 2010? Wow. Don't get me wrong, I respect this man (even though it may not seem like it, I do), however I just cannot believe that he thinks that such an abomination of a film was a hit. I had to get it out of my system.

[@knocknockify]

I think he is mentally ill

[@jynxtwin3966]

I was thinking the something like the 1st mortal kombat movie had bad cgi but it was ok because it was made in 1995 but if you are still making movies now with bad cgi than that's just sad

[@SidBlackheart]

I actually liked Birdemic. I mean, how often do you see something that's so crappy?

[@MrPoshyandjoinc]

"good casting may save your movie, and that's what happened with Birdemic Shock and Terror" - in what world are the actors you chose good? I can't believe this guy is serious, it just has to be some sort of satire.

[@Longknife]

"It was by accident." I believe him, it sure as fuck looked like an accident.

[@steveRoll595]

That guy wasn't the director of this movie... his 8-year-old son is. Or he doesn't have a son... I dunno, there's no Wikipedia page about him...

PLEASE. someone. someone tell me this guy is trolling

[@CharlesXavier]

Does anyone find it weird that he often refers to Alfred Hitchcock as 'Mr. Alfred Hitchcock'? It's like he's trying to make it sound like he literally worked with the damn guy.

[@fireblazercc]

Wait, so was he trying to brainwash the viewers at the end? He says "beyond a few good laugh and being entertained" (yes, with that same grammar ever time) about 5 times one right after another.

[@fireblazercc]

[@MinaTee0]

omfg so funny xD

[@sethdamaskinos8868]

This guy is delusional!

[@thefairhairedboywiththered2951]

The level of incompetence in Birdemic is extremely bizarre and would take most people some effort to achieve. If this man is serious then he is delusional. It is not even a a proper feature film, in fact, if it was properly edited it would last about 20 minutes.

[@94xm]

even if i was drunk and on the highest grade ganja, i could still make a better movie with my fucking cell phone camera

[@tekhiun]

the first 3 seconds show on what 80% of the budget of the move was spent on.

[@joshuanord6201]

Yes... Brilliant casting choices. That is what made this movie a hit. Bravo! (3 YEARS OF HIS LIFE!!! HAHAHAHAHA! Oh my god.)

[@ghostofapril1]

i honestly cant believe this man thinks this movie became a hit or anything to that extent. I'm not a film maker, but I did almost sell a screenplay to a production company. This is by far the worst thing I have ever seen. I am truly sorry.

[@chrisizme2]

Is that Hitchcock on the patio? Hahaha

[@animateangus]

I bet you the guy who was interviewing him had duct tape across his mouth to stop himself LOLING at this guys seriousness!

[@overkillforever1]

You know what they should have asked the director,WHY DID YOU MAKE A BIG BAG OF SHIT AND SELL AS A MOVIE.That would have been funny.

[@CharlesXavier]

The saddest and most ironic thing is that James Nguyen's own KZbin channel (Moviehead Pictures) has far fewer views, comments and subscribers than the other channels who upload videos about him and his movies.

[@DungeonsandNaggins]

Thumbs up for the man in the background picking his nose and eating the snots!

[@MrRedMaster]

Anyone else think he looks like hes doing the yao ming face in the thumbnail?

[@dinggledoser]

He seems like a cool guy.

[@HowlingSaguaro97]

honestly, i would like to make movies too. but they'd turn out probably better than this, but still really bad... and i'd just go with it. i think movies are funny when they're really shitty.

[@legopasta8903]

He seems like a cool guy with a lot of movie knowledge, shame that his movies are shit and that he is blinded and/or naive and ignorant, I think its because of the audience, he sees them liking it (Im guessing they think its so bad its good) and he takes that as: 'my movies great' its kinda sad for him :P

[@Mysticsloth]

gotta love the shaking camera.. XD omg it makes me feel seasick...

[@JenZDoomer]

I think that he is in over his head and creates different things to make the turnout seem better to himself, I mean, obviously the casting was bad, and I don't think he could've done anything better in that department; but I think he wants to believe that his casting, and actually everything else about it was "good enough". But the reality is that Birdemic was terrible in every aspect. At least he enjoyed it...

[@B3NKiller]

The cast saved the movie?!?!

[@krishshautriya5170]

To be fair to the actors, even Al Pacino would have screwed up if he was cast in a movie this bad.

[@atharvkulkarni2410]

I'm seriously starting to think that this guy believes the word "thriller" means comedy, and he actually wants to say that he created a romantic comedy, cuz THERE AIN'T NO THRILLER IN THE 2ND HALF OF THE MOVIE, PEOPLE! hope this get read...:P

[@itlepip]

You never went to film school, it doesn't show. This seems like the dropouts last second movie as an insult to the teachers.

[@HagSIN]

La Brea means "Tar Pit"?!?!?! Who knew?!?!?!

[@Lugo428]

So, I guess that famous tar pit in California had the most redundant name in existence.

[@DarthCipient]

This guy must surely be taking the piss. He has to be Vietnam's version of Brass Eye. There can be no other logical explanation.

[@juanguillen9409]

I believe James Nguyen has talent. I know everybody disagrees. But i really like how he uses his Alfred Hitchcock style. The dialogue and acting of Birdemic is nothing compared to Alfred Hitchcock movies, but the story is not that bad. I just think he needs to realize the art of filmmaking and learn actual filmmaking, because he is smart. He just dosent realize how a film is supposed to be made.

[@tbewin1z143]

It's literally a copy of the birds plot, except global warming is the cause 🤷‍♂️

[@unemployedgringo]

This guy is the most dedicated troll in history. I mean seriously I think one day he woke up and decided that he wanted to have one of the worst movies of all time so he purposely made two bad movies and acted like he was serious.

[@DanielVerberne]

I don't get how at no stage does Nguyen acknowledge any shortcomings. It's ... bizarre. I wonder if he is watching the same film as us or not? I don't even mean this as derogatory against Nguyen, just that I mean, obviously, the film is poorly executed in many ways, and yet no real acknowledge of any of that.
