Eli Roth on THE BIRDS

[@SousSherpa]

I love that shirt: "Scorsese" with The Scorpions font.

[@ChrisWolff2013]

Seth Rogen wore the same shirt in Funny People

[@Danimal77]

The trailer to Psycho was amazing as well (really funny) and quite long too. It's Hitchcock giving us a tour of the motel and the house.

"Yeah he was Hitchcock, you've made one movie" I'm dead

[@albertibass6521]

The Birds is a pro-conservation film about the consequences of messing around with nature. P.G&E. started construction on the 1st commercial nuclear power plant in CA. The one problem was they built the foundation directly over an earthquake fault line. The locals went ballistic when they found out, contacted government officials, and had the power plant stopped, leaving only the foundation which they subsequently filled with water and turned it into a bird sanctuary. The location of the thwarted power plant is Bodega Bay, CA.

The trailer for Rope is an unusual one, too, in that it begins with a scene which isn't in the film, featuring a character who is dead by the first time you see him.

amazing director. the godfather of cinema and horror/suspense

[@sachaput]

I remember seeing this in a theater. When we came out there were dozens of crows sitting up on some telephone wires just outside the entrance and some people actually screamed. Odd coincidence but it did reveal the impact the film had on the audience.

[@robertgandler3177]

It is Hitchcock"s third Daphne deMaurier adaptation following Jamaica Inn and Rebecca

[@JakeJarvi]

Ahh, Hitch. "We all wish we were more famous than the actors in the movie." Love it.

[@daxxonjabiru428]

"Most longest". That's what *he* said.

[@ianbauer4703]

Hollywood Boy, fer sure

[@ChrisWolff2013]

I'm not a fan of this guy's work, but he's definitely someone I would like to just sit around, have a beer and talk about movies with.

[@ianbauer4703]

Who? Hitchcock or Roth?

[@ChrisWolff2013]

@@ianbauer4703 Roth. Seems like a real nice guy, but he couldn't write or direct a movie to save his life.

[@ianbauer4703]

@@ChrisWolff2013 Agreed. Though I did like his character in "Inglorious Basterds"

[@andrewbrendan1579]

Is it just me or is it unusual that the "...kind of boring library..." has a gun rack?

[@miklmouse]

Universal Studios used to show this in 3D in their Hitchcock attraction

[@JRTodd]

This movie has no musical score. Only sound effects were used to control tension

[@Blaqjaqshellaq]

I think Bernard Herrmann, Hitch's longtime composer, advised on the sound.

[@queenglamazona8789]

This might be Alfred Hitchcock's Best Movie.

[@Blaqjaqshellaq]

"THE BIRDS is coming!"

[@brandonleague3641]

Hitchcock trolls his audience. And it's brilliant.

[@garybrockie6327]

I disagree that this is boring. It’s funny. The. “Lecture “ sets up the concept or the movie.

[@greglagsdin1138]

Its a shame Hitck didn't get Rod Taylor for Torn Curtain it would have been a better movie

[@josephkearny5874]

and of course it followed Psycho (1960)!

[@richardkennedy8481]

Is there an option to watch this without the commentary?

[@classic_movie_trailers]

Yes, plenty of other channels have this trailer. But, hey, this is a different concept channel; the whole point is for contemporary directors to give us their take on a trailer (and/or the film).

[@gloiven]

tarinto do doctore dead. what a dark circle.

[@azrielhopkins7795]

HellBoy back in 2004 And do it's HellBoy 2 back In 2009.

[@dennisscanlon2610]

Yeah, Mr. Roth you could learn a thing or two from Hitchcock.
