Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 22, 2025

“Oh yeah? Well I’m gonna make you watch THE SEQUEL!”

-SQUAAAAAAWK!

Radio commercial for the movie went something like this…

“The Birds” is coming!

Shouldn’t that be the birds are coming?

Not the birds! I said “The Birds” !

Better watch out Lio. The bird’s friends might be coming for you.

from mockingbird to war hawk

When I was young I would visit my aunt who kept a small bird in a cage no wider than its wings. How cruel, I thought, surely it wants to fly?

And now with Avien Influenza.

Obviously a re-run to the avian in the room

Now, that is a horror movie that really gives me chills. Still. Well done, Mr. Hitchcock, well done.

That movie scared the heck out of me when it first came out! LOL

Lio will handle it fine….of only his bird would stop narrating through the whole movie…….☺️

Never understood what it was revenge for.

When I was a kid I LOVED that movie!

A movie that still scares me 60 years later.

Saw it in a theater when it came out. It was OK. Bodega Bay is a beautiful town IRL.

worst. ending. ever.
