The Birds/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Adaptation Displacement: Did you know there was a short story?
    • By Daphne du Maurier, no less...
  • Ear Worm: I married my wife in the month of June. Risseldy, rosseldy, Mow, mow, mow. I carried her off in a silver spoon. Risseldy, Rosseldy, hey bambassity, nickety, nackety, retrical quality, willowby, wallowby, mow, mow, mow.
  • Hell Is That Noise: The birds' cries when they were swarming the house in the last 20 minutes of the film.
  • Narm: "I think you're EVIL! EVIL!" Geez, lady, we understand you're very frightened here, but come now....
  • Special Effects Failure: The bird effects were extremely technically innovative when the film first released, but look rather ropey nowadays.
