Friday Fun Thread for June 27, 2025

Following up on Rear Window, I watched The Birds (1963) yesterday. Apparently Netflix licensed a bunch of Alfred Hitchcock movies; good to know.

Some thoughts:

  • We never find out why the birds are attacking, though the trailer implies they are rebelling against human abuse.
  • You know how modern horror movies will make you spend twenty minutes with jerks before the monster shows up and starts fucking people up? This movie takes a whole hour for the first major bird attack to take place; that's half of its runtime!
  • FMC is adventurous, perhaps a little too much so; lying at the drop of a hat, breaking into LI's home for a prank, etc.
  • The shot of the lovebirds leaning with the car turns was amusing.
  • LI's jaw could cut diamonds.
  • Smoker culture is prevalent, with people offering strangers cigarettes as they would a glass of water.
  • Phone calls are expensive enough that FMC offers to pay for them, but cheap enough that the postmaster eats the cost.
  • Special effects are a little dated; it's very easy to tell that the actors are in one layer and the birds in another.
  • Scariest part of the movie? The post office with a sign saying that dog licenses are issued there. "Oi, mate! Ya got a loicense for dat pupper?"

Does your municipality not do dog licenses? I thought they were common everywhere.

Culture War Roundup for the week of June 30, 2025

Not to mention that NATO is inheriting a basket case nation that makes nation building in Afghanistan look like a cake walk.

The odds of Russia folding completely and needing NATO occupation as a result of their invasion of Ukraine seems extremely low.
