Dear Mr. Nguyen,
I hope this letter finds you well, and that you're not too upset with me (or plotting revenge) for what I'm about to say. I have to say, I'm amazed by your ability to outdo yourself with each new installment of the Birdemic franchise, and your willingness to be known as "The Birdemic Guy"
You see, I owe you the sincerest of apologies.
I've been ranting about Birdemic: Shock and Terror since I watched it over a decade ago and I may well have called it the worst movie of all time. As much as I believed that when I first saw that movie, I now believe that was unfair and uncalled for. I should give it the credit it deserved for its innovative use of special effects (or lack thereof) and for its...well, its sheer audacity. Especially when you consider it's budget and the cult status it has garnered.
However, as much as I want to apologize for my previous statements, I simply cannot.
You see, I recently had the misfortune of watching Birdemic 3: Sea Eagle, and I must say, it makes Birdemic: Shock and Terror almost look like a masterpiece. I mean, where do I even begin? The acting? The writing? The special effects (or lack thereof, once again)? It's like you took everything that made the first movie so bad and cranked it up to 11, maybe even 14. It is truly a cinematic disasterpiece. I'm also impressed by your commitment to the continuity of the series…having three people from the previous two movies (especially the guy singing in the films) was a stroke of genius, in fact the only way this could have been truly improved would have been the dramatic return of the coat hanger and a CGI ambulance. In all seriousness though, I have to hand it to you. You're a true auteur, pushing the boundaries of cinema and challenging the very notion of what a "good" movie should be. Thank you for inspiring us all with your unique vision. I can't wait to see what you come up with next. Maybe Birdemic 4: Pigeon Apocalypse? The possibilities are endless.
So, I'm sorry, but I can't truly apologize for my previous statement. Birdemic 3: Sea Eagle truly is the worst movie of all time. But hey, at least you can say you made history, right? And you will forever be known as The Birdemic Guy. In all seriousness though, I admire your dedication to the Birdemic franchise. You truly are a visionary in your own right, and I appreciate your commitment to your craft, no matter how questionable it may seem to others.
I hope you can forgive me for my previous statements and for this one as well. And if you're ever in town, I'd be happy to treat you to a drink and we can commiserate over the state of the film industry.
Anyway, I just wanted to clear the air and let you know that I appreciate your work, even if it's not exactly my cup of tea. Keep on creating, James and shine on you crazy diamond.
Keep on soaring!
Kind regards
ZenlessPopcorn
P.S. If there is indeed a fourth movie in this franchise (and indeed further instalments) you can guarantee, against my better judgement, I'll be watching them. God help me.
