les Oiseaux au naturel
We just got back from watching Hitchcock's classic at the park. The rain only stuck around for the first 20 mins & then all was breezy & cool. The print of the movie looked fine, it must be newer & the sound (managed by Jason Ward who just recorded Taking Pictures) was fantastic. The screeching birds were just this side of intolerable. Some non-typical movie highlights included a people clapping for thunder & lightning, a boy & his sister farting randomly & giggling uncontrollably for 3 mins before settling down, people yelling "don't go in there!" & "open the door!" when Melanie (Tippi Hedren) dares enter the bedroom at the top of the stairs & the general idea of a genuine multitude watching a movie outside. Nice.
