three competing bird watchers

the fuck?

You can bird watch competitively?

And they're making a movie about it?

Gosh, I wonder if Jack Black will fall down/get kicked in the nuts/fart on-screen.

Unless this changes mid-film and becomes a Hitchcockian nightmare where the birds turn on them and devour their eyes (for REAL, I mean, not in the movie), I'm out.

You know how you're happy when two people you despise get married, knowing they'll only fuck up two families instead of four?

That's two other movies unfuckedup.

It's a good day, people!

I get the feeling that Owen will be playing a sight deviation from his role in The Royal Tenenbaums. He's be a Texas cowboy type bird-watcher. And drawl about how you have to FEEL birdwatching and it's not just about genus and species, Steve Martin you uptight and clean slightly older man who lives alone. (In itself a deviation of his role in Roxanne, I'd say. Sans nose.)
Jack Black will play some kind of large flightless bird.

OOH, should be retitled Bird Dogs.

Perhaps this will be fertile ground for Owen Wilson to affect the empathetic surfer depth while expanding his "Ka-Kaw, Ka-Kaw" vocal schtick, for Steve Martin to mince around with bermuda shorts and binoculars while muttering waspish epithets under his breath, and for Jack Black to do the cross-eyed ape face while handing out flyers in a brightly-feathered bird costume outside a grocery store full of attractive single moms.

Oops, I almost forgot Jane Lynch as the bird, brought to life through some awesome digital face and neck performance capture. Look for the Cameo of George Lucas as a petulant pelican...who...um...poops pennies to piss off penguins. Perfect.

1. Yeah, you can birdwatch competitively, though very few bird nerds actually do that.

2. I never realized how incredibly wonk-eyed Steve Martin was before I saw that header pic.

3. This movie ug.

laredo touche.
