Will Birdemic 2 get its own riff?

[Sugar Ray Dodge]

Do you think it will warrant one? It might be an entirely different kind of "bad movie." I don't see these guys pulling off metahumor very well...

I think it kind of depends on how the movie itself is recieved.  Birdemic was bad, plus it gained cult status on its own, so it made a great target.  Too me it seems like making a sequel built on the "success" of a movie like this is just a recipie for forgettable crap.

I think this will go by riff-less just like Hobgoblins 2 did.  It's Riff-bait, best to move on.

Could be wrong, we'll see.

Oh wow. It never occurred to me that Hobgoblins 2 was riff-bait. I thought it was Rick Sloane trying to make a buck and relive some glory.

"So, director of this movie, Rick Sloane, are you, in fact, a total idiot? (Say yes.)"

"Yes, yes, I am an idiot, that is correct."

I think the Birdemic.... "franchise" is too self-aware at this point for the sequel to be riffable. The first movie was "naturally bad" because James Nguyen was honestly trying to make a movie. But in the aftermath of the selected distributor it's since been presented and sold as a "bad movie. "  Between a version of the release coming with a coat hanger and agreeing to the RTLive! event.  The movie "knows" it's a bad movie now. So the sequel will likely try and to capitalize off of that and be intentionally making a bad movie.  Which may not be as riffable.

Back before the release of the film on DVD, I saw a number of critics arguing that Birdemic was also too bad to have been made that way accidentally.

Personally, I'd wait until the movie was out before calling for a riff of it.

There's so much wrong with Birdemic it would take genius-level intelligence to make it so "purposefully bad." 

[Sugar Ray Dodge]

It makes no sense that Birdemic was made intentionally bad. It's like the bullshit notion The Room was made intentionally bad. There's no way these brain-geniuses can pull that off, other than the fact that they so obviously thought they were making Casablanca or Gone with the Wind or the goddamn Ten mother fucking Commandments.
