Title: The Pain of Birdemic... oh the Pain I went through
Post by: Devian on July 24, 2015, 05:22:51 PM
First off, let me just say that I used to work for a Software Company that I wish not to defame in the San Francisco Bay Area and I was hired by both the president and someone named Tri Nguyen... James Nguyen (he anglified his name so Americans wouldn't butcher it). He often bragged about a movie he had made. One Friday afternoon we all had to watch it. It was Birdemic... I had to watch that Canker Sore of a movie with the director himself; who doubled as my boss. No. We did not have the benefit of Rifftrax. No. I didn't like it... Ti fired me not too long after that. I would like the crew at Rifftrax for their actions regarding that movie (using the term movie loosely). I can't believe that guy actually made another movie called Julie and Jack; which I am now watching the Rifftrax of. Dear god! So far its just as bad as Birdemic...

That's interesting!  So, he stayed in the software business after making Birdemic.  I assumed he quit the software business, and used all his profits to make Birdemic. 

Did you get fired for giving someone a 50% discount?

I assumed he got fired for clapping awkwardly at a board meeting.

Late to this one but that's a fascinating story.
