"I have never known birds of different species to flock together. Why, if that happened we wouldn't stand a chance!" We watched The Birds (1963) directed by Alfred Hitchcock and if you need us we'll be jumping into fountains in Rome. We spend a lot of time defending this movie from its camp reputation but we strongly suggest you watch it start to finish - it's a banger. The Birds has all the hallmarks of a classic Hitchcock thriller - tense action sequences, cutting edge (for the time) special effects and a Hitchcock Blonde that can stop traffic. Tippi Hedren plays bratty socialite Melanie Daniels as a no-nonsense woman about town who goes out of her way (on a Saturday) driving 60 miles to get the better of a guy she just met. Modern gays on Grindr would never! We talk queer allegories (does Melanie act more like a modern gay man?) Mamas boys and fashionable chignons. All of this leading up to our real life run-in with matriarch of modern Hollywood dynasty Tippi Hedren herself. Buckle up kids.
