    F-ing brilliant. I’ll bet Hitch would have loved that.

    Better than the movie’s real trailer. Even the slowly crescendoing siren works.

    The actual trailer is kinda long and slow, but has its moments.

    “Surely the birds appreciate all we’ve done for them… don’t you? Beautiful cage, fresh water, no other birds to bother you, none of that blinding sunlight…”
    (caged bird pecks his finger)
    “Ow! Now, why would he do that? Most peculiar. What on earth…?”
