The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Signs film - The Plot

The film is about a rural family that lives on a farm. The father, Graham Hess (Gibson), is a former Episcopal priest who has lost his faith after his wife is killed in a horrific traffic accident by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel (as portrayed by M. Night Shyamalan). No longer practicing religiously, he lives with his brother, Merrill (Joaquin Phoenix), and his young daughter (Bo) and son (Morgan). Things are fairly steady in life until a mysterious crop circle appears in his corn field. Its origin and purpose is unknown.

The Birds: Encyclopedia II - British Invasion - The first invasion

The roots of the first British Invasion were sown with the explosion of American Rock and Roll in 1955. Following the successful export of Bill Haley and the Comets, Elvis Presley, and other rock 'n' roll acts in the late 1950s, large numbers of British teens formed bands to emulate their American heroes. They copied both the musical styles and the rebellious images of the Americans, both of which deeply resonated with UK youth at the time. Britain produced a few successful homegrown artists during this time, such as Cliff Richard and The Sh ...

The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Western Gull - Behaviour

The Western Gull is an exclusively marine gull that is seldom encountered inland. It nests on offshore islands and rocks along the coast, and on islands inside estuaries, and a colony also exists on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco Bay.

The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Tippi Hedren - Early life

Hedren was born of a Swedish father and a German-Norwegian mother. Her father gave her the moniker "Tippi" even though her birth name is Nathalie Hedren. "My father thought Nathalie was a little bit much for a brand new baby," Hedren remembered at a 2004 screening of The Birds. Tippi comes from the Swedish nickname "Tupsa," or "sweetheart." As a teenager, Hedren took part in department store fashion shows. Her parents relocated to California while she was still a student in high school. As soon as she had her 18th birthd ...

The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Treehouse of Horror XI - Synopsis

Treehouse of Horror XI - G-G-Ghost D-D-Dad. Homer reads the horoscope at breakfast, where it says that he is going to die today (and someone from work will compliment him). Marge's horoscope says that her husband will die. Homer mocks the horoscope and dances around, until he gets a paper cut. Later, in the driveway, a bolt of lightning strikes a nearby tree, which falls close to the car, missing Homer by inches. Homer dimisses it. As he drives, a pickup truck in front of him hits a pothole, which causes a pickaxe to fly directly at Homer and embed itself in his head. He d ...

The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Telephone booth - The telephone booth in culture

The concept of the telephone booth is a useful metaphor in storytelling. In Stanley Kubrick's 1968 movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, a scientist journeying to the moon uses a pay phone to communicate with his daughter on earth, showing movie audiences that an act as prosaic as telephoning one's daughter remains part of the human condition regardless of mankind's exploration of the universe. Although this telephone booth is futuristic enough to travel through space and feature a live video link with Dr. Floyd's daughter, the matter of payment remains a tim ...

The Birds: Encyclopedia II - Angel Island Sonic - History

According to most versions of the story, when Dr. Eggman's Death Egg crashed on Angel Island at the end of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, he tricked the Master Emerald's guardian, Knuckles the Echidna, into thinking that Sonic wanted to steal the Master Emerald, when it was actually Eggman who wanted it. Sonic managed to convince Knuckles of his innocence, after which they stopped Eggman together and became friends. The Angel Island has served as a location for several events in many Sonic the Hedgehog games, and has also appeared in ot ...

Ontario general election 2003 - Conduct of the campaign. Many observers commented on the high level of mudslinging during the campaign, even though all sides had disavowed this tactic during the televised debate. Both the Liberals and Progressive Conservatives (Tories) participated in mudslinging, but it was the Conservative side that initiated many of the more egregious incidents. One bizarre incident took place on September 12, when a press release from the Tories referred to Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty as a ...

The Birds: Encyclopedia II - The Monkees - From TV to stage

Critics of The Monkees complained that they were a made-for-TV knockoff of The Beatles (although John Lennon was a fan of the show, comparing its humor to The Marx Brothers), and that The Monkees were a group chosen by television producers Schneider and Rafelson. The massive success of the series and its spin-off records had created intense pressure to mount a touring version of the group by late 1966. Against the initial wishes of the producers, Dolenz, Jones, Nesmith and Tork went out on the road. The results were far better than an ...

The Birds: Encyclopedia II - The Monkees - Beyond television

During the filming of the second season, the band tired of scripts and storylines they deemed monotonous and stale. Various band members proposed switching the format of the series to become more like a variety show, with musical guests and performances. This desire was partially fulfilled within some second season episodes, with guest stars like musicians Frank Zappa, Tim Buckley and Charlie Smalls (composer of The Wiz), performing at the end of the show. However NBC wasn't interested in changing the existing format, and the group expres ...

The Birds: Encyclopedia II - The Monkees - The End of The Monkees

Six albums were produced with the original lineup (four of which went to Number 1 on the Billboard chart), which was supplemented by a series of successful world concert tours. But tensions within the group were increasing, and Tork quit shortly after the band's Far East tour in late 1968, but not before completing work on their 1969 NBC television special, 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee. Three more albums would follow while Tork (in December 1968) and then Nesmith (in March 1970) left the group, leaving only Dolenz and Jones to record as The ...

Brushed off by critics during their heyday as manufactured and lacking talent, The Monkees experienced a critical and commercial rehabilitation in 1986. A Monkees TV show marathon on the video music channel MTV re-launched the group, sparking worldwide interest by both original fans and their children, who flocked to see Dolenz, Jones and Tork on their "20th Anniversary Tour." The marathon effectively resurrected Monkeemania, and the tour was forced to move from smaller venues to larger stadiums. Nesmith was forced to sit out most of these reunion projects because of prior commitments to his bustling ...

The Birds: Encyclopedia II - The Monkees - Impact of The Monkees

The Monkees, selected specifically to appeal to the youth market with their manufactured personae and carefully produced singles, can be seen as the original precursor to the modern proliferation of studio and corporation-created bands, or the modern boy band. However, The Monkees differ from typical modern boy bands in several respects. The Monkees did not perform the tightly harmonized ballads or synchronized dance routines boy bands are noted for today. The group was shown playing musical instruments on the show, or actually played instru ...
