Subject: [nysbirds-l] New Movie: The Big Year
I'm not sure if anyone knows about this already or not, but there's a
new movie coming out October 14th in theatres called The Big Year (based on the
book The Big Year by Mark Obmascik). The movie is about a
group of mid-aged guys that decide to do a big year in America and see
more birds than anyone else for the year. The movie is starring Jack Black,
Owen
Wilson, and Steve Martin (and actors playing the roles of famous birders
like Debi Shearwater!).
Although Jack, Owen, and Steve are arguably
very "One note" comedians, the movie looks pretty funny. As far as im
concerned, there's never been a birding movie that's like this one... so it's
probably a must watch for all birders. You can see the trailer for it on
Youtube.com or IMDB. I think It's kind of a bold move making a
movie about birding because so many people are unaware of the sport,
and the director will have to try to make the subject of
birding relatable and enjoyable to the entire viewing audience (but of
course I'm gonna enjoy it!).
What are your views on the new movie? are you going to see it?
Good Birding (movie)!!!

P.S.-- I've been meaning to check up on the status of the Wheatear at
Croton Train Station all week for the sake of those interested in going
to see it, but unfortunately, even though I live 4 minutes from the
location, I just haven't been able to find time to go over there. I hope its
still there for those who haven't seen it yet.
