The Birds ending is one of my favourite movie endings, whenever I watch it I end up with a mix of tension and a strange feeling of paranoia. I somehow think the original ending would have destroyed this feeling, of course solely based on the video description.

The fact that it ends with the slow and frightened walk from the house to the car shows the power and control of the birds, they don’t run away the birds allow them to leave. Nevertheless I would love to watch the original ending.

Black Sea, Fennesz

This could be the best ambient music album I have listened so far. Fennesz (Christian Fennesz) uses plenty of white noise, but strangely I still find it very cozy and organic, like something is slowly growing with each song. But anyway I guess many people think it’s just noise. (By the way you have open the player link to listen the full song – no registration needed)
