Article is new enough, Review Conditions met, sources looks good. However, the wording of the hook could be a bit better.

• Alt1 ... that James Nguyen (pictured) directed Birdemic: Shock and Terror, considered one of the worst films of all time, and paid $10,000 out of his own pocket?

Additionally, I am just getting back in to editing so if someone more experienced me could get a second look it would be much appreciated. Thanks --Church ^Talk 05:15, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

• Anyone want to take a look at ALT1? Thanks! BobAmnertiopsis∴_ChatMe! 05:23, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

I updated the page from a redirect to an article, so I thought perhaps I might throw my two cents/ten thousand dollars into the discussion:

• Alt2 ... that James Nguyen (pictured) directed Birdemic: Shock and Terror, considered one of the worst films of all time, and financed its $10,000 budget with his own money?

I think this phraseology is a bit better for the trivia, since it states clearly where the money went to. –Matthew - (talk) 18:24, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

• Agreed that ALT2 is the best of the bunch. @Church:, would you care to take a look at it? Thanks! BobAmnertiopsis∴_ChatMe! 18:34, 20 July 2016 (UTC)

Much better phrasing then mine. Good to go! I think I'm going to go watch this movie now. --Church ^Talk 18:40, 20 July 2016 (UTC)
