"The Birds" has not aged well

I loved Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" when I saw it years ago, and was excited when I noticed it was on last night. Boy, it's aged terribly - - more a farce than thriller. Here's a good example:

Jean Claude Van Damme is still alive, and the trailer for his new movie is excellent

Owen Wilson has a "sober buddy"

"Rather than spending the standard 60 to 90 days in a clinic like Promises or Betty Ford, the actor or actress or exec hires a sober companion to keep on track. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, this coach by your side makes sure you stay clean."
