Chinese Take-Off / Or Belafonte’s Big Day (Sort Of)
Loading ...My name is Lou. My poodle’s name was Belafonte. Every year on Belafonte’s B-Day we’d split an order of Chinese food and watch a dog movie. Like “All Dog’s Go To Heaven” or “Cujo”. Well, this year I almost let him down. I searched for some delicious take-out… and I ended up with a Hell-hot carton of TAKE-OFF. Don’t ask. Just watch.

December 21st, 2009 at 3:49 pm
a meta-cinema exercise in irrational exuberance that blows your mind, in the same way that only Sarah Palin and open group sex can offer.

That was awesome - great editing

December 23rd, 2009 at 2:17 am

this is a very good short. I say it gets 5 STARS!
December 23rd, 2009 at 4:44 pm
Sorry man. I know it’s supposed to be a spoof, but it offended me. Not funny or original at all. Sad to see this would be your typical day
December 23rd, 2009 at 4:44 pm
I love this short, great work!
December 23rd, 2009 at 5:01 pm
kidheroes — Lighten up. Focus your attention on garnering votes for your friend’s video.

December 23rd, 2009 at 6:06 pm

December 23rd, 2009 at 7:25 pm
It’s brilliant!
December 23rd, 2009 at 9:02 pm
I give you 5 STARS…I sure hope my vote showed up for you!!!! …The voting was vague/totally unclear. …Should be fixed by the webmaster.
December 23rd, 2009 at 10:26 pm
That was hilarious. I was a little worried the way it started. But it was a lot of fun.

December 24th, 2009 at 4:14 pm
Nice work! I rated it well, but I think there are films on here that are a lot more genuine. I like it, but I don’t think it should win.
December 24th, 2009 at 4:21 pm
Hilarious Adam! Great Job!
December 24th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
Sublime. A thin slice of videomatic bliss on a sesame seed bun. Better than cream cheese wontons. Brandon is an instant Oscar fave!
December 24th, 2009 at 5:00 pm
PS- Straw Dog, this is almost as good as my Super 8 epic “Terrain Wars” (1980). Notice I say almost.
December 25th, 2009 at 5:27 am
Fantastic! Honestly i’m amazed. and a little jealous. Love it!
December 25th, 2009 at 2:53 pm
Rock it!
December 26th, 2009 at 1:39 am
Gotta love the old school kung-fu movie style! Never would have expected that from a dude with a poodle…
December 26th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
I give the film five stars, and the person who engineered the voting system one star
December 26th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
Not bad Adam; love the composites - did a good job.
Give me the D5000 slr. I’ll take it off your hands for you.
December 27th, 2009 at 8:11 pm

December 30th, 2009 at 1:47 am
as a highly respected film critic for part of the last decade it’s come to my conclusion this is the most highly decorative piece created.
