You all know that I generally keep it funny around these parts. Today, however, I decided to feature an independent film done by one of my college friends, Lawrence “LAW” Watford. A Christmas Wish is an excellent short film. One that truly deserves the chance to be seen by as many people as possible. It’s close to 40 minutes long, so I put a link below to the Myspace video page for it, instead of just embedding the film here. Click the title below to watch it:
It’s not your traditional holiday film, although it does have some elements from “It’s A Wonderful Life” mixed in with “A Christmas Carol” and even a little “Groundhog Day” for good measure. It works out, and the result is one of the most original Christmas films you’ll ever see.
As stated before, it’s not a comedy. Since I usually put comedic fare on this page, that should tell you just how much I liked this independent film. Don’t worry…I’ll put something funny in the next paragraph. Before I get to the jokes, I want to once again congratulate Lawrence “LAW” Watford on his accomplishment, and also on the birth of his son.
Now…Here are a few Leon quotes from this past weekend, since I have to give you all a little something funny to keep you coming back for more.
“I like John Legend. Dude is talented…but the funny thing is, a friend of mine made me realize that he really sounds like a lounge singer sometimes. He tends to start crooning and trying too hard! Talking ’bout ‘We’re justoooooooooooooorrrrr-di-na-ri-peeeee-poooole’ If his career hadn’t taken off, he’d be singing on a Carnival cruise right now, with a tip jar next to him, opening for Jeffrey Osbourne or something.” – Me on Saturday night.
Yeah, my license is expired, but look at me! I’m an old, broken-down black man! I got 4 GREY HAIRS! Just let me walk around the corner and tell my friends that I tried to stop through the birthday party! You can hold my jacket as collateral!” – Me attempting to bargain with the bouncer at Bedrock Billiards when I was denied entrance because I had my expired licence on me instead of the brand-new one. I probably should have tried using cash instead of a wet, rainy coat.
“Aww don’t try to negotiate now! You already drove me away with your greed. Let this be a lesson to you!” – Me to the lady in the raggedy hat and glove store in City Place shopping center in Silver Spring. I asked the price on some gloves, and then put them back upon hearing her say $8. Once I started leaving, she tried to sell them to me for $5.
“I was hoping for a nipple-slip. That’s why I kept making jokes. I figured the harder you laughed, the more that titty would keep inching towards freedom” – Me to a big-breasted friend of mine whom I saw on Saturday before getting denied entrance to the birthday party.
