[alguerrero]

[MyFaceBurns]

I got a fortune cookie that told me that I had just eaten poison. I was a bit freaked out as I was only eight, but nothing happened.

[SkippyElectrochomp]

[Bassmastajazzyj]

Good idea, awful acting.

[jpickar]

I'll admit it's certainly not worth a People's Choice Award, but I still think my rendition of being drunk was pretty damn good. The rest I could take or leave.

[BitcccchWithTheFace]

[AnimeGuineaPigFreak7]

Where did you get all of those cookies!!! 0.0

[jpickar]

Went into a chinese restaurant and asked if I could buy a box of fortune cookies. $28 for 400.

[SilverStateMan]

Holy shit, really? I love those things. They taste ... so sweet. Yet not too sweet. I'd of grabbed that deal.

[arcano92]

I love at 2:45 he throws them out the window and then instantly it's night time xD

[jpickar]

Hahahaha yea...it was all shot kind of quickly and a bit out of order. Kind of hoped most people wouldn't catch that!

[mammolastan]

funny stuff. Are You Afraid of the Dark-- I mean, fortune cookie?

[jpickar]

Yea, grabbing that music from AYAOTD was a necessity.

[CrazyRockwell]

That's deep man.

[btkusdfs]

the bong make me lol

[WalkerKansasRanger]

Hahaha that was pretty damn good dude!

[tandaman538]

funny vid man smokin a fortune cookie with a bong!!! nice lmao

[BarrattG]

More like F is for Fat.

[jpickar]

I'd say "Zing!", but that's what I said to the dude who made the same joke 3 weeks ago. Scroll down.

[CheeseMoe13]

The Fortune Cookie is not Chinese. It was made in California. If you took one to China, they wouldn't know what it was.

lol

[gmezamer]

Im in fortune cookie hell!!! ROFL

[DarkSaint91]

"Unclean! Unclean! Unclean!" Lol.

[SkiddyMarks]

More like F is for Fat.

[jpickar]

Zing!

[needusername12]

lmao i love that cut scean- Ill trade you this sowrd for it. Fuking Cookies!!!

[jpickar]

Hahaha thanks! I'm a fan of that cut as well.

[TLoZNarutofan]

at 2:46 , I have that poster.

[raedenjay]

so how did you get a box of fortune cookies?1 i want one!

[jpickar]

Actually, all I did was ask my local chinese restaurant if I could buy a gigantic box of fortune cookies from them. Best $25 I ever spent. 400 cookies.

[raedenjay]

haha i've gotten that "talented in many ways" fortune so many times!

[11BWJ]

after he throws the box out the window when he comes bak inside it goes from light to dark....what took him so long to do out there???

[jpickar]

Yea...I'm kinda surprised no one's ever mentioned that before. But here's the deal: we made this movie with a huge time crunch. One weekend is all we had. Unfortunately we didn't get the closing door shot lit until after the sun had gone down...

Or you can consider it a metaphor for the dark pit of despair his life is about to enter.

[11BWJ]

Haha thats cool, I understand the time issue. Thx for the feedback!

[SteveDutzy]

I love the homage to Are You Afraid of the Dark?!

[FigurinItOut]

Hmmmm, I have the feeling the pipe and vodka weren't just movie props....

[sieglines]

what number at the video

[FigurinItOut]

To sieglines: about two-thirds of the way thru.

[jpickar]

They were, actually! One of the other guys in the group brought the bong specifically for that reason, and the vodka was an empty bottle that we filled with water.

Shockingly, I was 100% sober when we took all the stuff of me stumbling around and rambling.

[FigurinItOut]

Hey, nice job then! You really conveyed a great characterization of a hungover college guy!

[CindorDgr]

That was hilarious!

[chieframrod]

what the fuck. wata pile of manure

[optionaldeath]

Wow, That was great

[reecekyle123]

nice one man its good

[thegamer201]

Lol!

[teckforce37]

Nice work man

[shiannaross]

Lol. Wow.

[EatLickSnortFuck]

What is the song used called? Sorry this is really bothering me, haha It was either on Trainspotting or Girl Interrupted. FUCK! :(

[theAtheistAntichrist]

Ah, yes. The fortune cookie and vodka diet. I was on a similar "meal plan" back in college- It consisted of animal crackers, and a plastic jug of cheap whiskey- any brand. When your desperate enough to smoke the cookie, you know you've hit rock bottom. J/k... but not really.

[EatLickSnortFuck]

Who is this hot bearded one with that belly? Gimme some of that! I also enjoyed the short, very hilarious! I like the song used too, They also used it on Girl Interrupted right? BTW you're a god for posting that Snuggie Vid! Its my new obsession! They're all the rage in Paris! :) hahaha

[Helmholz42]

Is that the are you afraid of the dark music?

[chozinn]

Yes. Yes it is.

[umairrrr]

3:29 lmao!

[Religionlessgod666]

Enjoyed it. Good job, man.

5*

[wolvesvane1]

XD add "...in bed" at the end of every fortune. XD makes the video even funnier.

[forloveoffilm]

Was this an adaptation of the great Hubert Selby's 1986 short story "Fortune Cookie"?

[jpickar]

I'm not familiar with that one. Gonna have to look it up.

[forloveoffilm]

It was Darren Arronofsky's student project. I've never seen the whole piece, but have read the story which is in "Song of the Silent Snow."

[chozinn]

Looks like you know your shit. You should have noticed that the title is an allusion to Orson Welles' "F for fake"

[pimpproductionsinc]

lol xD at the cetifacte

[CptSchmidt]

Brian Eno ftw

[TheEstonianGuy]

Blooper, you see a hole where a fortune is placed in when he is at class.

BTW Five *****

Great!

[BatteryEaters]

Good Stuff guys. For Focus Film Festival no less.

Check out some of our sketches for more hilarious stuff from former Queen's students!

[virturalrift]

Fuckin' amazing

[RaineMan213]

LOL at the Alone in the Dark theme

Everyone has that damn black cat poster though.

[BennyBaby]

good vid my man

[XRvd15X]

lol

[BlackGnosis]

first half was very lol, the second half kinda got dry and relied on movie parodies...

[InoIsAwesome]

There are too many funny parts to put in this comment! Anyway this was hilarious 5/5 (I also want some fortune cookies now i don't know why o.o)

[InsaneinShorts123]

omg i thought the woman in the end was going to expoload or soemthing because her foture cookie said the end

[jpickar]

You know what? I never even thought of that...

[molton00]

you could tell the cookies where rigged but its still funny

[RoboticJoe500]

+ buy a watch too with some of that lotto money!!! Lmao!

[RoboticJoe500]

Here's a genius idea, Why did you have yourself read the lotto numbers win a millions of dollars and hire some better actors ohhh re-write the. The End so when it's says THE END. a piano falls from sky crushing you. !!!!

[ShammyShou]

You must have a strange definition of "genius".

[billiard296]

this movie was hilarious keep making more

[itszeebaybee]

you're very adorable.

=]

[gagnorhawkk]

FORTUNE COOKIE HELL!!!

[d3p3ch3mod3]

What was the music cue after the killing spree cookie? Isn't that from Are You Afraid of the Dark that used to be on Nickelodean?

Also think I recognized a little from the Trainspotting soundtrack.

Funny video which is saying a lot for a YouTube comedy.. Most of them have a good premise but have crap acting and writing.

Also awesome that you're a professional advertiser and bothering with YouTube

[jpickar]

Yes, that was in fact the music from "Are you Afraid of the Dark", we had it pop up a few times in the movie. Thanks for the props, and if you enjoyed the video, please feel free to pass it along to your friends or digg it. It's hard to get "short films" viewed on YouTube, especially ones you threw together for a weekend film festival.

[d3p3ch3mod3]

About short films on YT, that's one reason I'm not sure how I feel about anti-copyright and that sort of thing. It's good if you're an artist putting out remixes/tributes/parodies but regardless of the whole business aspect even if you're an artist trying to get their stuff seen for free you have to complete with these guys that are just taking classic movies and putting popular music to them (of which I'm guilty on a couple counts, but it's when people post entire movies that I think is BS)

[kittieftw]

LOL

"thank you.."

[Indrius]

You put in Nautilus Pompilius song, nice one!

[SilentPea]

hahahah

badass bro

[b1lskirnir]

A bit anticlimactic and the jump cuts were a little odd, but overall extremely funny execution of a great concept. I also like how "Czechoslovakian" is tagged.

[jpickar]

Hahahahah. Actually it's "postmodern Czochoslovakian feminist".

Agreed on the jump cuts, we shot it in a weekend so we couldn't get everything necessary, and as for the ending, that last shot is the first thing we filmed. That scene where I go crazy was mostly improv, so we didn't ACTUALLY know where this was going.

But thanks for the nice comments!

[slanderfreefor0days]

haha well, i agree with him. the (ending) was a little anticlimactic and weird, but overall the first half was rather clever. nice work.

[Deloreansyk]

AYAOTD!!! =D

[jpickar]

FTW! Digg?

[JediLiz]

hahaha. the "are you afraid of the dark" music is a nice touch.

[jpickar]

haha thanks!  Lucky i had the first season on my hard drive to rip the music...

[reaperhatch86]

hahaha i noticed that also.

its been around ten years since i heard that.

[davecoolsdf]

those things are considered 'pastries'?

[jpickar]

amybe a loose definition?

[ungus]

Lmfao at 2:20.

Well done for a little student no budget project. I digg it.

[jpickar]

Hey, thanks! Tell your friends, it would be nice to get some people to see this video!

[chromeharris]

Dude, I come from digg and bring good comments... Someone will be following with comments.

[jpickar]

awesome. Hopefully this really gets dugg

[Merrick178]

Haha your facial expressions were funny as hell

Nice vid

[nwaites01]

This must have won.

[jpickar]

It didn't!! The judges had a shitty sense of humor, but it had everony laughing at the screening.

[volando34]

that was pretty kickass, nice, dude!

[XManTMG]

That has to be the greatest thing I have ever seen! Thanks for uploading this.

[SamSycamore]

Man, that was genius. I love it.

[gtochad2]

where did you get a box of fortune cookies :O they taste yummy

[jpickar]

That was the best part! I bought the box from a chinese restaurant, and then this is what we came up with. Hectic day and a half of shooting, you can see all the time differences.

[insaniteh]

That was amazingly good! Great theory and filming, mate!

[jpickar]

Thanks buddy, appreciate it. Definitely fun to make, a lot of the end montage was just improv of me ranting and raving.

[titanz05]

i like the 'are you afriad of the dark' music! anyone else catch that?

[jpickar]

hahaha good catch! That was indeed from Are You Afraid of the Dark!

[EyeFork]

I lol'd when it came to smoking fortune cookies

[jpickar]

Ha, thanks. If you liked it, spread it around. I guess it's a bit too long and slow at the start to go "viral", but what can you really do about that?

[ateam2600hz]

awesome brian eno opening ;D

[garageboy101]

wow, that was extremely well made! by far the best student film i have ever seen!

[jpickar]

Thank you, a group of us made it in a weekend and had no professional lights. We definitely had fun with it though.

[mpeters13]

lol. Brilliant!

[spazchic]

that waz good

[OhhReallyNow]

goddamn fortune cookies.. look what they do to you.

[akalinski91]

haha

that was really good

[jeffbro779]

loved it

[MissBeatle]

haha this is great (:

[phatman808]

Y'know, at first I thought it was going to be another retarded person making a retarded youtube video. As it turns out, it's not a retarded youtube video.

[jpickar]

Hey, thanks. I appreciate that.

[Diablo8410]

you had to be high when you thought of this

[oshuhua]

Please post a link to "Spoons." I searched for just that word but I don't know which of the many "Spoons" links to follow! I liked your video!

[woa12]

IM IN FORTUNE COOKIE HELL!

[jamincortez]

why f is for cookie what is f mean?

[jpickar]

F = Fortune, like a fortune cookie. Also there's this orson welles movie called "F For Fake"

[aiyanachan]

Awesome! Now I feel bad for being such a fortune cookie whore... Though, that last cookie DID tell me I loved chinese food, so I have to obey

[sendako]

I love this film.

[WolfPartyProductions]

Cheeck out this schlocky horror/comedy by one of the directors of F Is For Cookie.

[jpickar]

I apologize ahead of time for my performance in "Spoons."

[transformerian]

If you enjoyed this film then you will most certainly love "Spoons" also starring Jason.

[jpickar]

hahahahahahaha good to hear man. Spread the link around
