Borrow

[calienteuno]

hahaa!!!

love ittt!!

[giraffepoo]

Great video! A guy's famous lines...I forgot my wallet!

[cherrera7]

Yup, "I forgot my wallet" is a great line to use in real life situations, when you're just too cheap! :) Thanks for watching and enjoying Borrow!

[BereinigtenWelt]

Really good!

[cherrera7]

Thank you so much!

[OneShotProduktions]

Lol this is hilarious! I love it, I like that it has it's own laid-back kinda style but it still shows how bad he wants that DVD back. Very Nice!

[cherrera7]

Right on, man! Thanks for watching and more thanks for liking it!

[lynnedjones]

really really good :-)

[cherrera7]

Thank you!

[rhondaanthonytanner]

[cherrera7]

Thank you so much! :)

[k6yardotcom]

Nice conceptual video. Is sharing a rented video a crime ?

[cherrera7]

As long as you're okay with it, I suppose! :-)

[djbreeduk]

lol very entertaining.

[cherrera7]

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!

[djbreeduk]

thing is im the guy that normally does the borrowing lol i always forget what i borrowed from who,ive now got a wicked cd collection lol

[RetrowareTV]

second time I have seen this and it's still funny good work.

[cherrera7]

Thanks man! Glad you still enjoy it -- I'm just grateful that people watch it once, so it certainly means a lot when some of you guys actually take the time to watch it again!

[coffeefilms]

Excellent work, good on every level with some really funny moments, good job!

[cherrera7]

Thanks for watching, coffeefilms! Your comment is much appreciated!

[skitty59]

i liked it^_^

[cherrera7]

Thanks!

[Glacier2030]

Hehe! This was so worth it! I love this vid! It's funny as hell! Thanks for sending the message to me about this vid! XD!!!

[cherrera7]

Thanks for watching and responding back! Glad you liked it!

[tentativetitle]

Great video! Loved the DVD montage! My favorite part. Nicely cut. Looking forward to the next one.

[cherrera7]

Thank you, kind stranger!

[Featherflow]

Hey! I've been away for a few months but imagine my excitement when i saw that you had uploaded a new movie! woohooooooo :D This was so brilliant. Pure entertainment ... just Excellent and amazing as always. You are such a fantastic film maker!! Do you write these stories also? You just blow me away with your stuff! :)

[cherrera7]

Why, Ms. Flow...it's certainly been a while hasn't it? But it's a great way to see that you are indeed still alive by reading your very positive comment! Thanks for taking the time, Sara.

Oh, and to answer your question, I *do* write the stories and dialogue for these videos. Certainly my least favorite part of the process (in fact I hate it), but nobody else will write them for me! ;-)

[OrangeSparkle]

w. t. f.

:D nice movie; dang.

[cherrera7]

Thanks for posting, Orange. I'm glad you liked it!

[JaddziaDax]

ah amusing XD

[cherrera7]

Thanks for watching, Jaddzia!

[21stCenturyCat]

Apologies once more for missing this. In future feel free to send me a gentle reminder if I somehow miss one of your films because if I don't watch/comment it will not have been intentional.

I really must get my act together and try and make something like this. Hopefully these comments will make up for me neglecting my duties as YT friend/supporter.

Cheers, Steve

[cherrera7]

Thank you, Steve. I just assumed you had nothing nice to say about it and decided not to comment. But I'm glad that it wasn't that at all, because positive or negative, I welcome and appreciate all comments -- especially from good YT friends.

Anyway, I'm glad that you really enjoyed Borrow. And should you decide to add more misery, stress, and depression in your life by making a short narrative, then I'd wish you the best of luck and look forward to watching the finished product.

[21stCenturyCat]

ha ha thanks, I'll try and watch this again in the next week and give some constructive critique but honestly, when I watched this the 1st time the 15 minutes went by in no time at all which has to be a compliment to your filmmaking. This really was great and I look forward to whatever you come up with next but please, if I somehow miss your next film, please send me a gentle reminder ;)

[21stCenturyCat]

4. The cat, was it me or did that cat actually wink!

5. And finally, a lot of that dialogue would not have looked out of place in a Tarantino or Kevin Smith film. They are both filmmaking heroes of mine that from nothing, made something of themselves. They also proved (like you have) that with the minimal to no budget you can make something good.

[SportyMusician]

lol I saw the wink too, lol

[cherrera7]

Yes, the cat blinked. Pure luck on my part to catch it on camera.

You know what they say, talk is cheap, so a dialogue-heavy piece is always the easiest way to go with no money to spend! Again, luck is the reason that Borrow came out decent.

[21stCenturyCat]

Just some of the great moments

1. "that's like when my mother says moist" - great line

2. The whole reference to Saved by The Bell, especially how it fitted in to the ending

3. The flashbacks/voiceover to when he had lent out other DVDs

[21stCenturyCat]

Well firstly I have to apologise, how the hell did I miss this? I was thinking today that surely you must have posted something new and you had and somehow I had missed it so I'm glad that I checked.

Anyway, what did I think of this, in a word "brilliant!" there were so many good touches, so many that I will have to continue this in another comment...

[cherrera7]

Thank you so much! "Brilliant" is a very strong way to describe it, but who am I to argue? ;-)

[RandomFlicks]

I think I forgot to comment this awhile ago when I saw it. Let me just tell you if I did. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and I laughed A LOT. Make more films :)

[cherrera7]

Yes, you were one of the first to comment, actually. But I really appreciate you taking the time to stop by again. It really means a lot to me. And thanks for asking to make more; it's really a matter of schedule and resources, but I'm hoping to start another one soon, although the fact that the majority of my subscribers DIDN'T comment does kill quite a bit of the ol' enthusiasm & drive. Maybe the next one will do better. :-)

[exo0O]

That was just too awesome!

The acting was very good and I just wanted to see more of that!

Oh and it was pretty realistic too!^^

[cherrera7]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it so much!

[VaginaOfDoom]

Hahaha hilarious dialogue. I know exactly what that's like.

[cherrera7]

I think it's safe to say that most of us, when it comes to the inhumane crimes associated with DVD lending, at one time or another have either been a victim and/or perpetrator. Thanks for watching Borrow and enjoying it!

[angelgallardo1]

Great job as always Carlos. Your videos are few of the ones that can I watch to the end without wondering how much time is left for them to be over. awesome job! I got a lot to learn from you.

[cherrera7]

Very nice of you to say that. I understand that 15 minutes is an eternity in YouTube time, and I'm grateful for people like you that take the time to watch *and* comment. And as for your last statement, I think the truth is that *I* still have a lot to learn, period! ;-)

[SwedishDirector]

Cherrera.... you´re awsome

[cherrera7]

Thank you so much for watching and leaving that very kind comment, Robert!

[dirkdunkle]

the part about john hughes in edited brillantly

[cherrera7]

Thanks!

[dirkdunkle]

DIALOGUE, IT FRIGHTENS ME.

[cherrera7]

You and me both, dirk. You and me both.

[OrangeKubrick]

Fantastic! Great cinematography, great dialogue, great humour and overall a great movie. Bravo and very well done!

[cherrera7]

Thank you very much! Your incredibly kind words made me feel...uh..great! ;-)

[oliverthebum]

Whats better than eating lunch, eating lunch and watching a Carlos Herrera film. There all of a high calibre.

Amazingly pointless.

One question though, doy uo 'star' in any of your films?

"Bad Kitty", boom, funny as fuck.

[cherrera7]

Thank you oliver! Very nice of you. 'Amazingly pointless' is pretty much the name of the game with my videos! ;-)

To answer your question, no I don't act in any of my videos. I prefer to concentrate behind the camera. I almost played a role in Break until five minutes before shooting, when I snapped out of it and got my friend Liz to step in.

[msmascare]

That kicked ass mang!

[cherrera7]

Thanks mang...I kill a communist for fun, but for a green card, I gonna carve him up real nice.

My apologies on the Scarface digression. You should know by now never to remotely reference that film (or most films, for that matter) without having me take it five blocks past relevant.

[GetSomeComedy]

Once again cherrera7 delivers the goods. Good job guys and keep up the good work.

[cherrera7]

Thanks! I can only hope to keep up the good work...I've been lucky so far...

[RiverBirch1967]

P.S. This was like an episode of Seinfeld, which is very, very good.

[cherrera7]

That's a very high compliment and I'm definitely flattered by it, although I'm sure the only thing this video and an episode of Seinfeld have in common is that they're both about nothing. :-)

[RiverBirch1967]

ROFLLL!!! It's like me and books. Follow the trail of breadcrumbs.... to completely other subjects. I love it. Did you borrow my "Band of Brothers?" I think you did. You did not borrow my undies, though!!!

[cherrera7]

Re: that last statement...you don't know me well enough to think I WOULDN'T do something like that! ;-)

[RiverBirch1967]

**sneaks around to hide undie drawer**

[09m]

this should FEATURED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RiverBirch1967]

YES!

[cherrera7]

I appreciate that, but to be honest, I'd rather not have THAT much attention. Based on what I've seen, having your video featured can have more bad come out of it than good. I'm happy enough with my friends and subscribers watching.

[21stCenturyCat]

this would never be featured... it was too good!

[comedyjuice]

Dude, well done and good job once again. Loved the dialouge, characters, and the overall movie. Funny how DVD stories like this come up and are true. Good stuff man...seriously.

[cherrera7]

Much appreciated. Thanks for watching!

[dtbh]

hey, i hav to say that ur movie had me laffin all the way through...good work...

[cherrera7]

Thanks dtbh!

[bugs091]

Well, Carlos, I like it. Kind of hard to categorize... sort of like "Seinfeld." But it works.

I do think it could have used more emphasis on sounds, especially in the car and apartment scenes. Random cars honking, doors slamming in the background, that sort of thing.

But great work, nonetheless.

[cherrera7]

I know what you mean about the sound. I guess what little background I mixed in didn't come through on this YouTube version. Well, I just chalk it up as another learning experience, and hopefully I'll soon be able to upgrade from the low-end program my computer came with to something with more to work with than just two sound channels! Thank you very much for watching and for your constructive comments. Oh, and thanks for liking it too!

[justinvargas]

"Have a nice life, motherfucker"... lol

[cherrera7]

Well, I'm glad YOU liked that line. :-)

[philipnewmannz]

that was a really good video ... probably a little long but at least it wasn't boring. Very good indeed.

[cherrera7]

A little long, eh? You should've seen the 24 minute first cut! Aiiieee!!! :-)

Thanks for watching!

[jimmydushku]

You nailed it once again! 5 stars. I always enjoy watching your work.

[cherrera7]

Very much appreciated, jimmy! I always enjoy reading your comments on my work! ;-)

[superlunary]

Such a great vid...funny cos it's true! My friends swipe my cds...

xx

[cherrera7]

I hear ya. And yet we allow this to happen, time and time again, don't we? :-)

Thanks for watching and commenting!

[superlunary]

I can't bear to say no, especially when they give me those eyes...and they say "I'll bring it right back" and I WANT to believe them! I really do... *sobs* back to therapy...

[dayoffproductions]

I really enjoyed the dialouge! Great Short!

[cherrera7]

It's great to read that, since writing the dialogue is actually my least favorite part of making my little movies. In fact, I HATE it! Thanks!

[dayoffproductions]

Which is why I always improv and they never turn out very good... That, and I don't have any extra actors, a cameraman, a microphone, friends or llamas.

[Gigolo8]

WEll done MAte1

[cherrera7]

Thank you Gigolo!

[VioletKitty411]

Well done Carlos :-)

[cherrera7]

Thanks VK! :-)

And here's another one for the road :-)

[guitmartiman]

Hmmm.. It would have been funnier without the foul language.

[cherrera7]

I'm sorry that you feel that way, but I very much appreciate that you took the time to watch and comment. Thanks. :-)

[MomoDelicious]

lol, well done. The whole no hand washing/hand sanitizer bit was hilarious.

[cherrera7]

Thank you Momo! I actually carry hand sanitizer with me for fear of that kind of situation, among others. Well, that and I probably suffer from OCD.

[lukettylwillie]

Awesome job Carlos! Another classic! Loved it, but of course, that's what I was expecting anyway.

[cherrera7]

Much appreciated Luke, you're way too kind. But as I've said before, I have no problem with that at all!

[MetalGod01]

Funniest movie yet.

[cherrera7]

With chapter 3 being the funniest section of the movie. ;-)

[SensualWhirl]

A friend who lends out his DVDs is an idiot indeed -- Albert Schweitzer or Gandhi or one of those guys said that, I think. -SW (No Comment Productions)

[cherrera7]

Making fun of my fake production title, are you? Why I oughta...well, as soon as I think of something I'll let you know. Until then, thanks for watching!

[RandomFlicks]

"he was 51 years old"

"hey man what the fuck!?"

the hand soliliqy was amazing.

Saved by the Bell bits hilarious.

All in all, amazing as always

[cherrera7]

You're too kind -- and you bet your ass that I don't mind that at all. Thanks!

[jeditigg]

Love the movie man, Thanks. Actually, I think I like them all.

[cherrera7]

Right on, Jedi. Thanks!

[Zaranyzerak]

Wow, did you ever hit the proverbial nail on the proverbial head! I rarely, if ever, lend out my DVDs for pretty muhc all ther easons you dramatized.

Favorite bits: the two montages, and the whole final sequence at the "friend of a friend's" place. Great stuff! :)

[cherrera7]

Well, you're the better man -- I never volunteered my DVDs for others to watch, but I've made the mistake of saying Yes when asked, and sure enough some of those examples are from real life. Thanks for watching and enjoying the movie!

[hippyhillbilly]

just AWESOME! Peace, Health & hugs to you & yours

[cherrera7]

Thanks! Likewise to the second part. ;-)

[09m]

You are a great screenwriter, I love you're dialogue. I liked how you took an easy and simple topic, and turned it into something special. You're film was definitely worth the wait. Five stars.

[cherrera7]

Thanks!
