The waiters singing Deck The Halls at the Chinese restaurant in the movie Christmas Story.
Now I know so many people that love this scene so much from that movie. I just showed this clip to a Chinese friend of mine and asked them if they thought it was funny. They said, “No, it’s normal”. They didn’t see the humor in it. They said “That’s what I would sound like if I sang the song”.
So I bet in China they must have some movie clips where Westerners are trying to sing Chinese or something like that. Anyways….I love this scene from the movie.
Merry Christmas 2010!

A collection of some of my strangest conversations with the press, all boiled down to one interview. Yes, I was really asked all of these questions by various arts journalists and audience members. The names and situations have been changed to protect the innocent (me).
MONTREAL — A group of entertainment heavyweights including Cirque du Soleil and Canadian director James Cameron have formed a partnership to produce theatrical 3D projects.
Reel FX and Cirque du Soleil Images are the production partners.
“Shooting with the Cirque du Soleil team has been one of the most enjoyable experiences of my professional life,” Cameron said in the release.
“It’s a unique opportunity for me, and my 3D partner Vince Pace, to bring the Cirque du Soleil experience to a worldwide audience through the magic of 3D cinema.”

Hey kids, it’s Christmas time again. You know what that means. Time to dig out your favorite Christmas Fart CD. May I recommend a Farting Christmas by Santa’s Farting Elves. Yes, I produced this. Yes, I think it’s funny. No, I do not think it is offensive to the Christmas spirit. Ok, that should pre-empt most of the hate mail.
