At a tender age, this kitten has learned that you can jump from a height, like a tree, tree and survive. I wish my Sundae could figure that out. (Thanks, WTM!)

An Honest Trailer for The Nightmare Before Christmas
Get ready for Screen Junkies to ruin your childhood with an Honest Trailer for the 1993 Tim Burton movie The Nightmare Before Christmas. They say they are doing this for Halloween, but isn’t it supposed to be a Christmas movie? I have my suspicions that this trailer contains things that aren’t really in the movie. Or was it really a Hot Topic ad? (via Tastefully Offensive)

Brandy
You know the song, but you didn't expect it to be performed by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. This was recorded in 2004 at the Rock Am Ring Festival Nürburg, Germany. (via Laughing Squid)
The Move
The Omeleto short film The Move is supposedly about a couple taking the grand step in their relationship of moving in together. Kate and Todd are excited about finding a roomy apartment they can afford. But the place is a little strange, or let's say, very strange. Maybe that's why it's affordable. What they find provokes shock, fear, and possibilities. You have to wonder what happened to the previous tenants. The viewer is intrigued by an anomaly in the fabric of space and time, and we expect to get a resolution or an explanation, or even a grand adventure. But that's not what this is about at all. The Move was written and directed by Erick Kissak and stars Dustin Milligan from Schitt's Creek and Amanda Crew from Silicon Valley. (via Kottke)
Mashup: "Hallelujah" and "Baby Got Back"
The Leonard Cohen song "Hallelujah" has been around since 1984, but reached global notoriety when it was featured in the 2001 film Shrek. It's been used in quite a few films since then. The tune is beautiful, but the lyrics are somewhat of an an enigma, mixing biblical and sexual themes. Besides, there are many versions of those lyrics, as Cohen took five years to write them.
But Dustin Ballard, also known as There I Ruined It, took away all the ambiguity of Cohen's song by just substituting the lyrics of "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot. Poetry is poetry, after all, and in this mashup, there's no question of what the song is about.
