Happy St. Patrick’s Day: “Leprechaun in the Hood” trailer

How’d this miss wining an Oscar?

Try to keep your calendar straight this Valentine’s Day

An Interview with Cupid

It’s not an easy job…

“What Child is this, Anyway?” by Sufjan Stevens

Fan produced video.  Sufjan really makes this his own song with this rendition.

“Secret Santa”-You’ve never seen Santa kick so much butt.

Santa as a secret agent out to save the world….he gets the job done, only he doesn’t play by the rules.

“I swore an oath to deliver presents to the good boys and girls of this planet on Christmas Eve….I never said I was a saint.”

Happy Festivus! Your guide to understanding a wonderful holiday.

I’ve got a lot of grievances to air this year, too….

Christmas sweaters: why won’t they just DIE?!?!?

I’m baffled by the Christmas sweater tradition.  They’re hideous, yet popular.  Is it a generational thing?  Ethnicity?  Do women lose their sense of fashion once they hit menopause?  One of my new favorite blogs, Catastrophe, published a collection of these handmade-horrors.  Check out the full collection here.

“Rare Exports 2-Safety Instructions”-possibly cooler than the first film

We brought you Rare Exports yesterday, detailing the true story of how Father Christmases, or Santa Clauses as they’re commonly known in the U.S., come to be captured and trained. Now witness the very dire consequences of what happens when ignorant people do not respect the power and fury of Father Christmas.  Not for the faint of heart.

“Rare Exports”-the coolest short film about hunting Santa you will EVER SEE.

This is a very high quality short. Great concept, and finely executed. If you have kids around that still believe Santa is a jovial fat man, I’d suggest not letting them watch this.  Partial nudity of a wild man.
