Or "Welcome Home, Johnny"

I know this has already been linked to all over the place, but it's one of the funniest thing I've seen in quite a while, so I feel I must link to it as well. As you probably already know, it's a mock trailer built from footage of The Shining designed to make the film look like a heartwarming family dramedy. What makes it so funny, for me, is how accurate it is. Apart from the somewhat jarring juxtaposition of 70s film stock and style and modern trailer tropes the marriage is just perfect--this could easily be a real trailer. Brilliant.

Until Whenever
