YouTube Filmmakers Present Trailer For 2016: The Movie

YouTube filmmakers Friend Dog Studios present their trailer for the fictional (or not?) film, 2016: The Movie. 

The clip presents the year 2016 as the "scary thriller" that was - complete with celebrity deaths and unexpected election results.

Via Entertainment Weekly:

The clip, which takes the calendar year and turns it into a scary thriller, begins on Dec. 31, 2015, with a happy couple ringing in 2016 with kisses and wishes for a prosperous new year, new home, and ever-growing relationship. But things go wrong fast: “You want know who died today?” asks a creepy voiceover, teasing the terrible events to come.

New York's Tallest Apartment Building

Located in NYC, 432 Park Avenue is the tallest residential building in the Western Hemisphere.

The view from the top penthouse is spectacular and sold at a spectacular price: $95 million.

The purchase also comes with an E ticket - the building sways 4-5 feet in the wind.

Think about that...

Do not try this at home...

This mountain biker is serious. His audio feed makes the ride even more scary.

Python can open doors

Horrified! Oh. Mah. Gawd.

Am I the only one who's nervous watching this?

The videos, which star a 16-foot albino burmese python, was uploaded two years ago by Vimeo user Jenner. However, the snake, named "Julius," is the latest pet to experience Internet fame. 

According to Jenner, when the snake is tired of being in a dark room, "she flips on the light, opens the door and bails."

"This is why we keep doors locked with her around. We don't need her harassing the neighbors," add Jenner in the video description.

Clearly the kids aren't afraid.  So maybe the fear is only mine.

Wingsuit diving between buildings in Rio de Janeiro at 6am

Towleroad shares this amazing video of two men flying between buildings in "wingsuits" like something out of a Batman movie:

Ludovic Woerth and Jokke Sommer dive from gliders into Rio de Janeiro, landing in a park behind the 38-story Ventura Corporate Towers after flying between its double skyscrapers (at the top of the image below).

Wrote Sommer: "Ludovic and I doing a wingsuit flight into Rio de Janeiro. We did not have permission to fly into the city, but to respect the commercial air traffic we did the jump 05:45 in the morning. The first flights arrive at 06:05."

Pretty scary but cool at the same time.

Who's up for it? Want to try it?
