It’s Wednesday. Life is OK. Let’s start today with some pretty far out movie trailers. And by ‘far out’ I mean just plain weird. And by ‘weird’ I mean they’re pretty typical for the sort of movies we get these days.

First up is a full trailer for the Minecraft movie, in which they actually use the meme phrase ‘children yearn for the mines,’ to which I applaud them.

Man, I just don’t know. I enjoyed Minecraft when I played for that one brief period, building all sorts of neato stuff in my private little world. I still like Jack Black. And, honestly, this trailer sold me on the idea of having people from the real world go into Minecraft and use the world just like the game. They can place blocks, use the forge, chop down trees by punching them; it’s just Minecraft with real people! That’s kinda neat.

Minecraft comes to theaters on April 4 next year.

Next up is the live action trailer for How to Train Your Dragon, proving that Disney isn’t the only one who can make live action version of classic animated films.

This looks so bad. This looks so unnecessary. Toothless looks exactly the same. Did the lesson Dreamworks learn from the Disney live action movies is to not deviate at all and just make the exact same movie but in live action? I hated when Disney did that with Lion King. This one does not look appealing at all. But it’s happening, so I’m sharing the trailer.

How to Train Your Dragon comes to theaters on June 13 next year.
