They’ve Remade Anaconda in the Best Way Possible
I’d heard rumblings of this Anaconda remake and now we’ve got an actual trailer, which looks pretty cool. Basically, Paul Rudd and Jack Black will get meta as fans of the original Anaconda movie who want to make their own version, only to wind up battling a giant snake themselves. It’s true! Watch the trailer and see!
Fun stuff. I dig it. I like Paul Rudd and Jack Black. The premise is just funny enough to be clever, to a degree. It appears to be a real movie. So this one is definitely now on my radar. I wonder if one of those lead actors came up with the idea for this movie and then just pulled the necessary strings to get it made. Maybe Jack Black knows the right people from his work on the Jumanji sequels.
Anaconda is coming to theaters around Christmas time.

Some Weird Movie Trailers for Wednesday
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.

Jack Black Hangs Out In Legitimate, Real Minecraft Movie Trailer
Look, I enjoyed the Minecraft game as much as the next person. Maybe not as much as kids, but as an adult man, I had a blast playing Minecraft when I got into it a couple of years ago. I only played in survival mode and spent my time building some really interesting things! Like a giant pyramid, a skyscraper complete with floors, windows and stairs that went all the way up to the world ceiling cap, underwater trams and buildings, the Eye of Sauron, a castle and then I finally got bored trying to build a gigantic, color-coded Rubix cube.
Anyway, when people love a thing, Hollywood makes a cheap movie out of it. I’m sure I heard of this existing at some point in the past, well now we have a teaser trailer. Be prepared.
They didn’t even make Jack Black shave his current, real-life beard for this one. He had the same beard in The Mandalorian, right? So that’s gotta be in his contract. If you want Jack Black in your thing, he doesn’t have to change anything about himself. Rock on.
The visuals of the world look neat, but everything else about this movie looks to be as paint-by-the-numbers as a thing can be. Oh boy. But maybe kids will love it? I guess we’ll find out when A Minecraft Movie comes to theaters on April 4.

Tenacious D Rocks Out On This Monday
I’m feeling a tad under the weather today, though I’m holding out hope that I’m not really sick and it’s just a weird day. Still, it’s a Monday, and that means we all need some help getting through it. So how about this Tenacious D cover of the Britney Spears classic Hit Me Baby One More Time!
Did this song appear in Kung Fu Panda 4? I didn’t go see it. I’m sure I’ll watch it someday, but this fourquel didn’t strike me as anything worth bothering with, even though I love all the other Kung Fu Panda movies. Ah well, Jack Black and Kyle Gass rule and that’s all we need to know for this Monday going forward.

A Fun New Tenacious D Music Video
I spent the entirety of my vacation playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, so I am big into video games at the moment. I barely scratched the surface of what that game has to offer, so I’ll be playing it for a long time to come. Can’t wait! And in honor of video games, Tenacious D put out this fun new, animated music video.
It’s Monday, let’s rock out with Tenacious D. The animation is so adorable and well done! And the song is a hoot. So I would say a good time was had by all.
