Those of you who have a dog know how excited and hyper they get during playtime. This is especially true if the game in question has anything to do with objects that they can fetch. Whenever I take my dogs to the park and bring a ball, they practically knock me over while jumping up and trying to grab it out of my hand. At least I’m able to keep standing, though — unlike this poor kid. googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display(‘VN_PG_DCBP_ATF’); }); While enjoying a nice family game of baseball, this little boy pulled off an awesome hit and began running around the bases as fast as he could. But as he was about to reach home plate, his pup sprinted toward him like a bat out of hell. That’s gotta hurt.

Universal Pictures released the first trailer for 47 Ronin on Wednesday, starring Keanu Reeves as “The One” — but in a very different setting. In the clip, viewers get a glimpse of Reeves as an outcast, slave and wild samurai warrior. The bearded, blade-wielding protagonist dodges fire face-first and goes head-to-head with a dragon (of sorts). 47 Ronin is based on an 18th-century tale of clan warfare and revenge surrounding a band of 47 loyal samurais, who are seeking vengeance after the murder of their master. The movie, directed by Carl Rinsch, also stars Hiroyuki Sanada and Tadanobu Asano. 47 Ronin premieres on Dec. 25. Watch the trailer above to see Reeves in action and let us know what you think in the comments, below.

One of the absolute worst parts about driving or taking public transportation is getting caught in rush hour. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost lost it after getting stuck in slow-moving traffic. However, I’m well-aware that it could get much, much worse in different places — especially Japan. Referring to Tokyo subway passengers as sardines wouldn’t be any stretch of the imagination, because they pack themselves so tightly in the trains that the doors sometimes won’t even close. This would be a nightmare for anyone with claustrophobia. Read More: This Is How They Get Everyone On The Subway In Japan…And It’s Crazy Well, that definitely puts things in perspective.

Ugh, surviving a full day at your job is so difficult. The boredom of double-clicking an Excel doc sends you looking for something more exciting to do. You then find yourself in a spiral of checking Instagram or looking up random facts about Mean Girls on IMDB. And like a flash, it’s an hour later and an hour closer to lunch, but you still have those blank cells staring back at you. But at least you don’t have to worry about chasing a perp or molding any young minds. Comedian Clara Morris reflects on her own less-than-stellar work ethic and how the same attitude might hinder other professionals. Take a break from Facebook and learn something useful about job performance.
