Movie Criticism is Better Than Politics
It’s Super Tuesday, and that means a whole heck of a lot in the world of American politics. I would rather no deal with that insanity, so instead, let’s poke fun at Monsters University! I mean, what the heck was up with Monsters University?
Seriously, let’s not worry about politics today. If anything, you should go watch John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight. That’s all the politics any of us will ever need. Even if Cinema Sins is pretty good too. They really delved into this one.
You know what my biggest complaint is about Monsters University? It’s that all of the monsters look the same. Other than Mike, Sully and the main characters, all the background monsters are the same kind of rainbow furry and generic. It’s kind of disheartening.

A Bunch of Simpsons Movie References, Most of Which I Never Got as a Kid
The Simpsons is chockful of movie references. Just straight to the very chock. And here’s a fun medley of a bunch of them!
We have Vimeo user cgmzz to thank for putting this together and posting it online. It’s a fun celebration, which is the best way to enjoy The Simpsons. And seeing as how I was a kid during the Golden Age, I’m pretty sure I didn’t understand even half of these at the time!

We’re Getting a New Justice League Cartoon!
The first poster for the new cartoon — Justice League Action — has arrived and been confirmed by Cartoon Network! The new show will be all about action, and will air in 11-minute segments — kind of like Teen Titans Go! .
We do know that Kevin Conroy will be back as Batman, and Mark Hamill will be back as the Joker, so those are pretty cool. And Deidrich Bader, who I will always know best as Oswald from The Drew Carey Show, will be Booster Gold. So we know there will be a rotating cast of heroes, as you can see in the background of the poster there.
No premiere date has been announced or anything else, really. I suppose that’ll be coming. Who’s excited? Who’s dreading a JL version of Teen Titans Go!?

Turns Out There’s a Full Justice League vs. Teen Titans Trailer
So much for that teaser I posted this morning! The full trailer for Justice League vs. Teen Titans is here!
Looks neat, but my comments from this morning stand: I’m just not all that interested. But I know I have a lot of Titans fans who read this blog, so I wanted to share. And now that I think about it, what the heck is up with this Titans lineup?! Starfire? Cyborg? What the heck is DC doing? Their animated universe is based on the comics in that it has Damian as Robin, and they do a lot of comic book stories, with appearances by the Court of Owls and Batwoman. But when they introduce the Teen Titans, they go with the animated Titans?! No Bunker? No Wonder Girl? What is with this odd disparity?
Speaking of animated Titans, I’m currently catching up on Teen Titans Go! That show is hilarious!

Justice League vs. Teen Titans Teaser!
I haven’t watched the DC Comics animated movies in awhile, even though they’ve currently taken up a strong continuity telling the story of Damian Wayne. Well in the next one, he’s going to join the Teen Titans! And it’s going to be Justice League vs. Teen Titans!
Part of me wants to watch these movies, but another part of me already has seen a few, and knows they’re just not very good anymore. But hey, more power to everyone involved!
