The Students & Faculty of Monsters University Get Their I.D. Cards

Monsters University is the upcoming prequel from Pixar to their classic Monsters Inc. In the new film we take a look back to where best friend monsters Mike & Sully first became acquainted with each other... college of course!!! I really like the idea that is being put forth in this sequel and it is great to see where this friendship began and what their relationship is built on. I am also looking forward to seeing some familiar faces from the grown up monsters of the first movie back in their college days as well... and how great will it be to see the Monster staff & faculty? It will all unfold on June 21st, but to hold you over check out some cool I.D. cards after the jump....

Surprisingly, Mikey did not get an I.D. card. But they did release this character poster:

CCD Links It Up Vol #9

Whether you are sitting at work today during this rainy day in Gotham or are somewhere else around the globe, you need something to read. What better than CCD Links It Up? You know I got you guys.... click after the jump for today's set of fantastic stories to pass the day...



1) /Film has news that Disney has just stepped their game up even more by creating an actual '.edu' website for it's fictional 'Monster's University'... this is insane because '.edu' URLs are usually saved for real educational institutions, and this site sure does paint the picture of a real school.... except for all the monsters walking around.

2) So it seems like the short list for Ms. Marvel in the upcoming crop of Marvel Movies (Guardians of the Galaxy, Cap 2, Thor 2, Avengers 2) is down to two choices.... Ruth Wilson or Emily Blunt. While most people know who Blunt is (God damn she is sexy as hell), not everyone knows Wilson (who was fucking fantastic in the BBC series Luther). I am rooting for Wilson....

3) Nerd up your eyewear selection with the new series of Star Wars themed glasses. 5 characters are tapped for thsi first series, and in my opinion Boba Fett takes the cake as the best character design!

4) Stephanie Tejada is fucking fantastically sexy... don't take my word for it, just check out her sick gallery of hotness over at BeerMug Sports...

5) Bottleneck Galleries in Brooklyn is hosting a zombie themed art show right now thru October 28th. The show sounds awesome and this is the perfect time of year to host such an event, so I know I will be heading over there... how about you? 

'I'd Buy That...As a Tee!' Vol 27

Always on the look out for inspiring art... emblazoned across the chest of humanity. Here's some of the t-shirts I have my eye on to do just the trick but, there's only one problem....they aren't for sale yet! Please click the links below to the Threadless.com voting pages for each and give these beauties '5' ratings so I can throw 'em on my charge card one day.

**Please click READ MORE below..for Mo' Tees...Mo' Tees....Mo' Tees!**

'Return of the Living Dead' has got the evolution (de-evolution ?) of man down to a science. It's as simple as putting 1 foot in front of the other!

'Ninja Attack' excellent art style + Ninjas....need I say more?

'Le Petit Plombier' mashes up the world's favoritest little video game plumber with the world's most beloved little prince....to my delight!

My little China girl says ...sshhh oh baby, just shut your pretty mouth in this 'Kokeshi Doll Tee' 

Boo! 'The Neverending Story' mashes up the Pixar classic 'Monster's Inc.' with one of my childhood favorites, 'The Neverending Story'. Love a good-monster mash-up!

'Sally Quinn' seems to be infatuated with Linus' Joker in this Peanuts/Gotham mash-up. Why so serious!?

'The Rail-Splitter' suits the 'Great Emancipator' up in a mech robot for some clobberin' time! 

...and 'Arkham Zoo' has all the animals of the Asylum lined up for visitor's to see. I've seen this same bat-idea before but love this new bat-style!

Lock up your 5 year olds, when 'The Purple Dino Raged'! I'm no huge fan of Barney but I love this design and it loves me....we're a happy fam-i-ly!

'Beat 8bit' is another mash-up design I've seen before but never done this well. This one makes me wish the honchos over at the game studios that currently own these 2 licenses get together and make this tile-invasion a reality!

KA-BOOM! Here's a badass design that homages the great action film sequences of yester-year. Close your eyes and you can just picture Cruise, Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Eastwood etc. doing 'The Walk Away' unscathed from this one! 

Finally this week we have yet another tie for my favorites.....

First up, it looks like Disney's opened the vault on another batch of their classic films that were taken off shelves for their usual 8 year hiatus....but this time these have gone rotten, zombie style, in the tee entitled....'Return of the Classics'

And last but, certainly, not least, 'Walk of Shame' kicks Smurfette out of the 3-apple high bed in the morning. That Papa kinda almost has a Quagmire-like grin to him if you ask me. Giggity Giggity! Get right in there, Papa! 

Til next time, tee-ny boppers! Remember to vote!

Days Of Pixar Past by Mike Henderson

Artist Mike Henderson takes one of my all time favorite X-Men stories (Days of Future Past) and mashes it up with Mike Wazowski & Boo from Monsters Inc for the awesome "Days of Pixar Past". Now this is how a mashup should be done. Full sized version after the jump.

Thanks to Jeremy for the tip...

Netflix Streaming Picks of the Week - 7-16-2010

So heres what I been watching all week on Netflix Streaming thru my Wii. I suggest you check these titles out immediately, or pop em in your instant que and get to them when you can!!! Thats the best part about Netflix Streaming... it's there whenever you get to it!!!

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo -

Let me start off by saying that this movie is in Swedish with subtitles... I know I just lost a few of you guys right there. But for those who have stuck around, you are in for a treat. This awesome psychological thriller is right up there with Silence of the Lambs... totally crazy!!! The title actually translates to "Men who hate women" so there are some pretty graphic domestic violence scenes, and the film explores some really dark themes. Noomi Rapace provides an amazing performance as Lisbeth Sadler, the tortured girl who plays the title character. Try to catch this one  before the American remake comes out... or read the book, which I'm sure was awesome. There is also two additional sequels in the "Millenium" trilogy. Enjoy kids...

Step Brothers - 

This is why I love Netflix Streaming... they mix in some a ton of new titles with the older ones in the library. I watched this movie last night, and its better everytime you watch it. John C Reilly and Will Ferrell are perfect in every way. I personally love the uncomfortable scenes between John C Reilly and Kathryn Hahn, especially when they are having sex... hysterical. Plus, Reilly and Ferrell are perfect together... if you want to laugh, watch this puppy!!!

Monsters Inc.

  

Perfect. Pixar. Movie.... nothing else to say. If you haven't seen this yet, get it done. There really isn't a better kid/cartoon movie out there. A perfect voice cast, spectacular graphics, and a great story... make it happen, captain!!!

So, what are you guys watching??? Any suggestions for us... please leave them in the comments section below!!! Thanks.
