Dome Pondering Movie Review: Monsters University (2013)

What is it about?
The prequel to Monsters Inc., which explains the backstory and relationship of Mike and Sully during their time at college - Monsters University.
Who is in it?
Billy Crystal - Mike Wazowski
John Goodman - James "Sully" Sullivan

Favorite Scene:
After joining a fraternity, Oozma Kappa, made up of a band of misfits, Mike and Sully make their way to the basement for their initiation which doesn't end up happening as planned.
Favorite Quote:
Don: I don't want you to think of me as your new dad. After all, we're fraternity brothers first.
Squishy: This is so weird.
Don: Just think of me as your big brother that's marrying your mother. Wait, hold on, we're brothers who share the same mom slash wife.
Review:
I really enjoyed Monsters Inc. There was a special and unique plot line to the movie that made it fun, enjoyable, and overly entertaining. While Monsters University, a sequel that is really a prequel to the original, is still enjoyable, it pales in comparison to the original film.
With the ending of the original film, you can tell why Pixar decided to go with a film occurring before Mike and Sully changed the "Scaring" game into that of laughter and enjoyment for children in the "Human World". Regardless of the plot hurdle, this film isn't that bad, unfortunately, just not as good.
While it misses the bar, the interesting dynamics of monsters, their college life, and the subtle quirks and one-liners make for a light, easy, and enjoyable watch.
Not a film that should be a top-of-the-list demand, but worth a watch if you want to pass an hour-and-half of time.
Grade: 2/5

Would You Rather: Questions 121-130

This edition of "Would You Rather" is credited to the NBA Would You Rather NBA Account on Instagram ( See Here ). Adding to the fun, this edition (and possibly future ones) are all NBA basketball questions.  121. Who would you rather have on your favorite NBA team - Giannis Antetokounpo or James Harden?  Seeing how I'm a lifelong suffering Knicks fan, the thought of any of these guys in blue and orange is hard to believe. With that said, I'm taking the Greek Freak for this reason - I enjoy watching him play a bit more. Nothing against Harden who is amazing as well, but at times, the ball sticks and that isn't always fun. Plus, I feel like we haven't yet seen a finished Giannis. 122. Would you rather have Giannis Antetokounpo with no driving ability or James Harden with no Three-Point shooting ability?  This is definitely a weird and unique one, but I'll take Harden. Giannis without his strength doesn't offer much. However, if Harden's d...

Sunday Sundown Rundown - 6/7/26

The Sunday Sundown Rundown (formerly in the format of "3 Up and 3 Down") is where I share thoughts on three topics that piqued my interest, along with my favorite photo from the week. Artificial Intelligence in K-12 This week, I had the opportunity to talk to two dads who work in K-12 education. One is a teacher, and the other is a tech engineer who provides the digital infrastructure for a school district. What I came away with was that artificial intelligence was being slowly integrated into teachers' everyday lives, with some restrictions. However, the tech engineer gave me real insight (with real-time laptop evidence) of some of the tools being built to automate everything from bus schedules and communications to medical visits and disciplinary processes.  All of that to say, just when you think you understand the power of A.I., there are so many levels to it all .  So many...

Knicks Postseason 2026, NBA Finals vs. San Antonio Spurs

Part of me is in disbelief that we are here...the other part is raging and ready to go. Four more wins! Let's. GO! So much of this NBA Finals feels poetic, historical, and dream-worthy, for so many reasons, to so many different parties. This includes the NBA office. I'm sure they are loving this matchup for their biggest stage.  While defeating the Spurs does exercise some demons from 1999, I'm not sure I care about that at all. As noted from my thoughts in the Eastern Conference Finals, at this point, just win. Review Thoughts from Round 1 Review Thoughts from Round 2 Review Thoughts from Eastern Conference Finals Just. Win.  I don't care who the opponent is. The narrative that comes with it, or how we do it.  Just. Win. The NBA Cup win seems like whiteboard material for them, yet a serving example for us to match up with them. Again, it doesn't matter. Both teams are completely different beasts since November, through growth and experience.  This all comes down to...
