It's time to get enrolled in "[url="http://www.mtv.com/movies/movie/453969/moviemain.jhtml"]Monsters University[/url]." Literally.

In anticipation of the upcoming "Monsters, Inc." sequel, Disney has launched an actual university website for "Monsters University." Fans can head over to the [url="%20http://monstersuniversity.com/edu/index.html"]new website[/url] to "excel in the art of extreme creepiness" in the Monsters University School of Scaring, School of Engineering, School of Science, School of Business or School of Liberal Arts & Monstrosities. We'll probably take the latter.



There's plenty more to do on the college website. You can read about admissions rules, social activities happening on campus, upcoming events and, yes, even Greek Life. Though it's pretty clear that this is related to "Monsters University," there's no specific mention of the upcoming Pixar film on the site.

Here's the history of Monsters University, just one of many fun tidbits on the website:

"Established in 1313 following a land grant from the city of Monstropolis, Monsters University has grown from a small local center of learning to a leading global institution of higher education. Upon this hallowed ground, some of the most fabled academic buildings in the world have been built, serving the hundreds of thousands of alumni that have walked the halls and grounds of MU," the site explains.

"Monsters University" acts as a prequel to "Monsters, Inc." and tells the story of Mike Wazowski and James P. "Sulley" Sullivan as they enter college at the University of Fear. Though we know they end up as certified monsters eventually, the road there is a little bit bumpy. The film is due out on June 21, 2013.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
