One of the most pleasant surprises of this year’s Super Bowl commercials was the teaser trailer for Monsters University, which was produced to look just like a cheesy college recruitment video. The prequel (of sorts) to the 2001 hit Monsters, Inc. takes us into the college years of Mike and Sulley, before they were pals. And the latest trailer and clip show us just how much of a crazy, zany frat party that we’re in for. You know, for a kid’s movie.

Mike and Sulley find themselves in rival fraternities, as Mike and the Oozma Kappa nerds face off against Sulley and the Roar Omega Roar in what my own college fraternity experiences lead me to believe will feature an argument that started at a floor hockey game, continued at Pounders for Bladder Bust night and ended in a drunken, bloody mess outside of the Tri Delt house.

Or Tuesday, as we called it.

As I’m sure you’ve heard by now, She’s the Man star Amanda Bynes was arrested last night for reckless endangerment, possession of weed and tampering with evidence after the doorman at her New York City apartment building called the cops on her for smoking the chronic in the lobby. It was reported that the cops found marijuana in her possession when they arrived at the scene, and when she opened the door to her crib, they spotted a bong, which she promptly (allegedly) chucked out the window.

Of course, as she arrived in court today, looking like a Courtney Love mannequin after Courtney Love beat it up for mocking her, Bynes told the judge that the part about throwing a bong out the window is just ridiculous.

I want to preface this post by saying that I think that anyone with any ounce of celebrity status who uses his or her fame for good causes should be commended. Celebrities are very fortunate to be in the positions they’re in and, more often than not, they forget that and end up looking like total a-holes. So when I saw our friends at Hypervocal Tweet about “Hollywood Actress” Vivica A. Fox starring in a public service announcement for something entitled Cool Cat Finds a Gun, I figured it was worth a look.

As it turns out, Cool Cat is the main character in a series of comic books that help teach kids important morals and values, like sportsmanship, not bullying and buying into alternative fuel. But the comic book has since become a live action movie franchise of sorts, as Cool Cat DVDs are now available, and they’ve called upon the star power of actors like Fox, Eric Roberts and Erik Estrada to drive home the valuable lessons to your kids.

In a rare but exciting twist, I actually find myself sympathizing with the subject of today’s Florida Friday installment. Twenty-three year old Natasha Myers was arrested in Wesley Chapel – the Al Bab to Tampa’s Aleppo – after Pasco sheriff’s deputies reviewed security footage from a Publix parking lot and determined that she was the person responsible for vandalizing 63-year old Debra Streets’ silver Kia SUV.

Myers apparently fancied herself a bit of a vigilante when she used her key to draw a giant penis on the hood of Streets’ car after she was allegedly driving like a c-word. But Myers, in a strange display of Floridian manners, then walked into the Publix, asked the clerk for a Post-It note and wrote an explanation as to why Streets now has a big ol’ dong on her hood.

Every time that I see a new trailer, clip or TV spot for This is the End, I become quite worried that I’m going to arrive at the theater to see this meta apocalyptic comedy, with my fancy dungarees pressed and an elegant lady of the night on my arm, and it’s going to suck because it’s just one long inside joke between the guys in Seth Rogen’s and James Franco’s little gang.

But then Craig Robinson shows up, sipping his own piss in a martini glass and that concern is quieted. Anyway, as I posted the new red band clip from This is the End yesterday, it turns out that there were actually two other new clips as well. We’re being spoiled. But it’s not a good spoiled. I mean, just let us see the movie already if you want us to watch it that badly.

Yesterday, a new, low quality trailer for Machete Kills started making the rounds and everyone was all excited because, “OMG LADY GAGA IS IN IT! LADY GAGA IS THE GREATEST!” But Open Road Films took the trailer down almost immediately because the scoundrels posting it on YouTube didn’t have permission. The problem with the leaked trailer is that it wasn’t complete – at least not the versions that are still peppered around YouTube – and it cuts off after the announcer excitedly yells, “ANTONIO! BANDERAS!”

Thanks to TMZ, though, we know that Carlos Estevez’s name would have been yelled also, because he plays the U.S. President and that seems like an important role. Oh, and in case you’re confused, Carlos Estevez is Charlie Sheen. I’m not sure why he chose to use his birth name for this role, but I assume it’s because it’s about a Mexican assassin and he wanted everyone to know that he has a Spanish name, too. “It made more sense when I was hammered last night, bros,” I imagine he explains it.

Enjoy the partial trailer after the jump while it still exists.
