I don't recall hearing about any dog fights during that war.  But I was 
only a preteen at the time and wasn't following the news super close.

I watched:


Justice League Dark (blu-ray) 2017 DC animated movie set in the DCAMU. 
This one was "R" rated.  The movie opens with various people starting to 
see "demons" and violently killing or trying to kill the "demons" in 
response.  This prompts the Justice League to respond and realize the 
people are hallucinating and the "demons" are just regular people.  The 
League theorizes it's magic related.  Batman at first scoffs at the idea 
but but he's possessed by "Deadman" (Nicholas Turturro) who sends him to 
Constantine (Matt Ryan from the live action series).  They began an 
investigation with a team that includes Zatanna, Etrigan the Demon and 
eventually Swamp Thing.  This one was really good.  I also noticed this 
one seem to have a better than usual score.  I don't normally notice the 
score in one of these movies, but this one stood out.


Inside Out 2 (theatrical) New Pixar movie and sequel to 2015's "Inside 
Out" which follows the emotions inside a young girl's head.  The first 
movie had the emotion "Joy" (Amy Poehler) bullying all the other 
emotions until she's forced to come to grips that "Sadness" (Phyllis 
Smith) is a valid and important emotion too.  This movie has the young 
girl hitting puberty and getting new emotions, "Anxiety," "Envy," 
"Ennui," and "Embarrassment."  Anxiety explains the girl needs more 
complex emotions than the original group and Anxiety's job is to plan 
for the future.  Joy isn't ready to give up control of the girl 
prompting Anxiety and the new emotions to bottle and discard the 
original group.  I really liked this movie. The thing I really like 
about Pixar movies is on the surface it might look like it's a kid 
movie, but they are very much also aimed at adults.  There was a line in 
the movie, "I don't know how to stop anxiety.  Maybe that's what happens 
when you grow up, you feel less joy." I think that line is going to hit 
a lot of people hard.
