Now It's Tron

Remember the 1982 film Tron? You know, where Jeff Bridges gets sucked into a computer and has to fight evil early-CGI'ed programs to escape? And it's all rotoscoped and glowing and cool and they fight with Frisbees and those ball throwy things and they race those rad light cycles?

Man, I sure do remember all that stuff. I also remember it being, as a kid at least, sort of boring and over my head. But oh, those light cycles. So I was a little confused when I heard that a sequel was in development. I mean, besides this guy, who exactly was clamoring for a sequel to Tron?

Well, after seeing this teaser from Comic-Con, I sure as shootin' am. I first got excited after hearing that Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz (both Lost writers) were the writers, along with the writer/director of the original film. In fact, it got me so excited that I watched Tron again this weekend and dude, it's one of a few films from my adolescence that are actually better than I remember them being. Oh, and here's some Nerd Math for you: Tron + The Invisibles = The Matrix. Yeah, that's right, I'm calling you out, Wachowskis.

So yeah, Tron Legacy (in 3D!) is on the "Looking Forward To It List," along with Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, Iron Man 2 and Toy Story 3. What do you think?

TARDIS Sauce

I've mentioned our family's newfound love for the BBC's newest Doctor Who series featuring everybody's favorite Time Lord. We just finished up season 4 (well, one disc to go) and man, it's some fun stuff. Not always perfect, but an enjoyable romp. And there aren't many things in this world that qualify as romp-worthy these days, so yeah, grab hold of it and don't let go, kid.

So, in honor of the Doctor's radical time-space machine, the TARDIS (it stands for "Time And Relative Dimension In Space"), I came up with this poster that's now in the shop. The gag here is that the Doctor's ship, which looks like a dinky UK police call box, is in reality a massive ship on the inside. So yeah, a certain degree of geekiness is requisite here, but you knew that, right? But hey, it's Comic Con (or as I like to call it, "Nerd's Revenge") week, so may I present to you the newest Tuff Industries poster, "Step Into My TARDIS, Baby":

I'm Back

And I'll be posting more soon. Spent the weekend in Vegas for my sister Haley's wedding and have been having computer issues, but I'm still alive and (relatively) well.

In the meanwhile, busy yourself with this. I scored like 21%, so I'm not a total geek, but I'm still safely within the geek category. Yay for me. Thanks to Shon Feller for alerting me to this. I knew there was a reason I got out of bed this morning.
