The Film Historian’s Take:

While browsing the world wide web the other day I came across this curious trailer from the Comic Book Convention 2009 in San Diego.  Comicon as it is sometimes referred to, brings together a collection of dreamers!  People who see like to take adventures into world’s unknown, wear costumes, and become well aquainted with the entire cannon of their favorite series.  the trailer is a sequel to the 1982 Cult Sci-Fi classic Tron chronicalling;

“A hacker is literally abducted into the world of a computer and forced to participate in gladiatorial games where his only chance of escape is with the help of a heroic security program.” (IMDB)

Well that sounds like quite a mess if you ask me!  I proceeded to watch the trailer and became completely absorbed in the advanced CGI technology and wonderful screen work of Jeff Bridges from K-PAX fame.   I find the dark brooding world inside this computer to be very stimulating.  It harkons back to the great Shakespearean tale Macbeth.  Where in the final act, Macbeth becomes convinced that the trees of the forest are in fact moving towards when really it is a secret ambush! It certainly looks like it’s going to be quite a picture!

Ronin Powride’s actual take:

OHHHHHH FUUUUCCCKKKKKKKK YEEESSSSSSSSSSS.
