Greetings, programs. (I just had to say that.) There’s a reason why I have an entire blog category devoted to the movie TRON. That film blew my young mind. I remember seeing it back in the early 1980’s at Sangertown Square Mall in New Hartford, New York (just a few miles away from Hamilton College),…

Eating a LOT of popcorn in October.
Yes, I am eagerly anticipating the new TRON: Ares movie, the third chapter in the TRON movie franchise. Trust me. I saw the original TRON way back when it first hit cinemas (in my case, it was at the Sangertown Square shopping center in New Hartford, just a few miles away from college). Loved every…
Read MoreHoly crap, is this the new TRON: Ares trailer??
You can have your “machine with a soul” movies like Ghost in the Shell or The Matrix. Or even old episodes of the Saturday morning TV show ReBoot. That’s fine. Enjoy them. But for me, the concept of humans interacting with a world of artificial intelligence has to begin and end with TRON. I saw…

The 1982 movie TRON was a straight-up masterpiece. Between the cutting-edge special effects, the high-concept storyline of religion and technology, and the swirling, perfect soundtrack from Wendy Carlos, TRON was an eye-opening and mind-bending experience. This is where the Matrix should have gone. It took nearly 30 years for a sequel, but in 2010 we…

I do this more than I should. I hold out on getting involved with any new streaming video service, unless there’s something it has that I won’t find anywhere else. Case in point – I signed up for the HBO NOW streaming service because I didn’t want to have to pay for additional bundles from…

The Disney film Tomorrowland didn’t perform as well as Disney would have hoped. Granted, it was a “tentpole” feature, but apparently there weren’t enough campers interested in it. So because of that, the House of Mouse has decided to halt production on its other futuristic movie franchise. No, not the Pirates of the Caribbean film…

I enjoy my motion picture franchises with equal amounts of anticipation and excitement. Trust me when I say that if I had to pick my “Mount Rushmore” of modern film characters, they would include Han Solo, Captain America (Chris Evans version) and Mad Max Rockatansky (Mel Gibson version or the modern Tom Hardy version, whichever…

While we all wait for the third installment of the TRON movie series (yes, there will be a third film), Disney has chosen to whet our appetite by debuting a brand new TRON animated series on their Disney XD cable network channel. First off, here’s a preview of the new series, which will be called…
Read MoreOklahoma church pays tribute to the TRON movie series
Greetings, programs. In the original 1982 motion picture TRON, there is an underlying subplot about the computer programs treating the computer “users” as God-like creators. This was also explored in the 2010 movie TRON: Legacy, albeit at a much more subtle level. Well, an Oklahoma church has converted its lobby, as part of a church…
Read MoreWant some TRON in 2012? Sure you do!
First there was the 1982 classic. Then there was the 2010 sequel. And now… Disney’s got a new TV series, which will be set in a timeline between the two movies. The show will air on Disney’s XD channel, and is scheduled to debut in the summer of 2012. In fact, here’s a trailer for…
