Video: Cheech & Chong "Tron for it"

If you haven’t been watching Mean Mag’s Cinemash series then you’re doing it wrong. Cheech and Chong + Tron = Amazing. Kind of NSFW and don’t watch with the kids. Thanks for reminding me about this, KLash! → Read More

Disney reveals plot and title for new Tron movie

A sequel for cult movie Tron was rumored to be in preparation for years now, and today Walt Disney Pictures has finally revealed a few tidbits of information about the reboot of the “virtual reality film”. It will simply be called Tron (and not Tron 2, Tron 2.0 or “Tr2n”) and we’ll be able to see some footage very soon.

Disney said they will show a 3D clip from the movie during the Comic-Con in… → Read More

Need more Pogue in your life? The Pogue-o-matic should fix that

If you’ve ever wanted to have a tiny David Pogue on your desktop, advising you on the implications of sensor size or carrier choice, now is your chance. Somewhat less cute than a desktop pet but considerably more knowledgeable, Pogue comes to you in living color and motion via this little tool at the NYT website. If it works for you, that is — I can’t seem to make the man… → Read More

Tron Guy is a PC

I could have done without the ‘behind the scenes’ type photos of Jay Maynard and his junk, but his impression of everyone’s initial reaction to his costume makes up for it. What a nerd. The description from the YouTube page is as follows: Without the networks and communities created by the PC, the world might never have even heard of the “Tron Guy” or internet… → Read More

Tron actually happened

This is a fantastic story. You remember how in Tron, the players force a computer light cycle into a wall, then escape through the hole to get at the rest of the system? Well, this guy recreated that event inadvertently with his own IIGS version of Tron. I don’t know if any of you will find this funny, but I can’t spoil the surprise. This is a seriously good story. → Read More

Video: Tron's lightcycle game gets sweded, and it's sweet

I enjoyed Be Kind Rewind for the most part but thought the editing was a little messy, making for a sloppy ending. But by far the best part was the “sweded” films. I could watch a movie of nothing but films sweded by Mos Def and Jack Black and be a happy, happy boy. Take, for example, this amazingly well pulled off sweded version of the lightcycle scene in Tron. The executed one of the… → Read More

Tron Coming to Xbox Live Arcade

Tron is 25 years young and Disney Interactive Studios is doing the younglings of my generation a great service by re-releasing Tron and Discs of Tron for Xbox Live Arcade. Excuse me while I go and change my underpants because this is awesome news! I’ll finally be able to derezz Sark, hopefully. I couldn’t as a kid because I was, like, a year old at the time. I’ve been reliving the good ole… → Read More

The All-Time Five Greatest In-Movie Video Games

Hollywood and video games have an interesting history. Long before it became standard procedure to turn every movie into a video game and every video game into a movie, the game’s place in film was more of an object of mystery, fear, and curiosity then a mere marketing tie-in. In film, the ability to control pixels tapped into our fears of a machine-dominated future and our dreams of being… → Read More
