Tron Legacy Trailer Released

For some, it's geek nirvana revisited from the early 1980's.

 
Watch the trailer.  It's pretty cool.

"More" by Mark Osborne (revisited)

I was bored enough last night (it's now early the next morning) to be watching the Oscars on TV (apparently "The Hurt Locker" is a movie I need to see) that my mind was drawn back to a short film from the late 1990's called "More". 

If you have not watched this short video yet, you need to do so ASAP.  It is one of, if not the, best short story/film I have ever seen.  To this day, I can watch it and still get goosebumps.  It has no dialogue.  It is simple and to the point, yet every time you watch it, I challenge you not to come away with just a little more than the last time you watched it.  Do so without distractions or a cluttered mind.  If it does not move you, I don't know what would...

Watch it here at this link.  Then share it with those you love, like, or barely know.  It's truly a work of art that should be enjoyed by all.

MOVIE: It's Complicated

If you're a teenage guy, you're very likely not interested in this movie.  It's certainly a "romantic chick-flick" type picture, meant for the 30+ crowd.

That being said, I loved it.  Sure, I'm 42.  Sure, I've got a sappy side.  Sure, I'm divorced.  So perhaps I'm conditioned to be receptive to the story line.  Whatever the case, I thought it was good (and quite funny).

I'd say,  if you're 30+, or divorced with children(?), or are into Romantic Comedies, this movie is a good bet.   I may even go see it again at the cheap-o theater, who knows.

MOVIE: Legion

I went to see Legion at the local "cheap-o" theater.  The storyline wasn't really thought out very well, or even complete.  The basis of it (biblical Armageddon) was poorly scripted in my opinion.  I did enjoy a few vague references that you'd only know if you had ever read Revelation in the bible (such as the horn, and other references), but really.  Angel comes down, rips off his wings, becomes Rambo to save a pregnant woman's bastard child and teach God a lesson of what He wanted versus what He needed...  *yawn*.   It had a couple decent action sequences, but really it was barely worth $3 to see.  It was on par with another recent semi-flop, "Daybreakers".

Clarity?

It's not Life, The Universe, And Everything (that's 42, anyway), but it still helps clarify things for me.  :-P

Driver's License Photos Do Not Lie (unfortunately)

Knowing I had lost some weight was one thing. Getting my new driver's license was quite another. Wow. Scary different from a few years ago...

It's hard to believe that's me.   :-/
