NOOOO! EGG! ON MY ***FACE!!!***

I spent two hours last night composing a list of the three things that happened over the past week which left me feeling very, very depressed as a comics fan. The post, long-ass as it is, remains unfinished. Maybe I'll get back to it if the bad mood hits again. And it might, depending on if anything happens next in regards to the whole debacle with

What happened was that this trailer was simply a proof-of-concept demo that they made to convince Disney that the movie should be made, so yeah, there were gonna be some significant changes between this and the final product.

I'm still mulling over my own thoughts on TRON: Legacy. For one thing, I think I'd like to see it NOT in 3D, because I feel like the dimming of light and colors and the loss of resolution that occurs with 3D made me miss a lot of the visual richness in this film.

It didn't help that de-aged Bridges ... really looked off to me.

Which leads to an unexpected reaction, in which I find myself more impressed by the story than by the visuals. Bridges delivered solid performances in both his roles, but Olivia Wilde was the real standout. I've always had a fetish for alien girls who delight in that which we take for granted, and Quorra was very much that.

Lydia thinks that about 10% of the film at most was actually in 3D. I thought there was more of it, and that it was just really immersible and not in your face. But looking back, I think she might be right. Which would lead me to think that, against all common sense, the film wasn't meant to be 3D from the start.

So yeah, watching it in 2D might actually be the best way to go. I'm curious to see how it'd look in comparison.

De-Aged Bridges, as we've noted earlier, looked PERFECT for Clu. But not for actual Young Flynn. Dear god, if they can bridge the Uncanny Valley gap with the new Arkham City trailer this well...

... then how the hell could they have made young Bridges look so off? I mean, hell, I recall the young Xavier and Magneto effects in X3 to be vastly superior

If I get too far into replying to your other points, I'll wind up doing a full review, but its midnight sneak preview cleared $3.5 million (the same as Avatar) and after I came out of the late afternoon matinee showing, I found a line literally around the block waiting to see this film.

Not surprising, for how much it's been hyped. Let's see how many reports we get of people walking out halfway through, and what kind of drop-offs it gets over the next couple weekends.

I saw it in 2d. It is both visually quite stunning, and a very fun movie over all. But i worry that it might think it's a smarter movie than it actually is. There's some creator vs. creation, the problem with god type of stuff going on in there that... well, it's hard to give a rat's ass about computer programs being mad at humans.

Bridges is awesome, and quorra looks like marisa had a baby with my ex-girlfriend meg. I am happy i spent 11 bucks.

As promised ...

... My full review of TRON Legacy:

[night_train_fm]

I just got back from watching it with friends. I went into it without much baggage, not having seen the original, and for the most part I enjoyed it - Avatar, it certainly wasn't. If this does end up being part two in a trilogy, I'd definitely see the third.

When Flynn mentioned the miracle that happened in the intro, I whispered "Sam's the miracle, calling it now," and was pleasantly surprised by the Isos / Digimon.

Oddity: The fact that the CGI Yogi Bear is in 3D makes me roll my eyes more than anything else in the trailer.
