No, but let's just say you might get to take a long vacation to an undisclosed location where they serve a lot of Moon Pie.

Related: I love how you can get kitschy sci-fi tropes by putting qualifiers like "moon" and "space" in front of ordinary nouns.

So excited for Tron: Legacy. And so excited for the villain:



Look at CLU 2.0 over there on the left. He's caught my attention since the first trailer. I hope he has a noble, if not too ethically pragmatic, dream in mind; he's already so cool.

From my understanding, Clu 2.0 is a tyrant. He is afraid of change and originality; imagination and everything outside of the realm of status quo are viewed as villains and vileness. He was tasked by Flynn to guard the Grid, but look his leadership/guardian role too far, too idealistic. He takes action with the voice of purity and preservation, but Flynn knows that it is a faulted vision Clu 2.0 clings to.

I am so excited. I won't get to go until Friday night, but it's going to be awesome!

In other words, he's a Templar?

He's a serious perfectionist and a bit of a megalomaniac. Z should really dig it. ;-)


Also, I know he's Clu 2.0, but in the movie, they just refer to him as Clu. Like, everybody.

And one thing I will give away while not giving things away: The "isos" are ISOs. Took me two days to figure that out.

XD The dude's got dreams, he's without regrets and pretty awesome. But frankly, he's still a loser. As much as I liked Clu the character still disappointed me. The actor playing him was still magnificent and agile despite his age. :D

But goddang... Tron?! No!! @_@"

Anywhos, there'll be an animated series following the movie in 2011, set as prequel to "Tron: Legacy" and a sequel to the original Tron 1982 film.

What, before or after Tron: Betrayal and Tron: Evolution?

No idea. XDDD I never played Tron: Evolution (thought it was a game based on the original Tron) and I heard "Betrayal" for the first time now. *googles*

P.S.: I know she's way older than me but GODDANG, Olivia Wilde's hawt!

Okay, so I ranted about the hateful things about Mumbai, but that's not to say I never loved anything about it.  :lol:



Saw the Gateway of India (built for King George V) for the fist time, and snapped pictures of the statues of the Legendary-Badass Chhatrapati Shivaji and Swami Vivekanand nearby. The boat rides were fucking awesome! Agreed, the view wasn't perfect because of the fog, but this was truly my first time on a steamer and the wind on my face made me feel alive. Saw some seagulls, Indian-English ships and sea-bases/companies, islands, floating shoes and wallets, etc. When we reached the Elephanta Islands, on the other hand, we were disappointed.  :( It was Monday; the caves were usually closed. Dang! I really wanted to sketch somethin awesome there!

Do you put any of your sketches up on the Compendium? I admit I haven't been terribly active here lately, and could easily have missed them. Put up a link, if you care and if there is indeed such a repository.

Like I said, I couldn't sketch much since the Elephanta caves were closed for Monday and my folks were all in a rush (I hate sketching in a rush). Still, I have done a few drafts while on the move. I'll post em once I finish detailing.  :D
