"TRON: Legacy" released 2010

The long-awaited sequel to Tron, TRON: Legacy, was released December 17, 2010.  I enjoyed Tron and I was not disappointed by its sequel.  Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner reprise their roles as Kevin Flynn and Alan Bradley, respectively.  

Although it opened to mixed reviews, it was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Sound Editing.  It won two Saturn Awards:  Best Production Design and Jeff Bridges won for Best Actor.

Daft Punk, the French duo who composed the score, won an Austin Film Critics Association award for Best Original Score. 

Happy birthday, Captain Marvel!

Jackson Bostwick, born October 23, 1943 in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, is best known for his portrayal of Captain Marvel from DC Comics on the Saturday morning TV show Shazam!.  He played Captain Marvel for the first season and two episodes into the second season, when he was fired by the producers.  He was late for filming one day, due to getting treatment for injuries he obtained during the previous day's filming, but the producers thought he was holding out for more money and fired him.  

He also appeared in Tron.

"Tron" released 1982

It may not have received the best reviews, but true to the Disney spirit, it took us to some place we hadn't been before.  Where The Black Hole took us...well... into a black hole, Tron took us into a computer, using computer graphics, which were ground-breaking at the time.  Nowadays, those special effects seem lame but back then, they were awesome!  Even now, it's great to look back and watch young Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner!
