    Meltdown - A sadistic short featuring the voice talent of David Cross (among others.) “Last night’s leftovers battle for their lives.”

    Harry Knowles’ Neckbeard - Good on the AICN founder for continuing to lose the weight - I wish the man nothing but great health and a long life of living down his legendary Godzilla review. That being said, shave that shite already.

    • Link Blowout #70

      Tron 3 Already In Motion - This is news? Disney hasn’t had an original-property live-action film with this much buzz since the first Tron in 1982.

      “Real 3D” vs. “Fake 3D”: Should Studios Advertise the Distinction? - In short: Yes, of course. But they won’t.

      Anton Yelchin Lands Lead Role in Fright Night Remake - In other news: OMG They Are Remaking Fright Night?!

      Microsoft Says Halo Movie Will Happen “When the Time is Right” - You mean, like, when the game was hot, and Peter Jackson and Neil Blomkamp were involved, and you know, people gave a shite? The time wasn’t right then?

      Trailer: Dinner for Schmucks - I’m about this close to being officially “over” both Carell and Rudd, but this looks better than Date Night, so there’s that.

      HitFix.com Launches New “Motion/Captured” Podcast - Drew “Moriarty” McWeeny of long-time AICN fame hosts his first podcast. Sadly, no “back-in-the-day” stories within, yet - but the show is young. If he could just get Harry in front of a mic with him it would be like a wet dream-cast for late-90’s/early 00’s online film-nerds.

      Lists of the Day

    • Tron Sweded - Not your typical movie swede, a shot-for-shot remake of the classic light-cycle scene from 1982’s TRON using plenty of construction paper, cardboard, and scotch tape ingenuity. It’s a bit old, but full of awesome, and new to me.

    • Link Blowout #67

      Anna Faris is Private Benjamin - Finally, a remake casting I can get behind.

      Eastern Promises 2 Moving Forward - The unlikely sequel starts shooting in June with David Cronenberg and Viggo Mortenson returning. I can’t wait. [via filmjunk]

      Video: TronoRail - More video of Walt Disney World’s Tron themed monorail trains than one could ever want.

      Trailer: The Expendables - Starring Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Randy Couture, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and a shite-ton of gunplay and explosions. This can’t possibly go wrong.

      E*Trade Babies Coming To The Big-Screen - Um, no. Unless Lindsay Lohan voices one of the chatty little tikes. Then, yes.

    • Tron 1982 Trailer Remix - The original gets a modern-day re-edit. I love the original Tron, but man is it slow at times. I think I’ll just watch this trailer from now on instead of the full film. [via screenrant]

    • Tron -vs- Saul Bass - The intro credits to Tron, with a vintage Saul Bass twist, as reimagined by Vimeo user Heaxagonal.

    • shirtoid: Enemy Grid available at 80sTees Love this shirt, hate the “Tron” logo below the foot. Why add the logo? There are some films that have such iconic imagery that a logo is not only unnecessary, it somehow takes the idea of wearing this in public from “possibly cool” to “incredibly cheesy.”
