Tron: Legacy

It's good to see Tron finally getting its due close to thirty years later.  Today we finally get a new trailer -- it's good stuf.  Apparantly Daft Punk is doing the music, which I say is a good thing and an improvement on Journey - enjoy

Update on Pirates 4

Not that anyone particularly cares about the latest news on the next Pirates installment, but Ian McShane as has reportedly been cast as Blackbeard.  An inspiring choice to be sure alongside the rumor Penelope Cruz and Rob Marshall as director.  Yet, a fail to see the need to keep this franchise going as is.  The films have been quite profitable (though World's End took in a $100 less than Dead Man's Chest), but their must be some fatigue for this franchise.  Rob Marshall will sure bring some needed theatricality to Jack Sparrow's story, but the give plot (looking for the Fountain of Youth) screams of a movie trying to be like Indiana Jones but with pirates.  Also of note is how Johnny Depp continues to thin out his resume by only playing cartoonish characters.  However at least we'll be spared the so-called acting of Orlando Bloom in this latest installment.
