This is the new leaked Comic-con footage of Disney’s new Tron sequel, Tr2n - due for release some time in 2010.

The footage is very poor, but you can see enough to realize that Jeff Bridges is back for the sequel (huge relief), and the visual effects looks stunning. The light cycles look amazing.

I’m a huge fan of the reality show, Cops, and rather than walk the streets of New York in the 95′F heat taking photos, I decided to stay indoors and watch some mindless television.

I’m sat here watching the 3:30pm episode on G4, and there’s an incident involving the Mexican/American border, a bridge, and an altercation between two rivals gangs. Anyway, some fighting and pistol whipping ensues, and some Mexican kids are arrested and placed in the back of various squad cars. One of the arresting officers approaches a witness and the conversation goes as follows:

Cop: “did you see what happened here?”

Witness: “yeah man, these guys over on the bridge came bustin’ through a line of girls that was with us, one pulled out a gun.”

Cop: “can you describe the individual with the gun?”

Witness: “yeah man, this guy was tall, real tall.”

Cop: “how tall would you say this individual was.”

Witness: “man he was like five eight, five nine.”

You couldn’t make this shit up if you tried.

Kicking It is a documentary narrated by actor Colin Farrell, which showcases the lives of six remarkable homeless men from the far reaches of the world that all possess one unique talent - they’re incredible soccer players.

It’s heartwarming to see six homeless people achieving their dream of playing in a World Cup soccer event - six homeless people off the street is six less, which makes me feel all good inside.

I couldn’t help but post this - can’t wait to see their next performance.  The crowd had such a great time!

 

  The term “sweded” comes from a reference made in the movie “Be Kind Rewind”, starring Jack Black and Mos Def.

Quick premise - Jack Black is a nuclear activist, Mos Def a failing VHS rental store clerk. Jack is electrocuted at a power plant during an attempted sabotage, is asked to watch over the store one day, his magnetized body (from the accident) erases all the VHS tapes in the store - ridiculous, but it’s the set up for the rest of the movie - they both decide to remake each movie they lost on their own using their own video camera, and cheap special effects. They call the process “sweding”, touting the movies as having come from Sweden as an excuse for higher rental fees and longer wait times. Hence the term “sweding”, or “sweded” is born.

There have been some pretty good sweded movies around the internet lately, including a great sweded Star Wars, but my favorite is the sweded Tron above. I love how they used the original soundtrack from the movie and implemented it perfectly into their own sweded version. Genius. Here’s a movie clip of the original lightcycle scene from original Tron film.
