OMYGODOMYGODOMYGOD!!!

Yeah, Star Trek is okay, Star Wars nice and the new Battlestar Galactica will do, ya know, if there's nothing else to do.

TRON 2 is coming!!!!!

OMYGODOMYGODOMYGOD!!!

The 1982 movie Tron had amazing special effects, better than anything else I had seen, including Star Wars.

The Tron arcade game was one of very few I was competent at back when they had arcades. (Ask your parents.)

I loved the light cycles.

One last note before you watch the YouTube teaser below (because I know you didn't just skip the "blah, blah, blah" wordy part and go straight to the video), dear reader, you should know the trials I went through to get you the best video available on the internet, as of this writing.

No, I didn't attend a Comicon.

I got Rickrolled. (Ask your kids.)
