Spider-Man has always been a New York City kind of hero, so it makes sense (or “spider sense”) that our favorite web-slinger would be all over Broadway. “Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark” is ready to take the Broadway stage later this year. With music by U2’s Bono and The Edge, this should pump a whole lot of radio-active energy into the theatre.

5) Better cameras. The 3-D in Tron Legacy will be amazing. Tron legacy was shot with the new generation of fusion cameras, updated versions of the ones used to shoot Avatar. And unlike some other movies that tried to ride on the success of Avatar by taking 2-D footage and trying to later render it 3-D with unimpressive graphics, Tron Legacy, like Avatar, has been shot in 3-D from the start. Using James Cameron’s techniques with better cameras should yield some amazing results.
4) Better storyline. Unlike Avatar, Tron Legacy won’t be a sci-fi version of Dances with Wolves, or a live action Ferngully. This story, about a son searching for his lost father, should prove much more original then Avatar. Don’t worry it’s also not a remake (or “re-imagining” as the Hollywood exec’s call it) of the first Tron. It is an actual sequel that takes place in real time, over 20 years after the first, and even though it’s a sequel the film makers say it can stand alone and you don’t need to have seen the first Tron to understand or enjoy this one. But I say watch the first one anyway, just cause it’s still cool after all these years.
3) Music by Daft Punk!!! Yeah, that’s right, Daft Punk is doing the musical score. Do I need to say it “One More Time?”, or can I just continue to say how the music will make Tron Legacy “Harder Better Faster Stronger?” (If you didn’t get those Daft Punk references, do yourself a favor and look into their music. No need to thank me.) Sorry Avatar, but your soundtrack reminds me of eating at the Rainforest Café. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but it just doesn’t inspire me to shake my tail feathers if you know what I mean.
2) Light Cycles!!! The iconic Light Cycles are back and are going to look so awesome in 3-D! Who didn’t wish they had their own Light Cycle after seeing the first Tron? Avatar had nothing even close to being “Light Cycle cool”. Let’s face it; the robotic suits in Avatar were pretty cool, but they were cooler when we first saw Ripley use them in Aliens.
1) Dude… it stars “The Dude”! Sure, Avatar did a good job with its casting. Choosing sci-fi goddess Sigourney Weaver to be in Avatar was a great move, but Tron Legacy has “The Dude”. Academy award winner Jeff Bridges is back as Kevin Flynn. He did such a great job in the first Tron, that it will be cool to see him take on the character again now that he is an even more developed actor. The huge Tron fan-base is pumped to see Jeff take the lead again. He is going to help make Tron Legacy the best 3-D movie we have ever seen!
Def Con 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada is a convention where computer lovers of all aspects come to enjoy this one time a year event. The word “Hacker” and people who call themselves this would call Def Con their element of environment. This was a realm I heard of because of John Draper AKA “Captain Crunch”, Duel D Flip Floppy, and the king Hacker himself Kevin Mitnick just to name a few. I entered this realm on odd form. I had Duel D showed me the ropes and get me to understand it in a short amount of time. He introduced me to people who had Pseudonyms such as “Chazebot”,” Salem”,”Duel Core” and others with out such as Hank from Kore Logic security. There was a game room a venders room and a lot of track rooms talking about different subjects.
The thing that caught my eye was these rectangle red boxes that had a black Shuriken. Only few people had them. I found out there was a group of elite computer technology wizards that called themselves the Ninja’s!!! I was like that stuff is real about pirates and ninja’s? Inside this box was a little computer with an image of a ninja. I must say it was pretty awsome. To have this thing was really my top priority for the Con since I myself love ninja’s and on some scale am one!!! To have this also meant you had an entry to the Ninja Party!! So yes, computer people party to!! Not all of them are Hyped up on Dr.Pepper,Moutain Dew, Jolt, and Cigaretts. Needless to say it took me a day to recover since I never had stayed up for more than 32 hours before with out caffeine.
here are some pictures!!!

Just a little of what there is to see at at Def Con. Who is there and what goes on. A place for the computer programer or people that can make nothing into some thing with there minds looking at a screen that would look like numbers and words to others but to them it’s a world they are creating.
