Text of the page (random words):
fi crossed with a western i was understandably intrigued the one thing that kept me from laughing at the concept was knowing that the only person who could pull it off was joss whedon and pull it off he did an intricately steampunk styled warts and all cosmos populated with a motley assemblage of all too human characters whose quick and acerbic wit punctuated by mandarenglish phrases borne of an imperialistic american chinese alliance and their plucky attitude makes them difficult not to root for what s not to like and leave it to whedon to dare show the outer space pov shots with no sound effects as scientific accuracy would demand the things that make this show awesome don t end there how about the presence of ron glass yeah the guy from barney miller in the cast and the fact that it s got a country song complete with a banjo as its theme for some reason it s taken me until disc 3 to really get into the show but now i can hardly wait to watch the rest of it followed of course with the serenity feature film and probably re watch the whole thing again mind you i m not nearly as in love with it as my beloved star trek and probably never will be but at this rate it s got a real shot at becoming a favorite transmitted by tom q public at 19 58 1 feedbacks classifications dvds firefly 20110118 greetings programs when the movie tron hit theaters back in 1982 my twelve year old self was totally obsessed with it i glommed onto the soundtrack album the storybook the action figures and toys if it had the tron logo on it i begged my parents to buy it for me i even made myself a computer world outfit out of white actually i think it was a light heather grey fleece using a blue marks a lot marker to draw the circuits all over it even topped it with a makeshift helmet that i fashioned from something i now can t remember and of course i had to have an identity disk frisbee to complete the ensemble it was crap compared to the work of art that the tron guy came up with but for me it was just perfect so considering i was so in love with tron as a kid you d think that i d have been first in line camped out for days before even to see the long awaited and recently released sequel tron legacy especially since i d been wondering for years before it was announced what mind blowing things they could do with tron if it were remade nowadays but no i didn t see it until this past weekend a month into its run hey an adult does have more going on in his life than a 12 year old does making getting around to things take a little longer but still shouldn t i have been chomping at the bit more than i was i usually only see one movie maybe two per year on the big screen so by that measure i did go out of my way to see tron legacy as soon as i could i guess what it comes down to is that i was afraid i d be disappointed so many movies nowadays sacrifice the substance of a story for the style of eye popping digital effects assuming that the audience won t notice and as far as the roughly under 20 demographic is concerned their assumption would be correct but it turns out that the writers of tron legacy took the care to provide enough of a story to satisfy those of us who get bored with too much visual razzle dazzle and to give it enough continuity with the original film to satisfy those of us who have been waiting 28 years to see whatever became of kevin flynn and company now i knew before i even set out for the movie theater that i wasn t going to be blown away by the visuals in tron legacy nearly as much as i was by those in the original film after all digital effects were in their infancy back then and no movie audience had ever seen anything like tron before by contrast digital imagery has not only grown by leaps and bounds if it can be conceived it can be put to film but is also so ubiquitous that it s got to be seriously impressive to make a lasting impression on the audience but the makers of tron legacy were smart they knew that as far as the visuals are concerned less is more case in point arguably the biggest light show of the original film the main character s transition from meatspace into cyberspace was understated here shortened from over 60 seconds down to about 2 and consisting only of a comparatively colorless but still kind of trippy 3 d pixelation sort of thing whereas the live action elements of the computer world scenes in the original film were photographed on a blank stage àla green screen with all the digital scenery inserted photographically in post production remember there was no digital film editing back then the actor centric scenes in the virtual world of tron legacy were filmed on actual sets with only the finishing touches the glowing trim of the costumes the digital landscapes etc added in later that adds a certain realness to the scenes that no amount of digital trickery can replicate the same is true of the digitally de aged face of jeff bridges used quite necessarily for the kevin flynn flashbacks and the central presence of his program clu impressive and splendidly done but there s something about the human face that will never be convincingly faked by computers all in all i rather enjoyed tron legacy and i considered it a perfectly fine payoff for the 28 year wait it had a sufficiently substantial story impressive visuals up to and including the studly garrett hedlund himself and enough nostalgia thrown in to make us 80s kids happy there was a journey song playing on the arcade s jukebox journey recorded a song especially for the first movie lines of dialogue from the original film were uttered on a few occasions and seeing good ol bruce boxleitner reprising his role of alan bradley was like seeing a favorite uncle i hadn t seen in 20 years sure it wasn t a perfect movie but kevin flynn wouldn t have it any other way you ve gotta see the movie to get that reference end of line transmitted by tom q public at 16 51 0 feedbacks classifications tron 20101129

star wars 20101117 welcome to the 24th century holy crap holy crap did you know about this i didn t until yesterday holy crap if i d known about this earlier i wouldn t have bought the last dozen or so cds i did buy well not necessarily the last consecutive dozen but a dozen and would have saved up for this instead but i still bought it anyway cause i just gotta have it seriously i honestly don t know how i would be able to go on living without having this in my possession as soon as humanly possible want to know what it is maybe you d better sit down cause i myself had a geek out on a transphasic level when i found out about this it s a limited edition box set of not four not six no not even eight no keep going would you believe a whopping 14 yes fourteen cds jam packed with never before released music from dozens of episodes of star trek the next generation devoted solely to the work of ron jones who traded off scoring duties with dennis mccarthy through the first four seasons of tng star trek the next generation the ron jones project includes nearly every note written and recorded for 42 of the series first 94 episodes the score for the best of both worlds two parter is already available on the gnp crescendo label so just some bonus tracks from it are included here plus numerous outtakes as well as a disc devoted to his work for a pair of trek video games released later the panicked evacuation of the enterprise in 11001001 the tearful farewell of tasha yar in skin of evil the appearance of the romulans in the neutral zone riker s escape from the mintakans in who watches the watchers the terrorist attack on the ship in the high ground lal s tragic demise in the offspring the perilous journey across the arid wasteland in final mission they re all cues that i ve been waiting 20 years to hear unobscured by dialogue and sound effects and now s my chance with this doozy of a package being limited to a production run of just 5 000 i couldn t waste any time in seizing the opportunity to add it to my collection since the price is certain to only start going up on the aftermarket widely regarded as the best composer that star trek the next generation ever had ron jones was known for delivering sweeping attention grabbing feature film worthy scores for countless episodes the problem was that tng s producers didn t want attention grabbing music they wanted the episodes scores to lay quietly in the background so after almost four full years of flying in the face of the producers demands jones was fired and replaced by jay chattaway quite a dandy composer in his own right to give credit where it s due but i always thought the trek producers were not only making their episodes just a bit less memorable by taming down the music but they were also forsaking a perfectly good merchandising outlet fans have been clamoring for ron jones scores to be commercially available for years and i have to wonder how many cd sales they missed out on by missing that opportunity and never licensing retail releases until all these years later if you can t live without it like i couldn t this incomparably amazing trek a thon of music will set you back a healthy 150 plus shipping but at 14 cds that ends up coming out to less than 11 per disc which is a great price especially for something that s a limited edition collectible like this it s available for purchase now at sae and at intrada and further information is available from the film score monthly website and thanks to them for the links to the audio clips a friend of mine has all but

classifications soundtracks star trek 20101114 your friend in time it s hard to believe that it s been a quarter century since marty mcfly hit 88 miles per hour and flux capacitored his way into movie history with back to the future i can remember when i was a teenager much more of a geek than i am now come to think of it and my family and i took a seven week vacation to europe what was one of the few things i can remember taking along with me to keep me company it was a walkman cassette player and along with other tapes at least i hope two cassettes onto which i had recorded the audio portion of the entire back to the future movie i must have listened to those a half dozen times over the course of that vacation i was so bored otherwise needless to say i couldn t go without picking up the brand new 25th anniversary edition of the back to the future trilogy on dvd i can t wait to see all the deleted scenes and new bonus features they ve packed into this set not the least of which is finally long rumored actual footage of eric stoltz in the role of marty and of course there s the neatest extra of all here s my geekiness shining through again digital copies of all three movies which i can load onto my ipod if i want to it s full circle in a way i have to wonder what my younger self armed with mere cassettes of only the movie s sound would think if he could have in the palm of his hand full color video and stereo sound of not just the first movie but of many others not to mention hundreds of albums of music anyway back to the topic at hand this was a groundbreaking movie series in a number of ways one of which being that it was the first one for which more than one sequel was filmed back to back the matrix is the most noteworthy other example and it was also one of the first and certainly the first with such broad appeal to successfully integrate science fiction with comedy to such an extent that the movie can fit neatly into either genre ghostbusters innerspace and men in black picked up on the idea and ran with it part ii definitely laid on the sci fi a bit more strongly what with its frequent and potentially confusing references to paradoxes and hopscotching between time periods and part iii was an almost completely different movie altogether with a decidedly western feel and an almost fully self contained story not to mention a supporting role by the always enjoyable mary steenburgen but then i m probably not telling you anything you don t already know about the best time travel movie ever made suffice to say i love each and every chapter of the adventures of marty and doc i ll probably sit down and watch the first of the three tonight and i m very soon going to secure my digital copies too transmitted by tom q public at 16 58
