TR2N

TR2N is cleverness for Tron 2. tron 2.0 is a game and apparently too obvious a name given old school software numbering. anyhow a very tiny bootleg of the trailer has leaked. saw the dark knight today, watchmen next spring.

tr2n maybe in 2010? wait isn't 2010 the sequel to 2001. it's weird now living through the years that were used as the "far off future" in movies. august 29, 1997--judgment day, 2001, 2010 is coming up. back 2 the future II & III partially took place in 2015, where's my mattel hover board or my self lacing nikies? the future of mad max will be soon if gas prices keep going up.

i keep waiting for the future depicted in the jetsons. pod apartments in the sky. puttering little domed skycars. rosie keeping george in line. jobs that involve just pushing one button. maybe on a rough day 5 or 6 times. jane! jane! get me off this crazy thing.

so far the future isn't what it was cracked up to be. no time travel, no space travel outside of the lunar orbit. no global thermo nuclear war. no hover cars. no mutant zombies. no warp drive. no matrix.

just faster computers, cell phones, global networking, rising fuel/energy costs, and the fall of communism (well there is still china, cuba and north korea).

i'm looking at you hollywood, i feel ripped off! i want my holodeck future and i want it now!
