300 Million for a new "Tron" movie? What else do I get with that?

The middle of an article from the Vancouver Sun contains this ditty: "Vancouver post-production units are salivating at the prospects presented by the Disney remake of Tron, which carries a whopping $300 million budget and opportunities aplenty for effects and digital polish." If Avatar's big price tag was a typo, I can only assume this is as well. It's the only thing that makes sense!

I mean, the original looks cool, and features Jeff Bridges. But come on. Are there THAT many people who will even recognize the name?

Nicolas Cage watches The Wicker Man

He can't have ever really watched this movie, right? It's excruciating for me to watch, and I was utterly uninvolved with the production. I can't imagine how it would feel to see YOURSELF up there on the big screen, punching old ladies wearing bear suits.

This site has changed the way I look at the Internet. Not boners, though. I still try not to look directly at those, if I can help it.

A man faces an arson charge after telling authorities he wasn't thinking when he decided to use gasoline for cleaning up his apartment, and then tossed a lit cigarette into a pile of gas-soaked cushions and clothes.
