    ...Hey, it worked for bowling, maybe it'll open up tennis to the ravers.

    OMFG. Day-glow is back? Crap. Just when I thought it was dead, it lives again. Die Day Glow Die! I don't really understand how adding a DJ is supposed to make tennis more accessible and interesting to young people. Does everything have to have a DJ to make it interesting to youngsters? I was just starting to get used to all the shouting and grunting in modern tennis. Maybe tennis needs to be blended with MMA, as a kind of full-contact event, cage-match style. Add some day-glow and a DeeJay, and that, THAT would be something.

    Maybe we should just bring back LA Lights sneakers, but this time, instead of little red LED's, have big ass strobes on the back of each shoe.

    dear Tron fans,

    i have faith in this movie because of:

    a)Jeff Bridges
    b)Steven Lisberger
    c)Bruce Boxleitner
    c)Daft Punk

    oh yeah and im sure IMAX 3D will melt all of our nostalgic faces off.

    I wonder if they rented time from a super computer to create it. That certainly would up the graphics but also be a great homage to the original.

    My inclination is that this will be 2010's Star Trek. I will be disappointed if there isn't a ton of nerd debate over how it ruins the original's lore, or if R2D2 doesn't make a cameo

    @Poop Cooper: But wasn't the whole point of Star Trek '09 to ruin the lore of the entire Star Trek universe?

    Personally I was glad when they blew it all up as I could just picture all the Trekkies at the moment they realized Kirk wasn't going to go back in time to reverse everything bad.

    I'm not sure I've ever pictured a more pathetic look on a person's face. It was delightful.

    @syxtfour: It may not technically undo the prime continuity, but needless to say the entire franchise was completely tossed out in favor of a new one, and I for one am glad for that, because they were really starting to stink.

    I loved Tron as a kid, super awesome flick. However, some things are better left alone. Big executives see an older film that still has a loyal fan base and they try to milk it for everything they can, ruining a classic in the meantime.

    Speed Racer was botched.

    How about a Goonies remake too while we're at it?

    Sometimes, dead is better.

    @otko's pic is missing: I loved the Speed Racer movie. I don't understand the hate for it. The cartoon was terrible and the movie captured its terribleness in a wonderful tongue-in-cheek way. Why did anyone expect a movie based on a terrible cartoon to be terrific?

    @DigitalPasture: I just Googled to get a rough idea on it's value and came-up with na-da. Ditto for eBay -- even the completed auctions. Either it's more rare than I thought, or there is zero market so no one is selling.

    I used to have two production cels, but I foolishly gave one to my brother for Xmas around '85.

    @Dacker: I originally got it maybe 10 years ago in Orlando at a random store. I have a certificate taped to the back. It could be a fake I suppose, but it is old... Old enough to be real and a first run as sold. I don't like taking it out of the tube as I'm afraid it will crack the paper. Realistically I'll probably hold onto it, a couple of hundred at best really isn't worth it to me (unless the new movie is really good and then I might consider selling at high prices).

    @DigitalPasture: Mine is not a paper print; it's a 10"x20" black-on-clear transparency, I think called Kodalith -- a lithography film. It's framed, with silver mylar behind the transparency, which looks real nice with the black image. It depicts a complete scene of Jeff Bridges standing at the "steering bar" of a vehicle (perhaps the tank.) Unlike many production cels, it's a complete scene, not just a portion of the scene.

    I too have a certificate of authenticity. I paid $75 for mine may back when. I doubt I'd sell it for less than $400-500. I wish I could find a few for sale to use as a reference.

    @Dacker: You might just put it on Ebay with a minimum and see what comes of it. I'd wait until just before the new film is being released before listing it though (I say before the new film as we don't know if it's going to be good). Sounds like you have a good cell though, I have a few of other movies and they are crap scenes.

    Having owned all versions of the movie, from VHS, to Laserdisc, to DVD, and all the video games, including the arcade game...I can't help but get excited. I feel foolish and giddy, like it's my first prom or something. So many emotions, that I haven't felt in a long time. I...need to go now.

    @Deckard: I share your giddiness. My LaserDisc comes out for exercise at least twice a year (somehow more satisfying than my DVD), but I don't have a basement shrine like yours, dammit.

    Without Bridges, this thing would never have worked. I wonder what David Warner and Cindy Morgan are doing these days...
