Look at what we got here. Just received my very own Encom Group 7 Clearance badge in the mail, complete with my gorgeous mug shot. If you have been following the Tron Legacy viral marketing, you’d notice that they have been using sites and games to have us join the revolution. The last viral marketing showcased a puzzle game involving you to guess the game. You can check out the link and answers on my Tron Legacy image post. The badge came inside a package from Flynn Lives along with a message.

Dear “Encom employee”

I’ve been cranking out these

“I finally got my kids excited about what I’m doing.”
Michael Massimino – Repair Astronaut for the Hubble Space Telescope – talking about the Hubble 3D trailer that was shown before his screening of Avatar.

Let me get this out of the way, Hubble 3D was a better Imax 3D experience than Avatar (even though I loved it). And it has Leonardo DiCaprio narrating to boot. But with a name like Hubble 3D I feel this will deter the non-geeky folks from seeing this. But that’s why I’m here to tell you that you’ll love this experience. It’s time to bring …

Ask me a few years ago what I thought of the–at the time–new animated series The Batman and I would have said it was terrible, or maybe to a lesser extent that it was all right. Ask me today and I’ll reply with regret and some comments on how good it really is.

The Batman has really grown on me, not only do I appreciate the cartoon itself so much more than I had when it first came on, but I also love the action figures.

The Batman is based mostly upon the blockbuster live-action movie Batman Begins. It starts …

Charming, energetic and amusing, Bandslam is one of the best surprises in some time. After an abbreviated theatrical run over the summer and some terrible marketing, this little gem arrives unheralded onto DVD. Easily one of the most overlooked and underrated movies of 2009, Bandslam should have no problems finding its tween and teen audience on DVD, but the movie isn’t just for them, it’s for anyone who wants a well-written movie about the power of music from the John Hughes school of filmmaking. Some of the twists are predictable, the movie is a tad overlong, and the issues raised are …
