Paul Rudd, please don't let me down.

Movie Trailers: Tron Legacy

Usually films come and go in the theaters and I don't get too excited for them. This has got me so excited. I was smiling when I watched the new trailer for Disney's Tron Legacy. It gives us a little more glimpse into what the story will be about. The last trailer was purely made just for the fans of the original Tron. I am glad they are not doing a re-make or a pre-quel but a continuation of the original 20 years later. I am just disappointed that I have to wait until December of this year to see this film. I won't write too much about these movies just watch the trailers.

If you haven't seen the original, I suggest you rent it. Here's a little taste to wet your whistle.





Daft Punk has created the entire score for the movie.

Seriously, Jeff Bridges + Daft Punk = Win

The Bloody Beetroots Death Crew 77 "DOMINO"

Bobby Rifo is at it again with another artistic project. I love music videos that are short films. I also love black and white films. I feel that your mind fills in the colors and the other details. The film was directed by Bennet Piminella, who has been making films for about ten years. His main technique is to work directly on the film. What he does is scratch, paint and alter the film, frame by frame, usually Super8’s that he finds in old attics, in the store-rooms of antique dealers and in second-hand markets. The Bloody Beetroots last artistic project was their 2008 EP Cornelius. This album was a complete art project composed of music, videos, and fashion. 

Winter Vacation Pt 4.5

Saturday we took it easy. Had some breakfast at a deli before heading to the Museum of Modern Art. I would recommend checking out MoMA if you visit NYC. Tim Burton had an exhibit there, but we showed up too late to purchase tickets. We had a great time looking around even though we missed out on the Burton exhibit. Our good friend Kristen Lober is a makeup artist who happened to be down the street at Bryant Park for the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.

She does the makeup for models and celebs and people with too much money. We met up for coffee and got to catch up with her. Apparently Amtrak has been having a lot of issues with their trains running to NYC. Her train's engine died and they had to get another one. While she was waiting on the train for a new engine to show up, there was no electricity or heat. Our friend Scott had a similar problem where his train CAUGHT ON FIRE. He missed the show he was supposed to attend in NYC. I don't ever think I've heard Scott tweet so angrily in the past year I've known him.

That picture is not of the train that Scott was on. I just used it to be a little dramatic. For dinner we decided to eat at the restaurant in the hotel. It was recommended to me by a previous co-worker who frequented New York just for the dining experience. Serena and I ate a 5 course meal at Gordon Ramsay's Maze. Amazing. This was the best meal we have had this year. I highly recommend Maze, its definitely worth it. We went to bed early to catch the 7 AM bus out of Chinatown.
