3 Reasons Why Tron: Legacy Was Awesome Possum

This post is for all the haters out there. Possible Spoilers so read at your own discretion.

1. Olivia Wilde

Not her face, but her hair and mannerisms. OHMAHGAH!!!!!

Her giggle.

Her entrancing stare.

Her kicking of the butts.

Nice.

2. Jeff Bridge's overt use of "man"

I am not nearly nerdy enough to count how many times he says "man", but he says "man" in some serious parts. Like when he's about to get killed and stuff.

3. Tron is all about religion.

If you missed out on all the religious references in the movie, then you are just blinded by something.

Flynn: "I have created a program in my own image."

Flynn: "The conditions were just perfect and the Isoes were created out of nothing."

Castor: "I used to believe in users once."

Flynn: "The thing about perfection is, it's unknowable."

A reference to the "Purge"

I have to say, the original Tron was a bit more about Theism while this Tron Legacy seems to be about evolutionism. But there IS that Jesus Christ figure at the end so, I need to take a deeper look into it.

Anywho, you really cannot have a more evident allusion to religion in a film. Behind the neon lights, the Daft Punk sound track (which is its own reason why Tron: Legacy is awesome possum), and the cool hairstyles, there is a deeper allusion to an argubly deistic/theistic worldview.

So, as a running joke, I always tell my fob friends the same April Fool's Joke. This is how it went this year.

via text.

Richard: I got a girlfriend!

_____

Yoojin: shut up

Richard: :-j)

Seongmin: april fool's?

Richard: :-j)

Seongmin: that was lame

David: ...what???!! who, what, when, where, why, how? (i realize what is a little dissing)

Richard: april fools you naive little fool.

Richard: :-j)

I don't know what that parenthetical phrase means.

The Death of a Great American Hero

R.I.P. my friend.

Today, Jackie Chan of Forgotten Kingdom, First Strike, and whatnot fame died. I am genuinely sad right now. He died at the tender age of (2011 minus 1954) 57, I think. Anywho, a prayer for his family and soul.

Exam: A Film I Watched with UCLA People

Last night, I had a fantastic time. I went to UCLA and we ate Zankou which was good. Then we went over to someone's apartment and watched Exam. The film was a pleasant surprise because I had never heard of it and it turned out to be a pretty entertaining film. But what distinguished this movie night from every other movie night was that they had an informal forum and we actually discussed the film. Most of the people gave some sort of input or other and I actually enjoyed the conversation.

Now I know, these UCLA folk sure know how to watch a movie. Props.

March 17, 2011 - Daisy's Birthday

We had a makeshift Birthday Party for Daisy at Berry Cool.

It was...Berry Cool... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA:

We ate at Pho House with Fefe who hails from New York.

They all wanted a photo with my glasses because they recognize.

Daisy did some things with her face that I did not know the human body was capable of doing.

Then we went to Berry Cool and played Bananagrams. Then afterwards, we started making words describing each other which led to Michelle's ingenious idea...

Game failed so we just decided to write our names out.

The Bananagram flavored Cake.

Cutting the cake.

Daisy's love affair with her cake.

Caked!

Study Session. Not really. But I don't mind.
