Welcome to Cinegasm! (Tron Edition)
Hello my internet peoples!
I am pleased to introduce my weekly section here at Semantink.com, “Cinegasm.” I’m stoked that Ben invited me to help contribute to his already amazing blog and website. Semantink Publishing has some awesome things in store this fall, so stay tuned!
So, I’m sure you are all wondering, “What the hell is/are ‘Cinegasms?’” Cinegasm will be my weekly indulgence in the world of cinema and all things rad. I love movies. I’ve been watching awesome movies since I was a fetus. My palette has a wide range, so don’t fret. I’ll be covering new and upcoming films, old films, comic related films, films I think you should see before you die, and an occasional DVD review as well. Over the years I have begun to notice the convergence of art. Everything from graphic design and technology, to toy design and graffiti art. To me, art is art. Comics, movies, video games, etc. are all art to me. Recently, comics and movies have become pretty good friends again. I haven’t seen a surge of comic based movies like this since the 90’s, so attending Comic Con was as good as ever. I grew up a child of the 80’s. I’ve always loved science and computers (I’m the resident MacTard in my circle of friends) so Tron, to me, has always been one of the definitive Sci-Fi films of its time. I know what you’re thinking, “You went to Comic Con? Did you see the Tron Guy?!?”
“Wanna toss my disc of Tron?”
Unfortunately, I did not have the pleasure of being blessed with the presence of Jay Maynard in tight spandex. I actually can’t even say I got the opportunity to see the new trailer for Tron Legacy in 3D. :( Take a look at the classic Tron trailer to reboot your memories of the film:
Now bask in the glory of the logo for the new, Tron Legacy!
Sooo gloooowy…
Luckily, Disney has released the trailer online in glorious and crisp HD. Here’s a quick look at it if you don’t have the bandwith/computer to handle HD (If you do, I highly recommend the HD version.)

P.S. My favorite French Robot DJ’s, Daft Punk, are confirmed to be working on the Tron Legacy soundtrack! Check out the first leaked track:
