"I Expected More..."

tronBy Christopher Hawes

Movie Review - When TRON (released in theaters in 1982, and as an 8 year old my dad took me to see it) came out on VHS, I think I saw it 5 or 10 times. I thought the movie was so cool.

I saw that a sequel, TRON: Legacy, was coming out and I was pumped to go see it.

I went to eBay and they were starting around 25 bucks and going up from there. I decided not to buy a copy of the original.

And sometimes the movies, or mini-series, and the books on which they were based, seem perfectly aligned, each as good as the other. This sublime experience typically requires that the screenwriter demonstrate an absolute reverence for the original material. To me, "The Cider House Rules," "Lonesome Dove" and "Pillars of the Earth," are perfect examples of great books that were transformed into equally great movies...

chadGoing Off Course - Decorated triathlete / duathlete / intrepid climber of things / mild-mannered guy Chad Millner is a civil engineer.

Does anyone who is not a civil engineer really know what a civil engineer does? Our best guess is that a civil engineer is a polite person who either designs stuff or drives a train. We suspect that Chad Millner is a courteous train driver.

Why? ....
