WoW - Wallpaper of the Week - extra
Seriously, TRON 3? The last one was only so-so. But it must have made enough to warrant a sequel, and possibly the start of a new trilogy. I guess if it gives us more Garrett Hedlund (previously featured), it can't be entirely a bad thing. Especially if they can get him in more spandex. Garrett returns here tomorrow, and you can see more of him on Tumblr.

Flashback
Today is Bruce Boxleitner's 60th birthday. He initially attracted my interest as the title character in 1982's TRON, for which a sequel is in the works. That interest was only enhanced by Scarecrow and Mrs. King. He also appeared on Battle of the Network Stars around that time on the CBS team, but before Scarecrow, so I'm not sure what qualified him to be on.
The next decade saw his major return, and how many know him now, as John Sheridan on Babylon 5. He's stayed busy, doing TV and movies and even dabbling in writing. But to many of us, he'll always be TRON or Lee Stetson.

It's Garrett Hedlund's birthday! Who's Garrett Hedlund, you ask? Well, I was looking through lists of celebrity birthdays, to plan future posts, when I ran across his name. Something in the back of my head made me investigate further. Interesting young man. His first major role was in Troy. Then he did Friday Night Lights, which inspired the TV series. I think I remember hearing about him in Four Brothers, b/c Marky Mark was in it. Some may have seen him in Eragon.
Ironically, I've not seen anything he's been in. May have to make a point of it. His chameleonosity is pretty amazing, he hardly looks the same from movie to movie. The hair, the build, that's dedication. I know one movie of his I'll definitely see, though it won't be coming out until next year. It's the Tron sequel. That should be something else, what with special effects advances since the 1982 original.
Gosh, has it been that long? Am I officially old, since I saw it in the theaters, and I wasn't a teenager? Yeesh!
