Those from my generation will remember Tron, one of the first big production films to really explore the use of CGI. That was of course, in 1982 and both movie making and CGI have come a long, long way.

But no matter how far we travel, there’s always room for another sequel and if you’re a sci-fi fan, then this just might be your day.

First previewed at the Comic-Con, this is Tron Legacy, the sequel to our 1982 classic, set to be released nationwide on December 17, 2010. Jeff Bridges is back in this take two as the missing Kevin Flynn, who’s been living in the digital gladiator world for the last 25 years. His son, Sam Flynn (played by Garrett Hedlund) is a 27-year old tech junkie who decides to look for his long-lost dad. After getting sucked into the same cyber world, he finds his missing father and the two decide its time to make their way across the deadly digital terrain.

As Season 2 of HBO’s True Blood draws ever closer to its finale, you feel the tension building among its fans as they ponder the never-ending list of plot questions still left to be answered:

• Will Sam ever be free of Maryann? And how do you kill something that’s immortal?
• Is the God Who Comes actually going to show?
• Will Jason really start using his brain on a regular basis?
• Will Andy Bellefleur ever get sober? Will he be as entertaining if he does?
• Is Tara really cured or is her demon possession just in remission?
• Will Maxine Fortenberry break Bill’s Wii?
• Will Terry and Arlene stay together after their demons have been exercised? And just out of curiosity, who’s watching Arlene’s kids?
• Can HBO possibly make Eric look any sexier?
• Can Jessica and Hoyt work around the hymen that won’t die?
• When did Lafayette get so.. um.. deliciously macho?
• Will Sookie keep dreaming about Eric?
• Will Eric start dreaming about Sookie?
• What will Bill do when he discovers all this dreaming going on?
• Will Alan Ball stick with the books long enough to give us the shower scene?

And then there’s the question asked most of all:

What the hell am I going to do until 2010?

Twitter is down… again… right in the middle of a very clever tweet, Twitter has apparently crashed, replying to my “send” with a “Internal Error” message…

Which means my cleverness will go unseen… my tweet will go unread and worst of all…I have no excuse not to work… aack!

If you’ve been watching True Blood (and who hasn’t?!), then you know that Alan Ball and his team of brilliant writers are upping the ante as we near the end of season two.

We’ve watched Sookie (Anna Paquin) and Bill’s (Stephen Moyer) romance blossom into something deeper and stronger… it even has hints of a normal, human relationship more often than not with the exception of Bill’s fangs in the bedroom… but hey, who am I to turn my nose up at a little kink? You never know until you try it

According to a post on Yahoo!, True Blood stars Anna Paquin (Sookie Stackhouse) and Stephen Moyer (Bill Compton) have officially become engaged.

The couple has been dating since the beginning of the HBO series (2008). Paquin, 27, is most known (other than as Sookie, of course) for her role as Rogue in the blockbuster movie, X-Men although she won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress at the age of 11 for her role as Flora in The Piano.

Moyer, 39, is an English actor with a long list of acting credits including Restraint, 88 Minutes and numerous television appearances.

The news was confirmed by Moyer’s agent to TVGuide.com but no details were released and no word on a date.

Hmmm… does that mean i can have Eric Northman all to myself then?
