How to Make a Tron
This 8-minute look at how the special effects in Tron: Legacy were made is supposedly awesome, even for people who didn’t like or see the movie (there are spoilers in there, though, so watch out). I wouldn’t know, because I haven’t been able to watch, because my internet connection is a fucking disgrace and Comcast says everything looks fine on their end, so they refuse to check it out. So… just let me know how it is in the comments, I guess. I’ll watch it in an hour or two, when it finally loads. Thanks to Claudia G. for the tip.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
