"Twitter, the popular micro-blogging service, has turned into a powerful tool in the hands of not only consumers but marketers of all stripes as well. Comcast, Paramount Pictures and a handful of others have all latched on to it as a way to communicate with customers, acting not only as a distribution platform but a conversation hub and customer service hub as well. Some of the biggest names in the social media marketing world are spending serious time brainstorming how to use Twitter for marketing, debating its usefulness and otherwise hashing out a series of best practices for utilizing the service. Media outlets have also turned to Twitter for many of the same reasons. TV Guide, Fox News and even Spout have a presence there to, again, promote their content and, in some cases, even engage in a back-and-forth with readers. But did you know that Darth Vader is twittering? How about Cobra Commander?

"Every week or so you’ll hear about a video game being adapted for the big screen, especially with the gaming industry raking it in hand over fist these days. In the past year alone studios have touted the announcements of deals for game-based movies like World of Warcraft, Halo, and Metal Gear Solid. But what about the movies that already seem like video games? There are a fair share of flicks that feature everything from gimmicky camera styles to plotlines that seem like they were ripped right out of the latest console bestseller and plunked into multiplexes. Check out the list below and watch these video game movies that aren’t video game movies. 1. Elephant (2003): This Gus Van Sant film was inspired by the Columbine school shooters, who were in turn supposedly inspired by video games Doom and Wolfenstein 3D. The movie is made up of extremely long tracking shots, filmed just behind the character the story is currently following. By design, this makes the film look like a thirdp ... "

"Summer movie seasons come and go, but there was something the summer of 1982 ranks amongst the greatest. What made 1982 so special? Well, while your standing in line, waiting for the third recycling Spiderman, Shrek, Pirates or Oceans, think about what you could have been going to your, most likely newly opened, suburban Cineplex. These were the movies of 1982:May 14: Conan the BarbarianMay 21: Road WarriorMay 28: Rocky 3June 4: Poltergeist and/or Star Trek: The Wrath of KhanJune 11: E.T.June 25: Blade Runner and/or The ThingJuly 9: TronJuly 23:

"I didn't actuly expect Tron to be a good movie, but I did think that it could be a fun movie in a cheesy 80's sense. Unfortanley, the movie is cheesy, it's not cheesy enough to be funny, and the film takes itself way too seriously to be much fun. Sure, it looks cool, but the complete banalality plot, dialouge and characters make the movie completley uninteresting after the novelty wears off. The film was the second of the Disney studio's attempt to cash in on the late 70's/early 80's sci-fi craze (The Black Hole was the first). I also have a sneaking suspicion that they were also trying to come up with a new Disney World attraction and decided to test the waters with a movie. In fact, while watchign the film, I thought it might have worked better as an IMAX film or some kind of big formulist art movie instead of its standard action plot. If you havn't seen the movie, pause for a second and think of what the plot is. You're right! An evil business tycoon (David Warner) has stol ... "

"People are starting to say smart things about Speed Racer, sight unseen. The film has been screened for journalists who attended junkets, but those journalists have so far stuck to stuck to the studio’s review embargo––all of the really interesting stuff is being written by bloggers who are basing their critiques solely on promo materials like stills, trailers, and now clips. It’s these seven new clips posted by Colider.com that prompted iO9’s Annalee Newitz to start spouting sci-fi philosophy. “In this scene, where Speed and his pals race through a geometrically-impossible “ice mountain,” it’s clear we’re inside an artificial world where humans and machines have become interchangeable,” she writes. “Watching Speed and his car is "

"TronI remember that episode of The Simpsons where Homer asks if anyone has seen the movie Tron. Everyone denies it except for Wiggum (who actually denies it twice and then confirms it and then retracts again. Oh believe me, it's funny). I'd seen short clips of the movie, but never watched the whole thing.My friend Noah was wild about it though, and when I was visiting him on my vacation last Spring he had me and my other friend Adam watch it. Ok, yeah the effects look pretty horrible by today's standards. Although it does still look totally different from anything anyone would conceive of today probably. I actually kind of like it for it's effects.But the rest of the story is really bad. Really goofy. I'm sure many disagree. But maybe as The Simpsons seems to think, not that many people have seen it anyways. Or they are too embarrassed to admit it.Rating: 6/10 "

"According to Scott Kirsner, today is the 25th anniversary of the release of Tron, the groundbreaking Disney film that served, as Kirsner puts it "as the "shot heard 'round the world" for computer-generated visual effects." Kirsner recently interviewed Tron director Steven Lisberger, who notes that in spite of the innovation Tron represented, at the time Disney compared his film unfavorably to another 1982 release: Tron was nominated for two Academy Awards, in sound and costume design. But it wasn't nominated for Best Visual Effects. "We found out that the statement that was made was that we had cheated when we used computers," [Lisberger] said. [...] Lisberger said that when ET came out a few weeks before Tron, Disney executives told him they wished 'Tron' had turned out more warm and fuzzy... like ET. (ET won the Best Visual Effects Oscar for 1982.) In honor of Tron, feast your eyes on this infamous deleted scene from the film, in which Yori takes Tron back to her "very illeg ... "
