‘New Moon’ trailer to be attached with tween wreck ‘Bandslam’

The upcoming trailer for The Twilight Saga: New Moon will be attached to the tween flick Bandslam, opening everywhere on 8/14. I’m assuming that the same people who are into Twilighty goodness are also into Bandslam. On second thought, I don’t think anybody is “into” Bandslam. Hell, it’s my JOB to know about Bandslam and [...]

Tons of concept art from ‘Tron: Legacy’

Check out the handy pics of some concept art from Disney’s Tron: Legacy. While I’m not a huge proponent of concept art because it’s usually akin to staring at Gwyneth Paltrow: okay for a bit but ultimately boring and flat, these pics give a little somethin’ somethin’ to look forward to.
I’m not sure of the [...]
