Okay, Even I’m Having a Hard Time Caring About This New Tron: Legacy Picture

And you guys know I’m totally-out-of-my-mind gay for Tron, right? Well, a still got released for the upcoming sequel Legacy yesterday, and I got excited until I realized it’s Jeff Bridges just sitting down in his little office/apartment in the computer world, exactly like he’s sitting in in much of the teaser footage released at SDCC. That’s it. Him sitting, and a shot of him sitting that we’d already seen. It took me forever to realize that it’s at least technically a different shot, since Bridges/Flynn now has a disc on his back. But otherwise, it’s totally the same. C’mon, Tron: Legacy. You can do better than that. (Via /Film)
