Great Movies: TRON and TRON Legacy. Science Fiction that takes us inside a computer to a Stunning Fantasy World. Computer Graphics Masterpiece...and... Great Biography: "For the Love of Spock." Movie about Leonard Nimoy. Interviews with everyone from Star Trek, His Family and Friends...and...The Movie "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" was filmed near Crescent City.

The Original TRON was filmed in 1982 when the first computer graphics were possible. Fantastic Special Effects and an Interesting PLOT! Partially filmed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory at the Shiva Nuclear Fusion experiment. The Computer That Sucks Jeff Bridges in is at the LAB... He is sitting at a Terminal and His Body Gets Scanned...

You can see the scene in the above trailer... Right after he says.... "Hey, Hey, Hey... It's The Big Master Control Program Everybody's Been Talking About.."
TRON Movie Set at LLNL Shiva Project Nuclear Fusion

TRON Legacy visits the same world with 2010 Graphics...
The Son goes inside the machine to rescue his father... And Then "The Girl" (Olivia Wilde) asks a Cosmic Question... "What Does The Sun Look Like?" - Think about that for a Moment... YOU CAN'T LOOK AT THE SUN WITHOUT DAMAGING YOUR EYES... therefore you have NEVER  ACTUALLY SEEN THE SUN... Therefore No One Knows What The Sun LOOKS LIKE! Because the Words "LOOKS LIKE" refers to describing something you have seen... Wow, COSMIC

In "Jurrasic Park" , The Young Girl, Ariana Richards Says "This is a Unix system. I know this!" and Then the Movie Shows Screenshots THAT DO NOT LOOK LIKE The UNIX I Studied in College... Obviously a Graphic User Interface... BUT It REALLY WAS a Unix System... a Silicon Graphics workstation... 

and After Silicon Graphics fell on Hard Times they Sold their Office Building to Google... Right Next to the Shoreline Ampetheater in Mountain View, CA... 

Great Biography: "For the Love of Spock." Movie about Leonard Nimoy. Interviews with everyone from Star Trek, His Family and Friends.

Directed by his son Adam Nimoy. An intimate portrait of Father and Son... Made me think about my own Father...

A look behind the scenes at who was Leonard Nimoy and why Star Trek was important. Also a look into the vast quantity of other work he did... Broadway Musicals, Records, TV Shows, Movies, Photography and being a Father to his Son and Daughter.

One thing about Star Trek was that Many Different Races worked together to build a better future... That's a worthy goal today...

Leonard Nimoy acted as an advocate and activist for COPD, frequently posting on social media to educate his followers about COPD and the dangers of smoking. Tobacco killed him in 2015.

I especially like visiting the Redwood Forests of Northern California. The Movie "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" was filmed near Crescent City.


The Ewok Villages and the Forest Moon of Endor. The flying motorcycle scenes were filmed by having the Stedicam Inventor, Garrett Brown walk thru the woods following the path they travel... and then Industrial Light and Magic bluescreened in the Actors and Flying Motorcycles...

On Highway 101 traveling North from Eureka, just past Trinidad, there is a rest stop with a paved footpath that looks just like the movie... A little imagination and you can hear the little teddy bear people singing and playing the drums...

On family day, my brother took us to visit Lawrence Livermore Lab. I remember the Shiva Project.

 It was a Fusion Nuclear Power Plant Prototype. You may have seen it as the movie "TRON" had a few scenes filmed there. It was a fundamentally valid idea but it never created more power than it took to run the machine. They took a drop of "Heavy" Water and focused many giant laser beams on it from all directions. The idea was that the heat would cause the hydrogen to FUSE into helium. Just like it does in the SUN. When they turned on the power the lights of the city of Livermore would dim. Martin worked in Biology at the Lab.

One time Martin took me to a Biology Trade Show in Washington DC at a big Hotel. A BioTech Company from England had invented a single celled animal that TASTED LIKE CHICKEN. We ate some... It was illegal for a BioTech Company to design and grow food in the USA but the laws allowed it in England. Quite like Zymoveal out of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Books. I still believe that it's a good idea. I think it ate oil... Could solve World Hunger.
