Comic Books Tron 2 at Comic-Con: Jeff Bridges and Co. Throw a Party — Then Guillermo Del Toro Crashes It

July 23, 2010 - 11:49 am

I’m at Comic-Con for one movie and one movie only, and that’s Tron: Legacy, dammit. It’s been 30 years coming already, but the mere 2 since they screened that infectiously bad-ass trailer have been the most tortuous of all and, in fact, the director is still working on post-production (they had everyone in the audience get involved in a very Spartacus way, read on).

Coachella might be known as one of the world’s finest rock festivals, but since it’s inception all the way back in 1999, the event’s promoters put as much focus on LA rave culture as they did catering to the alternative nation (now called the indie rock masses). From Daft Punk to Kraftwerk, many of Coachella’s greatest moments over the years have come from electronic music titans. Here’s a collection of sets from artists playing this year’s festival. The perfect collection of beats to get you warmed up for the desert.

From the fashion side, limited edition presses of their apparel were on sale to grab up for all the trend setters to take back to their boroughs of the city and dawn on Tuesday.
