Not exactly the most busiest of cinema attendances I've ever been too but the first to have two bouncers searching for us before we went in. The two security guys were almost identical twins which was a slight Matrix moment for us. They were strict too, taking away any cameras and demanding mobilephones to be switched off. With a few minutes to go before the film, (I'm guessing) the manager appeared announcing that he would be viewing the film with us as well as the twin security guards to make sure no filming would take place and that we could provide feedback after the showing. He also mentioned that we would see a number of different scenes from the first half of the film. 3D glasses went on, a quick advert for the video game which looked ok then the familiar BBFC certificate. The first scene introduced Flynn's grown-up son, Sam arriving back on his motorbike to his warehouse-like house between two massive bridges. His cute little dog welcomes him and is given a wrap...

Great new trailer for the forthcoming Tron Legacy film. This time we get to see the robot gods, Daft Punk do some 'acting'. They appear to be behind a sort of DJ booth like some sort of power/game operatives. Liking the soundtrack played and can imagine that 'Derezzed' will go down well live. Also, I quite like Michael Sheen (aka Tony Blair / Brian Clough / David Frost ) doing some sort of David Bowie / Ziggy Stardust blonde baddy. Roll on tomorrow evening for the 23 minute preview.

Earlier this week, Disney offered its Tron Legacy Facebook fans a chance to see 23 minutes of the forthcoming film at a number of chosen cinemas. You have to register with the Disney website for marketing purposes but true fans will know its worth it. Thankfully, Brighton Cineworld was one of dozen or so venues and we'll be seeing this next Thursday (28th October). Watch this space for a review. ElecTRONica opening night photos The Facebook fan page also has the photos from the opening of their Disneyland resort area, ElecTRONica which look really cool. The podium dancers and green lasers look great. Wonder if they sell the new Tron suits? IMAX 3D cinema showing I read that the US IMAX cinemas are starting to sell out of the early showings. In a small panic, I've emailed the London IMAX to see when they'll be releasing tickets themselves. Will update you by Twitter/Facebook. Daft Punk played live last night! Found this lovely poster too of the robot gods, Daf...

So last night was the end of waiting for my 15 minutes of fame. I'd been boring friends about my appearance on the final episode of 'How to take stunning pictures' on Channel Five since July. With all the nerves and a slight sick feeling of dread in my stomach, I think I came off okay even if it was weird to see myself. The first bit with Suzi Perry came off well but the shot ended with myself looking a bit narky and possibly a little like Karl Pilkington . That was because Suzi made the blunder of wearing the wrong outfit and us having to film again for the sake of continuity (I might have mentally said for f*sake). The cafe scene had been cut in half as we both had to show a photo we were happy with and one (shown) we were not. The bit cut out was Martin dissing my better photo or rather me challenging him on the content. Couldn't have that banter on TV I can tell you as I almost had Martin 'climb down' from his comment. There was so much filming on the...

Tickets have been booked to see Greg Davies this Saturday at the Brighton Dome . Some people will know him from The Inbetweeners but I'll associate him more with We Are Klang (introduce yourselves to this episode clip on YouTube). Looking forward to this and thought I'd add a preview video. Sadly, for anyone wanting to go, his stand-up, 'Firing Cheeseballs at a Dog' has sold out.  Related articles Greg Davies | Edinburgh comedy review (guardian.co.uk) Greg Davies: Firing Cheeseballs at a Dog, Pleasance Courtyard (independent.co.uk)

After our bike ride yesterday, we treated ourselves to a posh meal at La Fourchette . It must have been the fourth restaurant to book as all were fully booked. I still can't believe that the most useful search keywords to use were 'posh restaurant Brighton'. It started off very well, starters and service all very good but their sea bass was heavily boned. I made the mistake of re-ordering it and it was nearly as bad. Made up for it by having the Pear amandine with vanilla ice cream. Delicious! Sunday should have been another training session especially as the weather kept its promise of being warm. However, the house and garden were a tip so spent some energy tidying and mowing. I also wasted £3.50 of 5 minutes looking around a photography sale at the Racecourse. It was more like a carboot sale of old camera crap. It would have been £10 (a tenner!?) if I'd been there before 10am. For our animation amusement. we saw A Town Called Panic at the Duke of Yorks. If you...

In the spirit of The Gadget Show , creating a challenge out of the long task of cycle training, I combined my new HTC Desire with Google Maps. The route we did today was based on the East Sussex Country Council cycling website and their Off the Cuckoo Trail Easy route using Selmeston as the start and looping a figure of 8 via Hailsham . Basically, I took the route suggested in the Cuckoo Trail leaflet and mapped it on Google Maps then viewed it on the phone. With the GPS navigation, it helped turn at the right place and calculate the real mileage. View Selmeston-Hailsham cycle ride 1 in a larger map The first loop was a little dull with just country roads but at least it was quiet. We stopped for lunch at The Yew Tree pub which was ok. The menu was vast if you want a large cooked meal but very little snack choices. The second part of the ride was a lot more enjoyable as we joined the Cuckoo Trail towards Hailsham, a car free cycle route. Even better was the alternative, shor...

Left Brighton to its disco fascination for Brixton and John Digweed 's big Bedrock 12 party at the O2 Academy. Nice to have a big group of us out though the rain didn't stop all day making it a damp start. Still no big queues to get in. Digweed's first set was quite bland and light but still good. Carl Cox was the sandwich filling between. I was expecting a ploddy techno set but he did have his good moments. He still likes using the microphone which was annoying at times and there were some choppy and poor mixing along the way. The other rooms weren't really worth bothering with and most of the time it was just a case of getting out of the heat and resting from the vibrating levelled dancefloor. Surprisingly, at about 3am the majority wanted to go back to Steve and Sam's so Julian and I carried on. Digweed's second set was a lot better and everything he played was completely new, no previous mix album tracks, no classics either. I could only last another...
