The Sunday Times had a chat with Mr. Lucas where he discussed the The Clone Wars, and the next Indiana Jones installment was mentioned.

Here's the most important part:

"If I can come up with another idea that they like, we'll do another. Really, with the last one, Steven wasn't that enthusiastic. I was trying to persuade him. But now Steve is more amenable to doing another one. Yet we still have the issues about the direction we'd like to take. I'm in the future; Steven's in the past. He's trying to drag it back to the way they were, I'm trying to push it to a whole different place. So, still we have a sort of tension. This recent one came out of that. It's kind of a hybrid of our own two ideas, so we'll see where we are able to take the next one."

Yet more evidence — in his own words, even — that he's creatively bankrupt and completely ruining everything he touches now. The big question is, was he always like that? Were his successes flukes? Hmm.

Apparently at ComiCon some Tron 2 — I mean TR2N — footage was suddenly unleashed on an unsuspecting crowd. Up until now all we had were eye-witness descriptions. Now, we have leaked footage for your viewing pleasure. Oh yes.

You know, at first I thought "TR2N? That title sucks.", but then I saw what they did with the font and such… you know what? I like it. Though given that this is a sequel — a "2″ — I suspect this will basically de-canonize TRON 2.0's already damned fine modern update to the TRON universe. Well, it was the most canon continuation we had up until this, at least.

Update.

Fifteen-year-old dies in Manitoba after being buried in hot asphalt

A 15-year-old boy died in a horrific construction accident Friday when he was buried under a mountain of searing-hot asphalt.

The boy, too young to work on construction jobs under Manitoba labour laws, was part of a paving crew working on a parking lot in the Winnipeg bedroom community of Stony Mountain.

"I believe (the truck) dumped off way too much asphalt unexpectedly," said Stony Mountain fire Chief Wallace Drysdale.

"I was one of the first members on scene and we just saw the hair sticking out of this individual. It was extremely hot asphalt. Our crews, when we were digging out, had to shuttle different members in and out in about four-or five-minute intervals because our feet were burning."

Police and labour officials were investigating.

Richard Hill, who lives less than 100 metres from the accident scene, heard the boy screaming and ran over.

"I guess it was the truck driver that said, 'There's a guy buried in here' and I … found a shovel, and me and another guy tried digging him out," Hill said.

It took about 15 minutes to get the boy out. He was pronounced dead at the scene.

"We got to the back of his head and there was no movement," Hill said. "We pretty much knew there wouldn't be any hope because of the heat and the weight of that (asphalt).

"There's no way a person can breathe with asphalt."

Escaped spammer dies in murder-suicide

BENNETT, Colo. - A convicted spammer and his wife, who were being sought after she helped him escape prison, were found slain along with their young daughter Thursday in an apparent murder-suicide, authorities said.A teenage girl was shot in the neck and a baby was found unhurt in a car seat inside the vehicle where the three bodies were found, Arapahoe County undersheriff Mark Campbell said. The relationship between the girl, baby and the escaped convict wasn't immediately clear.

The bodies of "Spam King" Edward "Eddie" Davidson, his wife, and 3-year-old daughter were found in an SUV parked in a farmhouse driveway in a rural part of Bennett, about 25 miles east of Denver. Authorities said Davidson was the apparent gunman.

According to Wikipedia, Davidson walked away from a federal prison 'golf club' (where he was serving 21 months) in Florence on July 20th and found dead on the morning of July 24th.  Assuming he wasn't facing some larger looming pants-shitting death threat that we're not aware of, wow, what an absolute loser in every way, right to the end.

Personally I like my ARG's to be a bit more immersive… having a scoreboard telling me what missing video clips and hidden things still remain to be found, never lets you forget you're playing a game. Sure, it's easier and keeps you from needlessly chasing red herrings, but that's half the fun of a good ARG. ;)

So, this one seems to be geared toward the mainstream viewer with a better attention span. Nothing wrong with that, I guess.

From what I've read, this is a short 5-week ARG that is a kind of prelude to Season 4 that starts January 31st. Supposedly all the information in the game is canon (meaning everything you learn through the game is as good as if it was in an episode).

A pleasant and unexpected start to 2008.
