I ride around town on my road-racing bicycle

Because I like to get things done in a timely fashion, I've finished posting my photos from this year's TD Bank Philadelphia International Cycling Championship over here.

Arsenal victorious

Arsenal might have had a brutal loss to Tottenham yesterday, but it will always win this commercial for EA's FIFA 11, if you know what I mean.

The above is the Euro version of the long-form commercial, a slightly different cut than the U.S. version. I guess the U.S. audience was deemed too sensitive to view the BetClic sponsorship on the Juventus uniforms.

Good to see my boy Mesut Ozil, playing for Germany here, getting some props. And funny to see Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech without his trademark noggin protector — I actually missed him the first few times I watched it.

The commercial was directed by Johnny Green for Wieden + Kennedy, Amsterdam.

If the McGlynns can keep from passing out by 9:30 p.m. (I kid, but not really), I may be checking this game out with Tim soon.

Better off bad

I'm fairly certain Tron: Legacy is going to be pretty cool anyway, but I wish the sequel would have Jeff Bridges' Flynn be a bad guy as implied in the original Comic-Con teaser posted above.

That's the implication I took from it, anyway. Having seen the subsequent trailers and TV spots that lay out more of the overall story, the teaser views as simply ambiguous. I had taken it as implying the bearded Flynn was now some corrupted/master controller who had his avatar riding around killing trouble makers.

Seems more interesting than the straight forward story it looks like we're going to get. Maybe my idea will be similar to the background on how we end up at the start of Legacy. We'll see.

I guess Bridges does end up playing a baddie though, even if it's a CGI'd version of his younger face (at least, that's what I think they did).
