I've just learned of the existence of this city, Neuf-Brisach, on the French-German border which constrains itself within a star fort to this day.
I approve.

That's just awesome.

Also Josq I've posted something about Shildon in the life on rail thread, which is differently awesome.

Josephus makes more sense than you

 

That you'd be interested in a RUSH tour rather then Josq.

Tron: Ares

A departure from the previous two, specially TTron Legacy almost ignored, yet with some Tron fan-service. It targets people who have not seen the previous two says the script writer. I believe him. 

Disney wants a new franchise to milk it, a sequel more than alluded in the post-credits.

Technically, this is top-notch, CGI does not bother me for a movie such as Tron. However, given there is much more real world than grid this time, it may be more visible. Plenty of night shots though to compensate.

Did Jared Leto killed another cult movie? 

So nothing special, hence the hyping on chat shows all over the place?

Interesting guys, I did know but there were automatic train protection systems inthe 1900s.

Also something for Josq:

The voltage for the first English electric railways was 600-650 volt DC, buin 1913 the North Eastern Railway adopted 1,500 DC with overhead wiring for moving the 1,400-ton mineral trains from Shildon to Newport on Teeside.
