Tron Legacy

[LK]

I can't tell whether I should be offended at the hyper-sexualized females in the trailer or oogle.

Sure, I'd stick my jack into their I/O port and transfer some data, but I hope they're more than eye candy when it hits.

[pxib]

Eye candy meh. The trailer had me as soon as I heard Bruce Boxleitner. I'm also impressed that this movie has not only the bearded, crusty Jeff Bridges... but also a younger, clean-shaven Jeff Bridges. I'll hold back my inner fanboy until a good body of reviews are out in 2011.

[Merusk]

I can google her, but who is Olivia Wilde?

The program on the couch in the second trailer.

!

Holy crap, that is.  She should keep her hair short and dark, very nice.  Not having that hollowed-out cheek look helps a lot, too.

[Lakov_Sanite]

I don't mind that the programs may have more human touches in this, afterall we're to assume that jeff bridges has been living inside the pc for some time, i cannot imagine his not having an affect.

[Slyfeind]

That Olivia Wilde interview kinda starts out with the usual actor crap, "I was excited to be a part of this and career is growing with stuff and blah blah" but towards the middle it actually got kinda interesting.

And she's sweaty. I'll bet Olivia Wilde's sweat smells like cotton candy.

Looks sweet. Really hopeful that the tech to create the young JB isn't too hokey.

Yeah, she seemed genuinely excited about the movie and what they were doing, not just spouting generic pr fluff.

Judging by that quick shot of him - or possibly Clu - on the rising platform, they did a good job.  He doesn't look exactly like the young Jeff Bridges did, but he does still look like a young Jeff Bridges, if that makes any sense.  I'm looking forward to seeing the effect used on Bruce Boxleitner for the Tron appearances.

I'd be worried about the silliness of that air-guitaring nightclub owner guy if I didn't know it was Michael Sheen.  I like just about everything he does.
The new recognizer?   

[Quinton]

The new recognizer?   

I'm really liking how they modernized the visuals yet managed to keep a lot of the feel of the original.

I am seriously loving this. They've nailed the tone and atmosphere so hard. Fantastic bit of score, too.

[Khaldun]

Feeling happy about this one.

Daft Punk soundtrack is delicious.

[Ratman_tf]

I can google her, but who is Olivia Wilde?

I googled her first!

You know how, in the Matrix trilogy, the matrix world is all green-screen, but the real world is all blue and white?

...

TRON IS MORE REAL THAN THE REAL WORLD!

In both The Matrix and Tron films, video game players / hackers are all attractive men while the females are all stunning and dressed in tight-fitting costumes.

Discuss.

[Slyfeind]

Flynn's arcade in the 80's was packed with totally hot chicks, too.

[Tannhauser]

Did the old movie imply Flynn was banging underage girls?  There was a weird scene where the female lead gave Flynn a very strange look up in his loft.  I need to re-watch it.

Or maybe I'm projecting!

Hollywood. The majority of Americans are overweight, yet all the American-based movies almost always have slender actors on screen. Movies = beautiful people ~ utopia. :D

[slog]

Loved the original Tron.  This one looks terrible.

Yeah, I noticed that too, last time I watched it. Then Cyndy Morgan was like "All his friends are 14 years old!" Creepy guy!

Sir, we're gonna have to revoke your man card.

That said, my god, even when she's not hot, she's hot.

This is a new viral website for Tron Legacy.

[stu]

We get Bill Gates. They get Kevin Flynn.

I didn't even think of this, but I've been casually following along with the ARG (not nearly s closely as other games), and managed to score an awesome little piece of schwag after completing the game http://www.arcadeaid.com/challengingstage/

Well that was fucking humbling.

[Riggswolfe]

How in the heck are you supposed to know all those games? I'm a major arcade gamer and stuff but I know very little of those...

Edit: Oh...duh. Most of those are just symbolic of the game. I was thinking those were literal icons for games.

[Lakov_Sanite]

Many are NOT arcade games. I'm at 30/56 and they have some very new titles in there.

Once I found Halo I clued into that.

[Slyfeind]

That Encom International site is great. Holy crap, Alan Bradley looks totally like a corporate exec, and I don't mean like an actor playing a corporate exec.

EDIT: WHAT! A login???

Edit 2: Oh. I just read the above post. I thought that was something new. K NM!

[Mattemeo]

32 so far. Some of these are pretty esoteric, and I just simply don't have a clue about a few others - like the metal bear thing and the snake soup. Wat.

[EDIT=33, finally worked out missile command. D'oh.]

[EDIT=43 now... god, some of these are just downright mean. I am very annoyed with my brain, right now. I only just noticed Paperboy...]

[Lakov_Sanite]

I think I had to read spoilers for the last six. Some of them are really obscure.

HMMM HE SEEMS ELUSIVE!

[Ironwood]

Wife and I did really well on that quiz, but defender ?  That's an Americanism and fucked both of us right off.

She was even on the right track and said 'debumper' to which I said 'Shut Up.'

Don't I look silly.

Some of them are very heavily Americanised. I would never have got Defender (thanks!), and there were a couple of others I definitely struggled with. Including NBA Jam - I got the Jam part, but NBA was elluding me. I also got a couple with sheer guessing - I've never heard of 'Tiger Heli' in my entire life, and I'm very much NES generation. I'm stuck at 51/56.
