Tron Legacy

[Lakov_Sanite]

I'd love to see someone get put into a computer and then get pwned within the first 10secs by some l33t promgram that has been pvping his entire life. Right before your pixels disperse you would get a taste of digital teabagging firsthand.

[Minvaren]

Fuck. Yeah.

Still love to at least see a real light cycle on the street. Probably handle like shit and what-not, but nothing can out-do the cool factor of ripping this down a busy city street about 11pm at night.

Nearly twice the price of a MV Augusta F4RR though.

Where the hell is the Tron 'program' in all of this??
I'm gonna assume he's in there somewhere... just no mention of it in the trailers.

I have been following this on failbook since I fan'd it. Nice teaser trailers and what-not, but this was my question too. Have to wait and see, but since no mention of Tron the program make me think he was destroyed... Maybe Flynn wrote another CLU program which went rogue? no ideas.

For a mild spoiler:
Also, regarding the Sirens, there is a full scene with them where they get Sam "suited up" so he looks like a proper program, which is pretty awesome.

[Furiously]

They should have named the sequel Troff.

[Surlyboi]

I see what you did there.

I got a feeling some young guy was infatuated with Tron, rose through the ranks in Disney, and put himself into a position of power to be able to green light a sequel, at which point he made sure it was chock full of gamer nerdcore sexual fluff like those Sirens.

Looking at the cast list, Alan is back which means TRON should still be around though most likely in quarantine somewhere.

And CLU 2.0? Would have been classier to make it some insane number like 3.1.1 

fakeedit: I also think it funny Olivia is topping the list before Bridges.

[Surlyboi]

Olivia should be on the top of everything.

Starting with me.

You didn't watch the trailer?  Alan's in it - he's the one telling Sam that he's just got a page from Kevin's office.

[Margalis]

Taken as a whole though, could there be more of a boner movie ever devised?  

Not to derail too badly but I'd say pretty much any movie with Michelle Pfeiffer.

Jesus I completely missed that.

so, daft punk are actually inside the computer. Not enough  faces to describe that really.

[Chimpy]

Was that Bowie in the video with the cane?

[Ironwood]

It was Frost.

[Chimpy]

It was Frost.

I had to search to figure out what that meant. I R behind on movies.

:(

[Ironwood]

It's actors I'm behind on, not roles. Couldn't remember his real name.

 

[Cyrrex]

Has anyone seen the original Tron recently?  If so, how does it hold up?

Reason I ask is because I don't think I've seen in since it came out, and I don't remember any of it.

[UnSub]

"Tron" has its charms. What sets is apart the most is its appearance and imagination - characters are acting are (at best) so-so.

[Khaldun]

I think it's much as it always was: a kind of stiffness in the acting and storytelling that ends up working in favor of the film as it accentuates the feeling of a machine-like, cold mood inside the computer world, makes the programs feel like abbreviated, not fully alive intelligences. Most the visuals still impress me a lot, except for the weird bit with the grid bugs near the end, which always stood out as a visual failure.

It's been running on Sky Movies for a couple of months now, clearly building from the Hype.  Elena LOVES IT.  She watches it every time it's on.  For my part, it's just as cool as I remember it and in HD it's really quite nice to look at.  It's an utterly ridiculous story that simply can't be taken at face value at all, but it's Tron so who gives a ratfuck.  (In particular, the corporate storyline is simply laughable.)

It holds up quite well, but it's an effects movie and it always was.  I suspect strongly that the Follow up will be much the same and, frankly, just as good.

tldr: Four Year Olds, dude.

Sadly, I had this on VHS for the longest time and ignored it. Ever since my mass tape purge, I missed it so I picked it off a torrent. I echo what everyone said so far, it's dated but it such a way that it knits itself nicely in the timeframe of when the movie came out. You can almost forgive the raw nature of it given the raw nature of computer technology at that time. I watch it more for the nostalgia factor. It's one of my top 10 in that respect.

[Chimpy]

It should look great in HD, it was filmed in 70mm (which was to 35mm what HD is to 480i).

Why hasn't someone made more crazy mobile game like this, or am I just behind the times again?

[Ironwood]

Because most people don't wanna be sued when some asshole lets his IPhone lead him into traffic.

[Zaljerem]

A quote from the original that strikes home, as I spend my days in corporate IT:

Dr. Walter Gibbs: User requests are what computers are for!
Ed Dillinger: DOING OUR BUSINESS is what computers are for.

And some philosophy:

Kevin Flynn: Like the man says, there's no problems, only solutions.

Dumont: All that is visible must grow beyond itself, and extend into the realm of the invisible.

I agree with pretty much everything you all have said regarding the film and how it's held up over time. Carlos' score has some truly excellent moments too ("Sea of Simulation" being one of my favorites).

I'm pretty geeked for Tron Legacy.

[Ratman_tf]

Better or worse than someone running a pedestrian over because they were texting instead of paying attention?

[Ironwood]

I'm entirely indifferent.   Assholes with Iphones need to die anyway.

[DraconianOne]

Not quite the same but I have got Zombie, Run! on my Android which can make a walk/run in the woods more entertaining.  Downside being that it absolutely eats battery when the GPS is on.

As the designated asshole with an iPhone representative: Fuck you.

The soundtrack is available for $4 as mp3s on Amazon.com as of ten minutes ago.

I went ahead and just downloaded the album illegally anyways to see if I like it, I'll decide to buy it after I've heard the tracks.
