We saw the trailer on Friday when we saw Alice - looked good

[innerSpaceman]

The girls in the row in front of us were like, What the Fvck is Tron?

I'm glad the movie is fondly remembered by those of a certain age. But the look that thrilled half the audience during the trailer was greeted with "meh" by the other (younger) half.


Still, Tron was a breakthrough film that - I have to say - wasn't very good as a movie. It deserves another shot - and I hope they succeed in the rather easy task of making a better film, and the rather daunting task of making the visual style that was revolutionary in the 80's look striking and rad in the much more sophisticated 10's.

Oooh! Love it!

[Strangler Lewis]

Crazy Heart, Shmazy Heart.

Hell, I'd pay to go see the first Tron in a theater again, so, yeah, I'm there on opening day for this very slick looking sequel. Hope it's as cool as it looks.

I tried watching the original movie again the other day. I fell asleep. Boring....

But I have found that to be true with so many of the older films, I guess we are so use to the high action, over visualized, special effects driven adrinalin pumping rides that the old stuff has then same effect as a sleeping pill.

The main dissapointment I have about this film....


That I have to wait untill December to see it!

Call me crazy, but I still love the original Tron

...and I'm looking forward to Legacy.

I have fond memories of the original Tron. Of course, until recently, I also remember thinking the "Saturday Night Fever" dance sequences were fast-paced.

Nope, I didn't care for Tron in its first run ... and neither did most audiences. It bombed, if I recall correctly.

BUT - - it had great elements, and wonderful style. Jeff Bridges, David Warner and some other fun performers. A cool look unseen at that time, and an experimental type score by Wendy Carlos. None of it gelled, imo ... and I daresay in the opinions of many.

But it lived on in fondness for what it did achieve and for its really cool parts which were greater than the sum of.


Believe me, I squee at the Tron footwear, the Tron tattoos, and the prospects of the Tron tunnel returning to Disneyland. So, yes, I squeed at the trailer the other night ... and I will be seeing this movie on Opening Day.

S.Q.E. Squee.

Tron gets major props from me for doing a remarkably good job at carrying out the software-as-characters analogy. Not perfect mind you, but to do as good a job as they did at translating some real computing concepts into a story that played fairly well on screen, in the era that they did it, was no small feat.

[Cadaverous Pallor]

Niiiiice trailer. Here's hopin'!

[Chernabog]

Yeah TRON is, for me, something that is better in nostalgic memory than in movie-watching reality. I have fond memories of being a kid that are associated with the movie (kind of like He-man, ET, and Scooby-Doo) that transport me to another time when I think about it..... but when I actually watch it I regret dusting it off. Though I never really understood TRON the movie as a kid, I just associate it with good times visiting my aunt and uncle and cousins in the bay area (who just happened to have a tron arcade game in their garage, which WAS awesome). And of course I can't forget the SUPER FRICKIN LOUD TRON TUNNEL at disneyland.

Dude!

[BarTopDancer]

The game confused me and I don't remember the movie. All I remember is the Tron room on the People Mover. This movie looks pretty and like it would. be awesometastic in 3D. I'm sure I'll end up seeing it. I just read the wiki summary and I just hope I don't need to know WTF the first one was about to enjoy the 2nd one. Cause I still have no clue.

That's because: The character of Alan is based on Alan Kay, a genuine computer pioneer who thought up stuff like overlapping window interfaces and the laptop computer (he called it a Dynabook). The original Tron screenwriter, Bonnie MacBird, later married Kay. He was also a paid consultant on the film itself. So all that geeky stuff in Tron rings true for a reason.

From here (http://alibi.com/index.php?story=26335&scn=blog).

Interesting note, Bonnie was a member of the Knightsbridge Theatre Company when I was, and I've been to her and Alan's home a few times. First time there I had to ask why they had a Tron poster in their hallway. He designed and hand built a wooden pipe organ in their music room/library. Amazing.
