While I'm glad Daft Punkwas used for the score, I'm just glad we got to see them perform live 5 or so years ago.

Yeah, I'm not sure why there's a Yogi Bear movie, either.

And people are paying to see it? Wow.

You can't take kids to see True Grit, and this is the time to see movies with kids. Unless you're us.

I enjoyed Tron a good deal more than GD did for all the usual reasons. I'm a gullible popcorn-muncher. :D I was interested throughout, and dug the parallels between parenting and programming, however obvious and blatant. I'm easy to please and won't argue any criticism.

After all the hype, I was extremely disappointed by the young Bridges face. Did not look real for a second. If it doesn't work, don't use it, and sure as hell don't tell everyone how awesome it is. Boo.



It was video game weekend as we FINALLY saw Scott Pilgrim vs the World. LOVE! How did this movie not become a blockbuster smash? I will follow Edgar Wright anywhere.

You all (who agree with me) need to go see movies faster so you can agree with me when it does me some good.

We are so far behind in our movie watching, we just saw Alice in Wonderland for the first time. I can't believe I went, what, 2 years without that gem enriching my life!

And, when did the Cohen Bros start making remakes? Maybe they should've re-made Tron, because it sounds like their remake of True Grit is great. I saw the original in a theater with my parents when it came out. I was 7. I don't remember being impressed, but I was 7.

And, are the going to remake Rooster Cogburn next?

At least as early as 2004 when they did a remake of The Ladykillers, which was not that good.

You could definitely see True Grit at home and be none the worse for the smaller screen experience. Oh, and I think it's one of only 4 movies in the marketplace that's not in 3-D, so you won't be missing that on the home front either. :D


I think a Greatest Hits Reel of Tron 1 and 2 highlights would be awesome. As standalone films? - - eh, not so much.

Gemini Cricket 12-27-2010 01:07 PM

I think what's preventing me from seeing Tron 2 is the creepy young Jeff Bridges. Ew.

The did it pretty well in the opening scene (btw, the only scene in the whole film that seemed to me to be in 3-D), by shooting him from the back and keeping him in the shadows. They should have nixed the reveal shot, as it was just bad-fx creepy.

No such problem with Clu, in my opinion. I guess he should look as lifelike as all the other anthropomorphic computer "progams" ... but because he was one, it didn't bug me that he looked a little fake.


GC, for every bit of off-putting Clu-looking, there's a lovely bit of Garrett-looking that's very rewarding to the eyes. He may be just as wooden as a bit of GCI, but he's prettier than most of the shiny effects in the movie.
