Greetings, programs!

Posted by Flynn (aka landbeck) Aug 4 '09, 21:34

I made my kids watch "Tron" so they could understand it's significance in subsequent pop culture. It pre-dated "The Matric", "The Terminator", a lot of the modern computers-are-going-to-come-alive-and-take-over.

But man, what a terrible, terrible movie...

I almost fell over when my daughter said she'd never heard of Tron. But I can't decide if I should make her watch it because I'm guessing it doesn't - JaxSean Aug 4, 21:41 8
- Some old SF movies, they are classics. Tron's reach exceeded its grasp. - landbeck Aug 4, 22:33
- You gotta wonder how well the sequel will do - eag Aug 4, 21:58 1
  - They need to bring it (because it's already been brought). -- nm - JaxSean Aug 4, 22:19
- some of it does. and then some of it is like "wow, those foam suits with neon boning look friggin ridiculous now." -- nm - TFox Aug 4, 21:49
- really, you've only got yourself to blame -- nm - Roger More Aug 4, 21:47
- The animation is not near what it is today, but it worked for me - amoxy Aug 4, 21:43 2
  - Yeah, but you saw it then. She's grown up in the 2000's with The Matrix coming out when she was 3. - JaxSean Aug 4, 21:50 1
    - It will be like me watching early silent movies when I was a kid wondering wtf, they are moving all silly -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 4, 22:07
i just watched it the other night too. it's not awful but it doesn't really bother to get much of the conceptual stuff about how computers work - 500 dugs of summer Aug 4, 21:41 1
- heh, yeah I saw your "Now *that's a big door!" first the other night. - landbeck Aug 4, 22:28
