tron and tr2n

[lbyrd2]

first off: to all those people who remember I said I would never start another thread: I lied.

Anyway: I was wondering if anyone has seen tron before, also if you know about tr2n (the sequel out in 2011) or where to find a good quality version of the trailer.

[mudling]

Have you ever seen that simpsons movie where homer is asked to describe an interdimensional portal, and he says "Has anyone heard of the movie tron?" and every single character says no. Well, that pretty much somes up my thoughts now.

Yeah I've heard of it, and that apparently the matrix is based off it, so I guess the sequal may be interesting.

[Mac Sirloin]

The Matrix was inspired by tron?

[Leto]

Lol I guess I never made the association, but it makes complete sense to me now.

[mitsur]

Probably going to be killed by a sub-par plot, but the trailer looked cool.

[Nate]

Shouldn't the sequel to Tron be tr1n? Especially if we want to count like a computer code iterator?

Nerd Alert...

[Leto]

The game Tron 2.0 had a gun called the LOL.

Was going to just edit my last post but Havoc and Leto got in first:

EDIT: Warning! Most of the videos on youtube are actually of the computer game or Rick Astley. Don't be confused.
EDIT EDIT: They actually haven't started making the film yet. The only footage available in blurry form on youtube was just test footage.

[T-nex]

I dunno.. TRON is a classic.... Who's gonna direct it and stuff?

[Leto]

Joseph Kosinski, so says wikipedia. It really, really doesn't need a sequel.

They've made a trailer. it was at some nerd convention, I heard about it.

[Nate]

Yes, at Comic-con. They haven't uploaded it officially yet, so all that's available on youtube are blurry phone camera versions.

[Strike Witch]

Well, that would imply they've done stuff, anyway.

No one can ever post this on this forum without being a hypocrite

I tend to think that it didn't need to be made at all. This is not a film that I get nostalgiac about. It is, however, a film that convinces me that it is time to change the channel when it comes on. I really don't like Tron.

[mitsur]

I saw Tron on 'Movies That Don't Suck' on G4.

More proof that G4 is a piece of shit.

They stopped playing 'Cops'? Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle.

I didn't mind Tron. The dialogue and pacing was a bit off at some points, but the heart was there.

Not a movie I'd want to actually own, though.

However, it's been soured as of late due to the influx of Kingdom Hearts fans who have sort of claimed it as their own. *shudder*

Nothing frightens me more than hearing the words "influx of Kindom Hearts fans". I mean, really. Was Disney not already shit enough as it was? Did you have to add a Tifa love interest into Donald Duck's life? Who the fuck thought this would be a good idea? Who? I'll slap 'em. Unless they were just being really cynical and realized that some morons will buy anything while the rest of us either shake our heads or laugh. In that case I will kill them. Because they fucking better knew better.

I really liked the Kingdom Heart's series, it really came as a big surprise to me after being introduced to the internet in a big way when I found out how horribly the so called fandom of most of my favourite games and shows had warped and perverted them .

[OANST]

Disney is an evil empire and should be destroyed. That's all I have to say on the subject.

[Strike Witch]

Fandom ruins everything.

The Matrix was inspired by tron?

most current CG movies are inspired by tron in one way or another:

It inspired Jhon lasseter to start pixar,
It pretty much saved disney from going bankrupt,
at the time (when it had good graphics) it got tons of people to get intrested in CG bringing the graphics in movies and games we have today (maybe even oddworld.)

[Strike Witch]

It pretty much saved disney from going bankrupt,

the hell? Tron wasn't major (what I heard)

EDIT: yeah

Tron was released on July 9, 1982 in 1,091 theaters grossing USD $4.8 million on its opening weekend. It went on to make $33 million in North America, moderately successful considering its $17 million budget.

nothing exactly groundbreaking.

[lbyrd2]

yes, but disney was doing very bad at the time (only making herbie movies) and tron brought in enough money for them to keep going

[Strike Witch]

...

I doubt it.

[lbyrd2]

rent the dvd and go to "the making of" on disc 2, they say disney wasn't going too well but they finally had the cutting edge stuff.

[Strike Witch]

... I'm not going to track down a DVD when you can pull that shit off some news site or wikipedia or something.
