Tron: C/D?

Classic for the movie: A programmers worse nightmare suddenly comes alive when he realizes that he is part of the game.

What is the disney version of Star Wars that came out shortly afterwards. The Black Hole! Does anyone remember the Black Hole?

And they did!

"Now that is a big door!"

But anyway, David Warner never looked more sinister than in that glowing helicopter, and I wish they would reissue the damn Wendy Carlos soundtrack. The Discs of Tron game is one of my favorites.

Jeff Bridges sure has done a lotta movies, eh?

A friend discovered that the only real way to see the movie anymore is to watch the French dub on the DVD. Hearing the MCP say "Fin de transmission" is worth it alone. ;-)

Also -- apologies if this has been mentioned -- anyone else catch the easter egg of Mickey Mouse's face at one point? Presumably this has long since made the rounds, but I can proudly claim I figured this one out on my own after only a couple of viewings. ;-)

I remember some dude with a beard named Maximillian. Is this the same thing?

Tron was good too...

i am going to murder jeff bridges. is that flynn gormless or what?

That's right, Maxmillian Schnell played the darstedly doctor, Hans Reinhardt, and wasn't he a nasty piece of work! You probably know him from such greats as A Bridge Too Far, the TV version of Phantom of the Opera and of course Hamlet in Hollywood.

So why was the robot called Maximillian in the film as well? Well, that was a joke from the film-makers. Perhaps they wanted to amuse us, bemuse us or simply confuse us - but whatever it was, I'm sure we all agree it worked!

22nd February Ladytron are providing a new original live score to a screening of Tron. Arthur Baker will be DJing and the first 150 people also get to see The Matrix (yeah, like, wow).

it's in association with Uncut and Playstation 2.

i wanna go. that and the coil/mouse on mars/plaid computer games thing at the barbican which sounds totally skill.

I forgot to mention that there's an elaborate promo at the start of the new disc for the incipient Tron sequel, TronKillerApp. Going to the site sets up an interesting little situation -- there's been no confirmed word on what the story will be about.

if you like i can write a review of what i think it would be like.

I just caught another one last night, which also gets mentioned in the documentary. When Sark is looking at the map screen on his ship and tersely ordering his men to "Get them!," referring to the lightcycle breakout trio, look for the yellow Pac-Man on the right of the screen. There are various audio noises from Pac-Man throughout the mix on Sark's ship, actually...

Black Hole: Totally terrifying, esp. the ending.

:jek

Not if the promo I mentioned is any indication -- also, the making of doc shows some initial concept art from the planned sequel. It might not be made in the end, but it's gone beyond the talking stages.

ok this is weird as i was sat on the train only this past tuesday morning contemplating the storyline for a sequel to Tron.

Tron 2.0 the game is actually really good, and worth tracking down.

It is, but it's also really bloody hard in places. I'm still stuck at the point where I have to snipe these flying balls in some sort of huge directory library room. I load it up and my energy gets zapped to nothing sometimes in less than 3 seconds.

It would be cool if they re-set this sequel back in the 80's, with all the old arcade games from back then.

"End of line."

"Cute."

Though I remember when this came out as a wee kiddie, I'd never seen it til a few weeks back and I was quite pleasantly suprised how good it is. It isn't that dated visually because they didn't go overboard with trying to use as much cutting edge tech as they could have - the painterly feel really works. Bruce Boxleitner is his usual amusingly over dramatic self a la Bab5, but hey I like that.

Autechre should totally do the S/T for the remake!

Boards of Canada?

Plaid

According to IMDB, the guy in that link mentioned upthread is doing a remake of Logan's Run, no mention of Tron.

Did anyone besides code monkeys like this?? If it wasn't for Brisges' and Boxleitner's beauty I'd have turned it off.

it's incredible...

if you watch it high at an i-max

surely they didn't IMAX the '82 original?

(I can only imagine how awful the sequel was if it was a 'disappointment')

I can't believe I only just noticed this

http://sarcasmlol.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/unnamed-1.jpg

well how many times have you seen this movie

an astonishing large amount.

not enough! the pac man thing is ref'd upthread

also morbz neither me nor my wife (or our children) are code monkeys and we all love this movie

I was about to say, not only is there the Pac-Man visual joke but there's audio from the game in that scene as well. Impossible to miss...I *thought*.

this movie is so great. if they ever reboot this again they should try to mimic the wonderful og colorful vector style more closely.

I was probably always too busy gawking over David Warners sexy outfit.

Tron still appears as an answer in crossword puzzles to this very day, therefore it must be classic.
