About Tron Legacy

[scavgraphics]

You know how revisions, reboots, and revisits are often said on geek forums to have raped their childhood? Tron Legacy doesn't do that. It's more like slightly uncomfortable, but ultimately satisfying one night stand with an ex for old time's sake

I liked it overall, and picked up on some of the bonus details. I missed even more.

I know this because I went and watched the original afterward, online.

I keep seeing people whiz on Avatar as if their remarks somehow made it less. But the louts and the snobs have always done this; they used to taunt the actors from the crowds and throw turnips when Juliet's voice broke

Well, wow.

Sorry. I didn't like Avatar. I'm not the first to compare the two films, I didn't even bring it up with the folks I saw it with. Avatar is a very pretty movie, but that's it. If was the exact same script with people in makeup, filmed on the backlot, it wouldn't have had any of the acclaim heaped upon it. I saw it before reading any reviews. When I left I thought "wow, wasn't that just Dances with Wolves with aliens?" I hadn't realized that that was a meme already at the time, and I still haven't actually seen Dances with Wolves. It was all spectacle. I've now seen the spectacle. I'm sure I'll see Avatar 2 Electric Boogaloo when it comes out, but I don't need to see the first one again.

On "seeing the RiffTrax version" - I wasn't aware that it was a cheater or snob thing. I enjoy RiffTrax as I enjoyed MST3K before it, and I enjoy hearing RiffTrax for movie's I've seen before. They did Avatar, so I watched it. I'll watch it when they do Tron. Hopefully they'll even do Tron 1.

The product its self sounds great and quite intuitive which I feel is vital for photo bases applications. Look forward to checking it out myself - especially if i win!
