TRON: Legacy

There are moments that people cherish from their childhood. Things like playing catch with their dad the first time, or your first best friend.

One of the moments in my childhood was watching TRON for the first time, at my Aunt and Uncle's house. I couldn't have been more than 3 or 4 at the time, as they had it in Betamax (google it). The movie was completely different than anything I'd ever seen and took over my world for months. It was special. It is a part of who I am. It was a big part of why I became interested in technology and science fiction.

Every once in a while I sit down and watch my TRON DVD. I think back to a time with my Aunt (who has since passed away from cancer) and Uncle. It's really an entertaining movie, even without the nostalgia.

Imagine my surprise when I see that they are making a sequel... with Jeff Bridges.

I apologize for the quality of the bootleg trailer here (from ComicCon), but suffice to say that it's a decent teaser. I'll add the obligatory "I hope they don't screw it up", but really I am just happy to see someone take a crack at the TRON universe. If it's good, even a little, this will be a great movie experience.

The release date is estimated to be some time in 2011.

Bitching. I watched the VHS of TRON to static when I was younger. now they are making another... I haven't even the words to describe what Bridges looked like in that trailer, other than awesome.

Holy shit! That's awesome!!

I LOVED LOVED LOVED the movie TRON. I saw it in the theaters, and I went back twice more for good measure. I thought it was absolutely unlike anything I'd ever seen. When the video game came out, I spent hours in the arcades, playing it....

I want to see this. I liked Tron when I was a kid, but I'm not a huge fan of it. Think I might d/l it and watch it again.

Jeff Bridges looks fucking awesome.

Okay, wait....

Jeff Bridges is returning, Daft Punk is doing the score, and some crazy designer is working on it?

HD trailer looks awesome.

It didn't dawn on me to check the acutal URL that the video came from, looks like they started with the viral sites already.

UPDATE 7/24



FLYNN’S ARCADE WILL BE OPEN AGAIN ON FRIDAY THE 24th @ 9PM UNTIL ???

335 6th Ave., 92101


Thursday’s meet-up was an enormous success!!

Thanks to everyone who came to support our continued efforts to find out what happened to Kevin Flynn.

Genius, Visionary, Modern Hero.

That is Kevin Flynn.

He came into our lives and showed us the limitless possibilities of the future. And then, all of a sudden, he "disappeared."

Some people believed he died. We don't. We know that Kevin Flynn Lives.

We're not crazy, we're not obssessed, we're not lunatics. We simply have followed the facts wherever they lead. And the facts tell us that Kevin Flynn Lives.

We are here for Kevin. Nobody can make us stop believing that he is out there, that he's waiting for us, and that he will return when the time is right.


HIGHLIGHTS OF OUR MOVEMENT
1989 -- Kevin Flynn alleged to "disappear." Initial facts raise many questions. Many of us were suspicious.

1990 -- Sightings of Kevin Flynn by ordinary citizens, including high-credibility "Level 3" sightings of Flynn in NYC's Central Park during a Shakespeare Festival, on the fringes of a San Francisco street fair, and the notorious "Elvira" sighting of Kevin Flynn at Halloween celebrations in West Hollywood, California. Unfortunately, these initial sightings display certain characteristics true to this day -- nothing has been confirmed and photographic evidence has been lacking.

1992 -- Sightings continue. Several of us make contact thru Usenet and begin correspondence.

1994 -- First Flynn Lives! meet-up in Dayton, Ohio. We resolve to continue our efforts to find out the facts behind the mysterious disappearance.

1998 -- Letter from Kevin Flynn to a founding member of the group gains media attention, then debunked. Founding member (now ex-member) checks into a mental hospital for observations.

2001 -- A $5,000 award is offered to anybody who can prove Kevin Flynn is alive. By December 31st, alas, nobody had satisfied our jury and the money was spent on a great party for all of the "Troniacs" we know and love!

2002 - 2005 An era of low visibility for our group. Sightings drop off, and interest seems to slacken. Thank heavens that is over!

2007 - Interest picks up as the "Albino Cow" Flynn sighting in southern New Jersey energizes a new generation of activists.

Same here. I just got a look from her that she knew I was calling in a movie marker on this one.

Ok, I'm really pumped about TRON. I'm really hoping that Disney doesn't cheezify the story too much, but I'm betting on it being kid-safe so I can take my nephews to see it for Christmas. I can't wait!
