     That part is a little upsetting, yes.

     I would allow that if it was actually Bowie.

       I think that's John Hurt's character which is still kinda cool.

         Almost could pass as Neal X from Sigue Sigue Sputnik.

       It's my understanding that this is the... er... in-game explanation for some of Daft Punk's music.

   I'm excited to see this! I always liked the original, which I saw in the theaters when it was first released.

     A worthy remake is a rara avis indeed. We'll see if this one flies...

   Man, can you imagine how much pussy Tronguy's gonna get from this, though?

   Best moment of today: seeing the new Tron trailer.
   Worst moment: Realizing its release is still 9 months away.

   Yes, the actress chosen to play Mercury has significant levels of Awesome, doesn't she?

   Olivia Wilde as Quorra...

   Not that I've seen her in anything, but apparently this is her sexing it up with another woman in House:

   I'm just glad Jeff Bridges is in it.

     It's like the nerd cherry on top, innit?

    I'm trying to decide if the bikes turning at non-right-angles is heresy, or a nice update.

      If they draw simple bezier curves, I'm okay with that.

      It seems right, somehow, now that it's the 21st century and all.

    A couple of years ago I watched Tron with a mix of techie oldsters and 20somethings. I have to say the snark from the kids was hilarious.

    "My god... there are TENS of polygons in this scene...."

      Quite a difference 20 years makes. You could probably render the original movie in real time on your iPhone.

    My second son is named Tron (the first is named Link).

    Looks like the game Portal exploded on the big screen.

    You're right, that is a pretty badass futon.
