I feel like David E Cobb (pt 1)
Last night, the guys and I watched Tron, the original 1982 version.
It was at least the third time I had seen the film. For some, it was the first time. It got mixed reviews from the gang. My opinion is that it's a solid movie. Yes, of course, it's dated and the cgi is a little bit off at times, but it was very innovative for its time and it's fun.
Having come out just a few years after Star Wars, I would argue that it's noticeably derivative.
- Sark is Darth Vader, Yori is Princess Leia, Tron is Obi-Wan and Flynn is Luke Skywalker.
- Instead of a laser sword, Flynn's mystical weapon is his identity disc.
- There's one part where Flynn sneaks past enemy lines bystealing a stormtrooper's uniform taking on a soldier's red color.
Oh, and I found the hidden Mickey! It's like 3/4 in to the film, during the solar sailer simulation scene.
Thursday night is Tron 2 (Imax 3D). I can't wait!

The Chapelle Show. I totally missed out on that one. By the time it hit my radar, he went crazy abd ended the show. I should go back and watch it.
