I just want to see another lazer light for accompanied by the LCD-light driven digital adventure that Daft Punk will give it.... Don't give us SPOILERS....We're adults here. Also...."WHERE THE FUCK IS KURT RUSSELL?" (DANGER HAVOK!)

Legs spread, ready and waiting by Hikaru Ichijo	Jul 3rd, 2009 11:38:20 AM
I like TR2N as a title, they should keep it. The hype is just beginning.
Wow, this is late. by ManaByte	Jul 3rd, 2009 11:45:55 AM
The site posted that review back around the 20th of last month...
I hope this will be good. by Motoko Kusanagi	Jul 3rd, 2009 11:53:05 AM
Seriously. I love TRON.
If anyone involved with the movie is reading this... by Kentucky Colonel	Jul 3rd, 2009 12:02:24 PM
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD...WE KNOW THE EFFECTS WILL BE MIND BLOWING! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SPEND YOUR MONEY ON A GREAT SCRIPT. NOT GOOD, NOT REHASHED, HOW ABOUT A REAL PHILLIP K DICK MINDBLOWER OF A SCRIPT?!!? Sorry for the capitals, but JESUS H. PENIS....DO THIS ONE RIGHT!!!!

Huh? by BartholomewNeff	Jul 3rd, 2009 12:13:56 PM
Man, things sure have changed. I used to like coming here for breaking news and scoops. This news is from last month from a link I got from Blue Sky Disney.
no it's nothing like MATRIX: RELOADED by Talkbacker with no name	Jul 3rd, 2009 12:30:05 PM
are you fucking nuts?
This is the movie that robbed me of a DAFT PUNK album by ricarleite2	Jul 3rd, 2009 12:32:33 PM
In early 2009, like it WAS SUPPOSED TO BE!
I'd rather watch....... by WalkenLives	Jul 3rd, 2009 12:36:23 PM
Viewmaster, Transformers 2, Battleship, Candyland, Coca-Cola: The Movie, Pirates of the Carribean and all the consumer products as movies that are going around these days.
Sinclair? As in TIMEX-SINCLAIR?! by Sir Loin	Jul 3rd, 2009 01:10:13 PM
A character with that name has to be an Easter Egg.
is that a real poster for the film...?? by Cap'n Jack	Jul 3rd, 2009 01:15:07 PM

Actually seems rather good by judderman	Jul 3rd, 2009 01:32:33 PM
Shame about the religious allegory. Hope it gets put back in. Also, little worried that one of their characters' names is "dork" spelled backwards. Like insulting your target audience is actually funny. Besides "Keeg" or "Dren" would have been funnier.
Die Hard 2 wasn't a continuation, it was a rehash by Spandau Belly	Jul 3rd, 2009 01:37:49 PM
full of lame self-referential jokes and tedious contrivances to bring back every character from the first one.
I'm tempted to call bullshit on this one... by Cap'n Jack	Jul 3rd, 2009 01:42:45 PM
...that 'review' sucked and didn't really tell us anything we didn't already know.

ain't it old news
guess harry is to lazy for the dvd report huh by supercowbell5THECOWBELLHASSPOKEN	Jul 3rd, 2009 02:14:31 PM
god sitting in front of a computer must be such a hard job.
Friend of mine is working on this one by heavenlykid	Jul 3rd, 2009 02:17:27 PM
Not in any massive, capacity, just in office payroll and stuff. Anyway, the general word on the inside is...if you want to know how NOT to make a movie, learn from these guys. It's been a horrible process for him and for all his crew. Now, that being said, the same words were spoken about the first two X Men movies and they actually turned out pretty kick ass.
TRON: THE GREATEST MOVIE NEVER SEEN by Womb_Raker	Jul 3rd, 2009 02:27:58 PM
"Have you ever seen Tron?" "Uh,no. What's...'Tron'?" "Have you seen it?" "No..." "You?" "Negative..." "Ah, fuck it! Pass me that J, will ya? You uncultured swine!"
If they fuck this up... by JackLucas	Jul 3rd, 2009 02:38:58 PM
I will literally beat the fuck out of someone. Seriously. If upon walking out of the auditorium after seeing the first showing available to me my mind has not been blown, fucked, sucked and swallowed I will grab the closest person of my size nearby and proceed to get thrown into jail for assault. That is how much TRON means to me. My connection to that movie borders on the religious. Yes, I am a sick fuck who by all rights should be locked up in a room alone all day and slipped beef jerkey and a tube to drink warm water through. But a motherfucker or two will indeed lose teeth if this film does not stand shoulder to shoulder with the original. And to those who will anonymously talk their shit on here... trust me, you wouldn't say one ill word about the original TRON around me if we were face to face. I am going to go get high now. If when I come back anyone has the balls to talk shit about TRON and include their name and address, I will come to where you live and punish your eyeballs with my fingertips and your women with my genitals.
JackLucas- by Cap'n Jack	Jul 3rd, 2009 02:57:31 PM
I agree with ya. Tron is huge to me.
Only Phillip K Dick by Semen Stains	Jul 3rd, 2009 03:24:35 PM
could write a Phillip K Dick mindblower of a script.
I agree JackLucas by Kentucky Colonel	Jul 3rd, 2009 04:28:53 PM
better book a padded cell for two. I hate to say it, but maybe the script could be Dick-like (and NOT Dick-Lite?)
JackLucas by angelopoulos	Jul 3rd, 2009 04:30:56 PM
I think you may be my hero. I think it will still be good. There were hacking scenes in the original where they showed the programmer, then the program doing the programmer's bidding. It does need the religious allegory though. It's going to be hard for Daft Punk to beat Wendy Carlos.
i hate Tron, it's such a boring movie by one_guy_from_andromeda_	Jul 3rd, 2009 05:50:40 PM
i won't be seeing this lame retread
JackLucas by spud mcspud	Jul 3rd, 2009 06:11:30 PM
CALM. THE. FUCK. DOWN. Look, I LOVES me some TRON - it's one of the most imaginative and amazing movies of the 80s - but if the sequel flops, you still have the original. Besides, Bridges wouldn't get involved if it was shit. He's a huge fan of TRON. Chill, Winston. Be still, and know that I am Spud. The Users still reign!
petergrifin by spud mcspud	Jul 3rd, 2009 06:14:06 PM
Oh, like that shit won't get old QUICK. Did you also do those heeeee-LARious letters from a so-called "Orc" in the Fighting Fantasy WARLOCK magazine all those years ago? No? I only ask because he wasn't funny either. Anyone remember when these TBs had real people discussing shit for real instead of creating tedious fucking one-dimensional TB "characters" and then trying to spin out the same lame joke ad fucking infinitum? Jeeeeesus...
So it'll be better than MATRIX: RELOADED?? by Mike_D	Jul 3rd, 2009 06:18:16 PM
sweet
Another case of too much time has past since the original. by Orionsangels	Jul 3rd, 2009 06:31:10 PM

I didn't say better, babe by Talkbacker with no name	Jul 3rd, 2009 06:42:07 PM
;)
heavenlykid, the general word on the inside is... by Talkbacker with no name	Jul 3rd, 2009 06:50:31 PM
from someone they brought in from outside of production to help with paying the crew? Not saying you are wrong it's troubled (what film isn't in the film making process in some way?) but those guys know fuck all about what really goes on in the film making process. I know that from experience, not a friend :)
Tron sucked. by ackack	Jul 3rd, 2009 08:53:44 PM
The same nostalgic reviewers who loved Land of the Lost will love Tron 2. Every review will start with their stupid memories of seeing Tron for the first time and being so affected by it blah blah blah. I don't if I will see this or not. Still don't get why they haven't released the comic con trailer in high quality at least on the web.
Wow, that sentence is confusing by lockesbrokenleg	Jul 3rd, 2009 09:12:53 PM
It's like Die Hard, but not like ESB. Wow, thanks for clearing that up.
don't fuck this up. seriously by frank cotton	Jul 3rd, 2009 09:30:27 PM
he pushed me in the real world. somebody pushes me, i push back, so i brought him down here.
The Dude abides.... by gruemanlives	Jul 3rd, 2009 09:48:18 PM
If Jeff has agreed to do it, it's going to be good. The man can do no wrong. One of the greatest actors of our time.
Haven't read a thing, but what do we have to lose? by DoctorZoidberg	Jul 3rd, 2009 10:03:54 PM
I mean really, even if they fuck it up. Does it make a difference for those who like the original?? I think not, so haters, stuff a sock in it. Nobody FUCKING cares what you think, not a bit.
Unless you are over 30, you don't have a right to comment by DoctorZoidberg	Jul 3rd, 2009 10:07:09 PM
You little prepubescent swine should just take a back seat. Don't get up on your horse. That would be like me getting my knickers into a twist over 'To Kill A Mockingbird'. You all are just talking out of your ass.
In fact fuck anybody under 30 on any TB. by DoctorZoidberg	Jul 3rd, 2009 10:08:56 PM
There that should be inflammatory enough. :)
It sounds like Die Hard 4 by lockesbrokenleg	Jul 4th, 2009 01:57:03 AM
Or any subplot of any 24 season.
Fair enough talkbacker with no name but... by heavenlykid	Jul 4th, 2009 01:57:14 AM
I feel like I should say, I was saying that people on the inside are not happy with the process. That doesn't mean the movie is going to suck (that's why I brought up X-men, which had the same issue). And yes, you are right, I'm not on the inside. But my boy has never steered me wrong (and he's not just some guy they bring in. here's there day one). thank you though for respectfully disagreeing as opposed to calling me a goat fucker of some sort as is the norm in talkback world.
Latino Review Reported on this about 3-4 weeks ago by Necrophagia	Jul 4th, 2009 01:59:31 AM
Latino Review Reported on this about 3-4 weeks ago. You'reseriously letting it slip Harry I never write into a Talkback but this one made me, I even had to register a new password cause I forgot all my login details.
Sounds like a turd-toon, indeed. by JackPumpkinhead	Jul 4th, 2009 02:24:04 AM
At least that "tr2n" is appropriate. "Tron 2.0" was the only proper sequel.
well heavenlykid by Talkbacker with no name	Jul 4th, 2009 06:41:45 AM
it's much better to have a nice little chat here than fight eh? I mean come on! How can you fight over Tron? I guess my point was they only get the odd set visit from time to time and are not on the floor when all the action is going down. But yeah sure thye hear a lot of things. Fingers crossed whatever is going down that the end result is stunning, you pig fucker.
I had never seen tron untill about 2 years ago by southafricanguy	Jul 4th, 2009 08:31:54 AM
when a friend loaned me his old vhs copy. I must say that the costume design and production designs were really cool. Also, it had really good ideas (very ahead of their time imho...), but I have to say what a weak script and mundane direction. And I dont think its aged too well either. So Im wondering if people like tron so much because of nostalgia, or if they truly think its a good film. Would be interested to hear some opinions...
bla-se by opacity	Jul 4th, 2009 10:14:21 AM
dark night, dark knight whatever. remember we kinda love the movies. RESPECT first, Then we can mock them.
heavenlykid & Talkbacker with no name are GOATFUCKERS!!! by JackLucas	Jul 4th, 2009 11:51:11 AM
Of some sort.
Hey Harry! by dancetothebeatofthelivingdead	Jul 4th, 2009 12:29:23 PM
Seen any good DVD's in the last few weeks, you lazy fuck?
Oh yeah, I forgot by dancetothebeatofthelivingdead	Jul 4th, 2009 12:32:22 PM
It's too hard of a job to sit at a computer a few hours a day when you have a widdle scwatchy fwoat. The only real thing you contribute to this site anymore is the DVD reviews and you can't even handle that once a week task anymore. Must be too busy being given the questions and answers for your next Robert Rodriguez suckfest.
I would only look a script for a movie I'm anticipating by Arteska	Jul 4th, 2009 01:30:18 PM
If it was an adaptation of something I've already read or it was a movie I was plainly not planning to see. I get that seeing how a movie develops is interesting but it invites too much second guessing BEFORE you see it because then you develop your own biases for what should have been kept, dropped, more developed etc. instead of evaluating the choices that were made as a total. Instead stuff that goes through iterations (all scripts) get regarded as patchwork Frankensteins when in fact most creative work is done this way. Ugh long rant. Want to see this though and I agree with Zoidberg too. Damn kids.
A Tron CG cartoon series would be perfect by lockesbrokenleg	Jul 4th, 2009 02:24:39 PM
I'd watch it.
Enough! by mev186	Jul 4th, 2009 06:18:00 PM
...with the reboots, remakes, and sequels. Whatever happened to originality ?
Tron is boring by HagCeli	Jul 4th, 2009 06:42:28 PM
Never bothered to watch it to the end, even when I was a kid. A stale, plodding, style-over-substance movie that couldn't hold a candle to other popular films of the era. It totally puzzles me why anyone would continue or even remake it. Geez, it's 27 years old, there's hardly a fanbase. Leave it alone.
Hmm. I said the same thing about Firefly by lockesbrokenleg	Jul 4th, 2009 10:04:57 PM

The main plot point is from Sandra Bullock's "The Net" by darthkittens	Jul 4th, 2009 11:43:25 PM
Computers are being hacked left and right, forcing everyone to purchase a network security package. The hacks were instigated by the program's creator, who wants to take over the world. I think something as groundbreaking as Tron deserves better than a rehashed Sandra Bullock plot.
HagCeli + lockesbrokenleg by Talkbacker with no name	Jul 5th, 2009 02:02:23 AM
Hardly a Fanbase!? are you nuts!? you have no idea what you are talking about. Locke, that says a lot about you and why I think you are not well liked here. Your taste is horrible.
The original is a thing of dazzling beauty. by Dingbatty	Jul 5th, 2009 03:32:09 AM
The only major flaw is that is has two protagonists, and that Flynn didn't get the girl.
Tron is boring by ominus	Jul 5th, 2009 01:49:18 PM
because u fucking idiots we already live in the 'age of information'. computers,video games,virtual reality,world wide communincations,'teleportation ',AIs,programs who think,even the techno jargon,and all the rest of the things,they are now parts of our world culture,we are accustomed with all these things,they are part of our life. they they dont excite us anymore,they dont express something new or different,they are things we already know about,they are things we already live. but the friggin movie was made 20 years ago,and it gave to the geeks of then generation,na glimpse of the things to come. and when u r growing up and u see that with u,all these great things are happening,are becoming a reality,they grow together with you,then why is it so fucking strange to have a nostalgia love for that little movie?
My taste is horrible? by lockesbrokenleg	Jul 5th, 2009 03:07:56 PM
What the fuck do you like? You probably think Grindhouse is cool.
Dude... by xalener	Jul 5th, 2009 09:41:24 PM
Grindhouse WAS cool. It was funny as hell. It was exactly what it needed to be. Also, I've just turned 16 and am a HUGE fucking fan of tron. Excited about this.
Death Proof was excellent by LightninBolt	Jul 6th, 2009 04:06:31 AM
I have NO IDEA what the problem is with this film... TRON 2 will look great at least.
Wow, I don't think that guy's EVER been near a vagina... by Coughlins Laws	Jul 6th, 2009 10:59:00 PM
Holy shit. He made me not want to see that movie. Not because if might be bad. But because I might have to sit near someone like him...
Coughins Laws by xalener	Jul 6th, 2009 11:19:15 PM
This shit pisses me off. Just because someone knows a bit about the thought process that goes into scriptwriting (character invention, creation of events, shit like that) and has the ability to put in some constructive critisizm on it, it automatically means they're failures in life? What the fuck? This shit pisses me off. He does what he does. This stuped ass "get a life" shit. It's 2009. What IS a life anymore? Sports? Nothing more than a game. A job? Not a life. A distraction. A "soulmate"? The OPPOSITE of a life. Those fuckers KEEP you from living your life. What else is there? What the FUCK else is there? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Succumbing to our human instincts have become either illegal, socially unacceptable, or boring so fufilling our purpose as a species ain't happening. What can we do? Give and recieve entertainment. This guy's just making sure the entertainment is ENTERTAINING. What do you do? Make childish remarks about his virginity. Did it never occur to you that we are ALL lifeless nerds? What the fuck are you doing on this website anyway?
Due date? by delvarner	Jul 7th, 2009 11:13:47 AM
Has anyone seen a due date for this film's release?
The amount of detail this guy gets into proves he has no life. by Coughlins Laws	Jul 7th, 2009 01:23:06 PM
He's looked into this what he even admitted he doesn't know what the original intent of the first Tron was and is mad that Tron 2 isn't what he thinks it should be. This is the main problem with most of the people that come to this site. They are so extremely hypercritical and get mad at the creators of these properties to do whatever they want or go wherever they want with a script. Perfect example, Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, a perfectly fine summer popcorn movie. It had it's problems but it also had alot of what made the other movies work. And the problems people had with it weren't much different than problems with the other 2 sequels. However, some of these super-sensitive mega-nerds here were so outraged with it that they didn't let themselves enjoy it because it didn't play out exactly the way they thought it should. He's so invested in this playing out the way that he wanted it that his review turned out to be an entire waste of time. His tastes for what this movie should be is soooo specific to him that it's irrelevant to anyone but him. At least with Harry, he gives you all sorts of set up and you don't have to agree with his reviews to find out if you'll like the movie, too. But seriously, do you think any woman would date a guy who cares so much about a almost forgotten sci-fi movie from almost 30 years ago?
Almost forgotten? by Orcus	Jul 7th, 2009 02:38:06 PM
Tron like Blade Runner of the same year pretty much set the standard of the look and feel of a lot genre movies which still reverberate today. Granted it's not everybody's cup of tea but you cannot deny it's impact. Hardly forgotten indeed.
The problem with sequels by FuzzyLumpkins	Jul 8th, 2009 02:58:04 PM
is that they try to tell the best story for the first movie and, unless they fail, anything after that is a letdown.
I don' by Anna Valerious	Jul 8th, 2009 09:49:43 PM

I don't care as long.... by Anna Valerious	Jul 8th, 2009 09:50:46 PM
...as it has two gorgeous guys (Garrett Hedlund and Karl Urban) and the music of Daft Punk. Besides, I didn't think the original was so great. (BTW, in "Kingdom Hearts 2", they find out Tron is ticklish. Hee hee.)
Coughlins Laws by xalener	Jul 10th, 2009 03:37:37 PM
Again. What is life in the 21st century? What else is it but another fucking complicated waste of time? What is YOUR definition of life and how do you get one? It must be really fucking cool or something. I mean, everyone I know that claims they HAVE a life sound fucking misserable. All the "nerds" I know are prepetually happy. hmmmm.....
to follow up... by xalener	Jul 10th, 2009 03:38:51 PM
He stated many times how he'd excuse the flaws if the movie was still good enough. His thong IS NOT in a bunch.
