A friend of mine just lent me the Tron 20th anniversary Edition DVD. I’ve got to say it’s pretty damn impressive and I’ve had a great time watching that movie again. It takes me back a long time. Even before I hated Disney (the Mermaid fucking DIES in the original story, you assholes!!!). Anyway, I think most IT people out there can relate. Back in our childhood, there were a bunch of geeky movies that I think inspired us all. They were bad, yes, but we were kids and what could be more amazing and intellectually challenging than a robotic dog, a walnut-shaped relativity-defying spaceship with a lousy sense of humor, or a hacker that could very well destroy the world but saves it by making a computer solve riddles? I mean, those were the times!

…

Boy, did we have bad taste.

…

Tron wasn’t that crappy, though.

…

Tron was cool. Yeah.
