Tron 2 - Motor-light-cycle awesomeness

[Monster Dave]

Yeah, they brought back the original TRON himself. That's pretty cool and easy to overlook if you don't remember the original film very clearly.

Olivia Wilde makes me feel funny 

She looks Hawt in that getup

[duccarlos]

She looks hot dressed in a fat suit.

[Speedbag]

Yeah, she's just hot.

Fun fact (well, for me) about the new flick:

At some point in the movie there is a scene involving an old sit-down "Discs of Tron" video game. Said game belongs to a friend of mine, who is an avid coin-op game collector. I guess there aren't many of these particular units left, and somehow the studio got hold of him and he loaned them the game. Not sure if he was paid much of anything, but he got to travel to see a bunch of the filming and got a shitpile of Tron goodies.

That's awesome! Did he get to meat Jeff Bridges?

i really hope you meant "meet."

[duccarlos]

Nice.

[Speedbag]

Indeed.

Not sure who he met, he never really said now that you mention it. He was more excited about his game being in a movie.

Whats your friend name? Yeah the sit down is extremely rare. I knew someone who had one as well.
I use to collect many of the coin ops. I had a Tron at one point. My friend has a few of the Stand Up DoT. I currently only have a Star Wars XY Standup.

I just hope they come out with a good name to accompany the movie. Generally games based on movies suck, but a game based on a movie based on a game?

The Tron games came after the movie.

Actually, I think it would be: a movie based on a movie that resulted in a game which later resulted in another game. 

[duccarlos]

But in the movie, isn't the world within a game?

Oh yeah, sure, if I remember correctly.  But then when you say, "...but a game based on a movie based on a game?" is using "game" in two different ways.  The game based on a movie is a real game based on a real movie.  The movie based on a game is a real movie based on a fictional game.  In other words, originally it was a story element of a script.  Tron was not a movie based on a game the way Super Mario Bros was a movie based on a game.

No, it's just a general computer 'realm' - the lightcycle races were concepted as how a game being played would be rendered in that world. The world was a sort of a network - the whole concept was pretty far forward looking
