Tron

Sometimes, people have good ideas.


They may be the best film concept ever. However, sometimes things may not go entirely according to plan.


Someone thought that by combining two fun things, you would get something even more fun. While this may work with a weasel and a rocket (I've not personally tried it), the promise of a film where people are put inside a "video game" is something which had many people crossing their legs with excitement. Most of those people are now dead, but that's not the point. Normal people were also interested. Thus, the idea of Tron was born. Did it work?

No.

The story of Tron is that some socially retarded programmer guy has his ideas stolen by some even more socially retarded programmer guy, who makes a lot of money with them. In looking for proof that this happened, socially retarded programmer guy #1 is accidentally brought into the computer network, or a video game, or some virtual world and forced to play video games to survive and find evidence. SO HOW THE FLYING FUCK DID THEY MAKE IT SO GODDAMN BORING?!?


Was it because computers took five hours to open a word document? Is that what Tron is trying to simulate? The games were boring, the plot actually didn't make any sense, and the bad guy is the computer world itself (or something) and in all honesty, probably spent ten hours crashing before attacking. I don't know, I fell asleep halfway through - AND I'M A FREAKING INSOMNIAC. I HOPE TRON IS FUCKING HAPPY THAT IT'S MESSING IN GOD'S DOMAIN. If you can put an insomniac to sleep, you must have some greater power. Therefore, MAKE A GODDAMN DECENT MOVIE! Oh wait, they're fresh out of them.


The other day, my brother told me that they were making a sequel. I hope that everybody in the original film died and they rewrote it with new characters. That would be funny. Actually, I dream that they'll scrap the idea and make Pong the Movie. That would be good.

Now THAT'S cinema!
