http://www.tronsequel.com/wordpress An attempt to influence the upcoming Tron sequel and all Tron sequels to come Thu, 26 Mar 2009 00:57:54 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I've been watching Tron for the 703rd time or so recently and have noticed many things, but here are a few sequel ideas that crossed my mind: So, the movtivation behind these ideas is that maybe 25 years ago programs looked something like these circuit board suits in the original, but ... http://www.tronsequel.com/wordpress/2009/03/25/sequel-idea-7/ This new section on 'Novelization notes' is going to be seriously dorky and not full of ad hominem attacks on the upcoming sequel production. One weird thing about this book is that there is a BUNCH of words I don't know. Like what is a "vembrace"? I don't know if they ... http://www.tronsequel.com/wordpress/2009/03/24/chapter-1-notes/ This is some exciting news. A friend of mine picked this up for me for a dollar. I've never read a "novelization", but I flipped through it, and the dialogue is straight out of the script. BUT there are some significant differences. I'm going to start a new category for ... http://www.tronsequel.com/wordpress/2009/03/24/check-out-what-i-got/ I've calmed down since I wrote my last couple posts, so this one probably won't have any caps lock and cursing like last time. I want to start off with a more secularized take on what I was talking about last time: the Tron spirit. Today I want to look ... http://www.tronsequel.com/wordpress/2009/03/23/essential-properties-for-a-tron-sequel/ When ending the last post about the "Tron spirit", I realized that that is exactly the problem: the creators of the sequel need to stop watching Fast and Furious, and all those movies starring The Rock and sit down and close your eyes and get in touch with THE FUCKING ... http://www.tronsequel.com/wordpress/2009/03/22/the-tron-spirit/ I regret to inform you that it is possible that Daft Punk will be creating the soundtrack for the upcoming Tron sequel. This isn't in any way a jab at Daft Punk. But this is ABSOLUTELY FUCKING DISASTROUS NEWS for the prospects of the Tron sequel. I can't tell you ... http://www.tronsequel.com/wordpress/2009/03/22/daft-punk-please-wake-up-please-wake-up/ My cover has been blown. A student of mine announced to the entire class that I had a Tron website. (So what if I have a Tron website? What's the big deal? Somebody must run Tron websites, why not me? Should I be embarrassed about it? I'd like to see ... http://www.tronsequel.com/wordpress/2009/03/17/message-to-my-students/ I'm a little late to respond to this news, but there is a terrible 3 minute cam clip from the Tron sequel movie available here. It is evident that my message has not been received. I will tell you what is going to happen to this movie: it is going ... http://www.tronsequel.com/wordpress/2008/08/19/tron-teaser/ Hey Tron people! (the people making the movie, Steve Lisberger, etc.) This is another plea to not make a Tron movie like the original, comic, computer game. If you do, then you will have passed up a MASSIVE opportunity, an opportunity that i will try to outline below. But before ... http://www.tronsequel.com/wordpress/2008/05/29/tron-as-video-game-culture-zeitgeist/ Maybe someone can help me with this, but I don't understand the scene where Flynn tells Tron about what it is like to be a user. If my memory serves me correctly (and it should because I have seen Tron on the order of about 500 times) Tron says to ... http://www.tronsequel.com/wordpress/2008/01/24/according-to-a-plan/
