	I saw "TRON" this weekend; it is a terrible movie.  It involves the viewer emotionally as much as a "Beverly Hillbillies" rerun.  The acting is wooden, except for Jeff Bridges, who plays the protagonist as a warmed over Harrison Ford with a dash o

   From what I have read on the net, it seems I have something to offer to
readers in netland.  There is a video game out in arcades now called TRON.
A friend told me to go drop a few dollars in the game and learn how to play
it before going to see the movie.  The movie is supposed to make more sense
this way. I haven't seen the movie yet, so I don't know if it true or not.
I did play the game though, and it is very amusing.  It follows TRON's theme
in that it is a contest between human and computer, with the human have a lot
of flexibility and the computer performing defined functions. I recommend the
game to anyone who has seen TRON or is thinking of seeing TRON.
 
P.S. There is no need to flame this article, saying it is not a movie review,
because it does relate to the movie and it was the only logical place for it.

Regarding the Japanese credits: with all the rotoscoping that had to be
done, I understand that most of it was done in Japan, thus the Japanese
credits.  Those are ostensibly the credits for the cast of thousands
of cell painters who laboriously hand-painted those glowing strips
on the costumes.  The live action was shot through heavy filters
and then rotoscoped and optically printed together with the other
stuff.  It was interesting about the first 3 minutes, but really
another example of its fraudulent computerism.
