Tron 2 was really good -
I don't like the first one. It's way too 80's kitsch, and it's too long, and takes way too long to get anywhere. The only reason I can watch it is Jeff Bridges, because he's fun to watch in any movie he's in.
I haven't been able to get the movie out of my head, especially the scene where the son goes back to the arcade for the first time in years. It was the exact same set, same machines, just dusty. When he got to the secret office and laser, I was hoping for a time machine.
I knew it wouldn't be, but I wanted it to. The way they did that scene, and even the damn music they were playing was so perfect - Journey is so painfully 80's.
I guess I just want that really bad. I want to put a quarter into an arcade game time machine and travel back to the eighties. Corny movies, punk rock, and everything else. A place and time where no one knows me, and where I'd probably fit in a hell of a lot better. Erase myself from the present and start somewhere where no one could ever find me.
There's nothing here for me anymore.
