You remember TRON, right? Jeff Bridges is a computer programmer reduced to scamming on teenagers from his loft above the video arcade (remember when you had to GO SOMEWHERE DANK AND SMELLY if you wanted to play video games??) because he got fired from his cush job designing games like STAR INVADERS and BLASTEROODS.

Heehee. Thank you!

Knowing what you know about my movie tastes, should I see it?

Boy I don't know! It's not a bloody movie, but there's a fair amount of violence in it. The villains spend most of their energy doing cruel things to innocent people out of either hatred or greed. I think it's a pretty fair bet that there are a couple of parts you'll wish you hadn't seen. If those parts are enough to make the whole thing a no-go... I just don't know. Sorry. :(

I loved it! I don't have a problem with movie violence, actually, I think I have trouble with movie ugliness. There was nothing pretty about Dark Knight. Also, it was boring. Avatar was gorgeous! And yes, it is a known story, but not a bad one. It's been done a billion times because we like it.

I'm glad I went to see it. And in 3D! If only we could have seen it in IMAX, too, but alas, the theater here couldn't get an IMAX copy.

Do you think is a coincidence that one of my captcha words (for posting, because apparently I wasn't logged in) is "Cameron"?
