PING!

Ahhhhhh - nuthin' like kicking back and watching my favorite film again -

This thread is dedicated to TRON viewings. I actually haven't watched it in a few months myself. It felt good to watch it again tonight - LOVE this film!

I turn in to an 11 year old from 1982 again, EVERY time I watch it!

The story and concept still excite me.

The visuals are still amazing, beautiful and impressive as ever!

And of course, I STILL wish I could be digitized in to the computer myself!

My favorite scene was, as a kid, and is still the light cycle sequence - from the light cycle game grid to the chase by recognizers and tanks. In fact - I think I'm going to hit the game grid myself in after posting this - I could use some light cycle action!

Whenever YOU kick back with some of Allan's popcorn and view - make a post here and start it with a PING to let everyone know. Be honest now - don't ping in unless you've actually watched it again

Non-viewing posts and comments are more than welcome too. Just don't ping in the beginning of the post.

I think it will be interesting to see how often the TRON-Sector programs watch the film.

It's been five years since I last saw it. How I got introduce to Tron was through a game of laser tag on my 12th birthday. My dad picked Tron as his code name for the game (you HAD to pick one) and I asked him what it was about. He told me a little bit about the movie before shooting off his laser at me. So five years ago, I watched the movie. I thought it was pretty amazing at the time. It was also then when I didn't know half as much about computers as I do now. So it would be interesting to watch again with that knowledge.

Seems like it doesn't it Dave. Everytime I watch Tron. Or Any other films for that matter. In the back of my head I tend to start really analyzing it. Usually in the cases of How did they do that part or this part or those parts.. ANd think about it while I'm not looking at if later on. Kind of like make mental notes on things. I still enjoy the movie every time I've watched it. I've only seen Tron on the big screen Once. And that was when it came out on either 70 Millimeter film od the 35 millimeter film. Can't remember which format that I have seen it on. Cause it was way back when it first hit the Cinema's. I agree with you on it it will be as well one of my fvorites films of all times over here.

I've been lucky enough to see it several times on the big screen in both 70mm and 35mm in recent months, and every time I have loved it as much as the first time. I like the depth I can see in it nowdays. I pick up a little bit more each time I watch it. A lot of it is just little details, but I feel like I know these characters really well now. It is, and always will be, my personal favorite film.

PING!
yes, I remembered this thread.
anyway, I just recieved the 20th anniversary DVD for my creation date, and I promptly watched it. (well, after installing my new video card. w00t!)

ah... it has been too long scince I last saw this movie. I loved the ring game... the reco chase... the light cycles... it was great to get lost in this wonderful and magical world again.

End of Line!

I haven't watched for about a year, so I'm breaking the rule by posting, but I just had to comment on this one comment and say, "I'M NOT ALONE IN THE WORLD!!!"

Oops - almost forgot about your PING!

Felt GREAT, didn't it?

I'm glad you remembered to post your PING here!

I'm needing to figure out how to align the RGB guns, and fix the compressed picture it had. *sigh*, I hate TV problems. I'm afraid to open TVs up because I don't want to get electrocuted. Anybody know a safe way to dabble inside a TV?, please let me know. I hear the capacitors inside can carry a big jolt, even when unplugged (stored energy). EDIT: Just curious --> How in the world did this company get away with using "Tron" as their name? http://www.tron.com

I dunno..... but I find it funny.... there's a wee bit of Tron irony that comes with it.

As for the capacitors thing, have you tried grounding them? Maybe that might work......

[PING]
Watched my Tron DVD on my new Inspiron 5150 laptop. Looks great!
The interplay between the characters in that movie is priceless...

"I'm so very disappointed in you, Mr. Dillinger..."
"Greetings, programs!"
"It all looks so easy on the other side of the screen."

[clicks "Add This Message" and wonder how many programs are required to convey this message to his Tron-Sector friends]

PING! I last watched it (in full) earlier this year.

err ping?

Just watched my copy again, man I forgot how dynamic the music is, great stuf!

Quick question, I only have tron on a vhs copy....I'm going to remedy that....a few questions on the dvds. I've seen all kinds of different aspect ratios listed, and sound formats...so...on both the standard and anniversary edition what is the aspect ratio and what is the sound format (I'm pretty sure that its 5.1 dd). I hope its aspect ratio is 2.35:1 as its my favorite format

Traahn-- I've torn apart a few tv's Leave them unplugged for 30 minutes atleast before diving in, I've grounded the caps before and they do make a large bang. Maybe email me with the symptoms so we dont have a few huge off topic posts.
