I plan to see it (TRON) with Pappa in a week :pbjt:

But in summary what I have heard is that it is an awesome music video and an okay movie, but it's worth seeing especially if you go in just expecting to see neat stuff :mrgreen:

great movie!

But they crap on films now by putting in stupid scenes that only work in 3D, to show off the effects. In 2D it just drags out scenes with apparently nothing much going on.

Black Swan.

Natalie Portman is amazing in this, she should be in the running for a best actress award.

Also, a very hot lesbian sex scene in there too with Mila Kunis. :tup:

Just saw The Tourist. Not terribly challenging or engaging and relied too much on Angelina Jolie's beauty, which, IMO, is pretty sparse to begin with.

Got the new Tron up next. Never saw the first one, tho.

The first one will be very funny after seeing the second one, I think. The effects were primarily done with suits equipped like Mai's jogging vest. The jump from live action to animated can be jarring at time. It was an important part of the Tron Drinking Game.

Drinking Games are just excuses to get hammered. You set the rules to maximize opportunities to take a drink.
