Ugh. I'm going to grow to hate this movie while I go back to work at the theatre, which is sad cause I really want to like it since its my kinda movie and since I liked the original.
I cant wait till I get all those people that never really cared about TRON and only watched the original in the last month or so so they could watch this one and feel like they're part of the crowd that actually likes (and more then likely loves) this movie... you could probably call it a series now, but I would wait till it has at least three movies under its belt before I called anything a series.
Or the people who didnt bother to watch he original, are going to watch this, feel they know everything and walk out with that smug look on their face and try and talk a big game with me about how much they know about the movies and how big of a fan they are.
Yes.. I have fury when it comes to bandwagoning to things when I loved them first, and dont need to douches now who wnat ot be cool cause they know this is what everyone's going ot be talking about. Cause the same people that see this that are like that are the same people that went and say The Expendables instead of Scottie P.
But yeah, I'm going ot go see it later this week (during a week day before all the kids in my area get off for winter/christmas [Lets not kid ourselves here] break) so hopefully I dont hate the movie before then.
Band-wagoning is one thing, but for people like me, who didn't even know the original Tron existed before seeing the trailer for the sequel, there's not the option to have liked it before. It's not mainstream, so it's pretty ridiculous to say people who haven't heard of it or watched the original movie more than a year before now are just getting in on the fad.
I think you're being very elite-ist. Do you expect people to come out of the theatre having enjoyed the movie and say 'yeah, that was awesome, but having only watched the original three hours ago I'm in no position to comment as to the series' themes and enjoyability.'
Get off of your high horse and accept that people can have a good time and not know everything about obscure movies you think you're more entitled to.
OT: I'm really looking forward to seeing Tron. It's shiny and big budget and has beautiful people doing wacky things in it whilst looking shiny. Daft Punk me up!
