Movie Monday: TRON

I knew deep down that at some point in my life I had seen TRON before, but since my most recent memory of the movie stems from my playthrough of Kingdom Hearts last year, I didn't know what all I was expecting.
What I do know is that the story may be a little weak, especially with how much is widely known about computers in current times, but the effects are still pretty well done. I can say that the inside of a computer never seemed so inviting until I was watching this. Well, not so much inviting since it was so deadly, but definitely good looking.
Having Jeff Bridges playing the main character of the movie doesn't hurt either. Even though I kept thinking about The Dude, I really think him being Flynn is really what makes the movie watchable. Having him back for the recently announced sequel is enough to get me back into the theater to see it.
I hope that the sequel focuses on a Nigerian computer manned by an evil scammer who sends spam e-mail throughout the interwebs and Flynn is forced to come up with an awesome e-mail filter program who smashes spam left and right. The climax of the movie will come when the deposed Nigerian prince finds a loophole in the internet and takes over every website, forcing Flynn (and Tron too) to fight their way all the way through pop-up porns and click here to win a Wii banners in order to restore order to the wild world of the world wide web.
...Yeah, that movie would reek of awesomeness.
