just got back from a midnight screening of the most awesome movie ever. and by most awesome i don’t mean best, or even good, just most AWESOME. what am i talking about? no, not those damn snakes, unless by snakes you mean the original snakes game, which in movie-speak you know that means the lightcycles of tron!
i loved this film as a kid. i even remember reading (and rereading) the novelization, which filled in all of the subtle plot nuances that you didn’t pick up from the film version. right. if nothing else, it was great to see it on the big screen, in a 70mm print at the castro (ann arborites: think the sf version of the michigan theatre) amongst all of the retronerds.
“bring in the logic probe!”

“i’ve had the same experience at the el capitan theater and was also overwhelmed by the sheer tron-osity. every man, woman and child in america should have the experience of wieving this film in 70mm.
best line: “i don’t even balance my checkbook on company time, i have an abacus for that at home.”
great posts about your asia trip, btw”
ok, i think that was it!
