Nostalgia

'Tron' at Cinerama

Step one: Purchase ticket from underpaid Cinerama staffer. Step two: Retreat to vehicle in order to... uh, put yourself in the proper frame of mind. Step three: Return to theater, take a seat up front, and get ready to watch Tron—yes, Tron!—the way it needs to be seen, in its full 70 mm cinematic glory. "Take that program to the holy pit!" (Cinerama, 2100 Fourth Ave, 441-3080. Noon, $7.25–$8.25.)

Tron sucked when I first saw it when it came out and I can only imagine REALLY sucks now.

Star Wars sucks too and we love it. So what? Groundbreaking, and it has Lebowski and Scarecrow in it. I'm jealous I don't live in Seattle to see it.

I was JUST watching the Tron vs. Depeche Mode video. Weird.

When Tron first came out I believed that one day I would own a Light Bike and ride it to work. 26 years later I'm sadly disappointed with modern transportation.

It's "holding pit," you uncultured Philistine.

My favorite aspect of Tron is that, shortly after its release, I sold all my Coca-Cola stock and bought Disney stock. Tron had driven it to a 52-week low and people, for the first time, wondered if the good Disney ship and crew was in peril. It seemed a good time to buy.

As you may know, things looked up thereafter.

Thank you, Tron.
