OMG.

I was a teenager, went to the movie with friends having NO idea what it was about.  Became an all time FAVORITE.

A sequel? How is that pOssIble?

I've never seen this movie?  Heard of Tron, never seen it though.

Oh.  Wow, I had no idea.  I actually got goosebumps at 1:32 in the trailer.  Jeff Bridges!  A sequel versus a remake (seems like everything is getting remade lately)!  I can't wait to see this.  Thanks, Denny!

And it's been such a long time since I've seen the original in it's entirety.  I need to schedule myself a refresher session.

Yeah, I've been watching the progress on this one and am very psyched! Loved the first one in 1982 as a teenager!

I was seven or eigth when I saw the original, it definitively had something to do with me choosing computer science in college :)

Most of the original cast is in the movies, and the good news is that it is directed by the guy (whose name escapes me) who did the first one  :tan:

I haven't even started looking.  It's just one of those things I plan to do between now and when the sequel releases when the mood strikes me.  I know I've seen it air on cable a couple of times within recent months, but I either tuned in near the end or started watching in bed and fell asleep before it was over, so I absolutely want a chance to watch it again from start to finish.  Unless I see it air again, I suppose I could snatch a copy of an older re-release from one of the big online retailers or even hold off untl the inevitable re-re-release that will be bound to occur as part of the great build-up that the marketing machine will undoubtedly set into motion.

As far as rentals, I'm sure it can be found through Blockbuster or Netflix.
