The Legacy of Tron in Tron: Legacy


I'm writing this as I watch a commercial during Saturday Night Live of a dog jump for a Bud Light in a pool. It's not much more then that. A dog. Jumping. Pool. Getting tanky!

Now it's a Green Hornet commercial... now an IPhone commercial... ah, I can't keep up! It's ok, I forgive you.

So I understand that lady who plays Sarah Palin is hosting tonight—and she's in the family way. As she and that person who feels the need to sing every time she's on the television set like she's Whitney Houston.

Oh, ha ha! They're doing a topical subject now: the Republican Debate! Ha ha!

But I digress.

Ok, Newt just ran off the stage. Eh.

Anyway, back to the subject of this post: Tron: Legacy. My lady friend and I watched that on the DVD tonight and I'm wondering just what happened!? The tomatometer says 50% so I guess I'm not alone!

Ha, the Donald is hitting on the Palin! That's naughty! Ok, seriously, this skit is stupid. No, really. I'm done for the moment being weird in this blog; this show is painful to watch. Oh thank god another commercial. FOR HEARTBURN! HAHA HA eh.

What was I talking about?

Tron: Legacy follows the '80s smash-hit: Tron. A dictionary defines legacy as:
  1. Law: a gift of property, especially personal property, as money, by will; a bequest.
  2. anything handed down from the past, as from an ancestor or predecessor: the legacy of ancient Rome.
  3. an applicant to or student at a school that was attended by his or her parent.
Now, unless the zombie of Walt Disney had Tron in his gift of property, then it's either the second or third point. I doubt it's the third, since I didn't see a law school anywhere in the city! Or Tron land! So it's the second: it was something handed down from the past.

Oh my lordy, Michael Bolton is singing about that Disney movie! Wow, those tentacles are everywhere!

Seriously I need to wrap this up.

Back to Pong: Part Deux: the story is as such:

The guy from the first movie disappeared some time ago and his son is all like "ha ha I got daddy issues and I live in a garbage dump but it's ok cause I have hair and a motorcycle and a dog!"

So, son does something which has nothing to do with anything.

Then son finds dad's special hole in the wall and goes in. (I feel dirty for having typed that.) Anyway, he goes in dad's hole and gets sucked into the light.

LONG STORY made short he meets dad and dad's special lady friend (but not dad's special lady friend, if you know what I mean!).

So dad, son and the looker save the world? (Tron world? Our world? WHOA! METAPHYSICAL OR SOMETHING!) Son and eyeliner ride on his motorcycle and she smells his hoody the end.

Now some lady is singing on Sunday Morning Live so I'm going to wrap this up. God speed.
