Having seen TRON for the first time last nite, I am now ready to discuss it.

Yes, the acting isn't the best--but its ok.  Given the difficulty of working
in an environment totally divorced from the major data inputs for the actors
(sets, etc), the acting wad pretty good.

Yes, the plot is weak.  But so what--it is good enough to be minimally
believeable.  At least it HAD a plot, and it was internally consistant and
carried thru the entire film consistently.

Yes, the computer graphics were great.  I haven't enjoyed anything so much in
a long time.

So, what am I going to flame about??


FLAME ON	FLAME ON	FLAME ON	FLAME ON	FLAME ON


Having gotten enough of the pseudomystical religious nonsense from the churchs,
the "fair" press we have, TV "ministers" and all sorts of other worthless
huchsters, I had intended to have a nite of pure enjoyment.  What I got instead
was the Judeo-Christian savour myth, served up in an asinine setting.  Do a bit
of substitution:
	user		christ
	program		person
	MCP		devil
	io channel	church	(fuzzy here, I can't remember what they called
				the place where the old man was.)
	computer	universe
And you are back in sunday school, being told to swallow all that guff we were
all fed as children.  I am afraid that I had come to expect a lot more from
Disney, and stopped seeing thier movies a few years ago when I stopped seeing it.
I was hoping TRON was better, but appearently somebody sold out to Falwell &
crowd.

I would like to here this subject debated over the net because I am becomming
increasingly concerned about the seemingly great rise in (what I see as) the
dangerous trends of repression engendered by the "Moral Majority" types.  If
free people are to remain free, the atmosphere must be kept clear or EVERYONE
trying to restrict personal liberties.  The fact that--should I want one--I may
have to go to ridiculous extents to get a Playboy or Hustler makes me nervous.

Well, enough for now.
