Interview with Tron Creator Steven Lisberger

Posted by michael on from the glow-in-the-dark dept.

NeoCode writes "AintItCool has posted an interesting interview with the Tron creator Steven Lisberger. He doesn't talk much about the sequel Tron 2.0 (because of a Disney gag order) but he reflects about the original movie with nostalgia. He talks about what influenced Tron and what Tron meant (and still does) to people. Have a read."

    I just want everyone to know that I am gay.

    Gosh, that's nice. And by publically announcing it, you have just ruined any and all chances you have at real career advancement or job development. I can assure you that any resume that crosses my desk with your name on it is going straight to the shredder and the same is probably true for hundreds of other hiring managers that read Slashdot.

    Enjoy your "alternate lifestyle."

    ... when I was about 8 or so years old I saw tron - and at night I used to go to sleep praying that god would give me one of those bars that turned into the motorcycles from that one scene where they were racing in the grid (cant remember it too well now). I would awaken in the morning and look under my bed - but no magical motocycle rod was to be found. I did this for weeks after seeing that movie.

    This happens a lot in advanced cases of child abuse and rape. Your mind is screaming at you to run away from your broken home where your mother beats you and your father beats off onto you. You needed to tell a friend or a schoolteacher, not wish for a magical motorbike to save you.
