Kingdom Hearts 2 - Now With Tron
Much anticipated sequel to the original Square-Enix/Disney collaboration just became even more interesting. 1up.com has confirmed that Kingdom Hearts 2 will feature a Tron world, based on the 1982 Disney film. From the article: "As you can see in a scan posted in this thread, Goofy, Donald and that cutie Sora are fully decked out in the duds of the Master Control Program universe, as well as Mr. Kevin Flynn himself, Jeff Bridges. Having the crew of Kingdom Hearts tackle a world based on a live-action film is nothing new to this sequel as a world based on Pirates of the Caribbean, complete with a seriously detailed Johnny Depp has long since been revealed."
And while it's certainly dated, I think both the story and the effects have held up remarkably well considering how old it is. There's plenty of movies since that can't say as much.
Linux, you magnificent bastard, I read the fucking manual!
I just wish I'd never watched it again. I barely remember the movie, but watching it as an adult really was a bad move. Same with The Last Starfighter. I had such fond memories of both. And sure, they were great at the time. But that was 20+ years ago each.
It would be nice to have modern versions (not remakes, just comparable modern movies for this generation that were in the same sort of vein as those movies from 80-84). Hell, I remember this great movie about this guy's (Apple?) that got jealous of him and tried to take revenge on him and his girlfriend and eventually the computer gave up and committed suicide. It was AWESOME. Even today, it's still great. I think it was based on a book. Either that, or I just happened to read a book that was similar, too. But they don't make movies like that anymore, either.
Wargames holds up, by far, better than all of them, though.
