Rageaholic Monkey posted:TRON Legacy was loving great and a feast for the senses but I don't know how they could do something else like that without having it feeling like a retread. It had such a unique style to it. It was, to me at least, more iconic than the original in every way. I still listen to Daft Punk's score from it regularly. Not sure if they could recapture that kind of magic again for me. Yeah it was like Heavy Metal but in a computer. I wish I had seen it more than once in theaters.

Aside from the Daft Punk score my favorite thing about Legacy was Michael Sheen in maximum scenery-chewing glory beneath his bishounen fuckboi wig and makeup. A future Tron movie could benefit a lot from more of that kind of irreverent levity applied to a computer world, especially if they hope to invoke the internet in the same way that Wreck-It Ralph 2 promises.

If they're being asked to be in a film, then they of course would only want to represent themselves positively.

Does anyone have that article about this? I remember aside from the refusal to give assistance, there was also stuff like refusing to allow certain movies to be played for the benefit of military service members because the content angered the brass. Like the word-for-word quotes from high ranking military officials in Thirteen Days or some Clint Eastwood movie where an American soldier shoots someone who has surrendered. My favorite story was about how in the the 50s or so they got really upset about a film that was "black fighter pilot and jewish fighter pilot overcome racism to become heroes in WW2" and they watered it down to "a black fighter pilot and a jewish fighter pilot fly some sorties with the full support of their white colleagues"

Interestingly enough, the new Tron movie is presumably entirely because of the Chinese market. Shanghai Disneyland is opening soon and their major attraction is a state-of-the-art Tron lightcycle ride. That was planned and designed back when the last movie was in production.

Also, I dunno why they don't have people just call her the Major in the film. People rarely used her actual name in the series.

A good recent one to bring up is how the military completely refused to let The Hurt Locker use any actual equipment or locations or provide any sort of expert consultation because of its anti-war message. Because then after it won Best Picture the one big  against its portrayal of the war on terror was that the technical details of the way it portrayed things like bomb defusals and sniper duels were totally inaccurate and it's like gee, now whose fault is that?

The army can't shut down your war movie no matter how hard they hate it, they just won't help you make it and it's very difficult and expensive to procure all that sweet hardware without their help. It's super tempting to make a few little changes to the script when they're willing to throw all the equipment you need at you in exchange for making them look good. Pentagon Wars was a smart way to portray the huge levels of incompetence and graft that goes on in military equipment procurement because it's a process that largely takes place in board rooms, offices and design studios. All they needed was one Bradley and some uniforms really, and that hardly breaks the bank.
