The original Tron is still a gorgeous movie, but watching it now as someone who understands computers, I find it very difficult to watch, since it makes absolutely 0 sense.

Which now makes me want to make a video similar to this, only using Bit instead of a Rolly.

Why does "dance" generally equal "busy drums"?

Hmm, sounds like generic, budget label techno by bedroom DJs to me. I can't imagine if this movie had come to fruition that the soundtrack when have been released with that track listing.

Why would it be in the Won't See category at all? IT'S TRON!

Wow, to think I could have dancing to that Journey remix at the Paladium in the summer of 1998.
