    LOL, no not that one. I enjoyed the original Movie, the sequel was only cool for the first 30 mins IMHO.

    I liked the sequel just wish it was made a reboot rather than a sequel considering the story added a bunch of stuff between the two most of it off screen and told in a flashback to alter the story line.

    I bought the original when it was rereleased on DVD and ugh....nostalgia made it better in memory but not in reality

    Funny how Nostalgia makes just about everything better.

    Power Rangers (Pre-Ninja), Sonic SatAM (Still much love for Sonic though) and:

    I learned I have anger management issues from battletoads.

    Honestly what I liked about Tron:Legacy was all Eye-Candy. Otherwise the story was a bit lacking. Eye-Candy is enough for a dvd sale :P

    Ouch, Power Rangers. Something are better left to nostalgia as tpatt100 said.

    Net Force?

    Tom Clancy's Net Force is based on a future (which incidentally, is now in our past) in which Internet usage takes place in the form of virtual reality, and computer experts use complex virtual realities as metaphors for digital security and forensics. It was beyond far-fetched, of course, while this take is very practical, by comparison.

    This is a pretty cool idea. I know I would enjoy work a little more if I were up moving around instead of just sitting behind a desk all day. I would imagine this concept could become stressful though. What if your network were under a full attack? Things would be blowing up left and right. It's bad enough when you see it on a computer screen, let alone when it looks like a terrorist attack. lol

    Now if the White House will only give the DoD money to actually build it.
