Made more or less this point at the time. As a movie? Eh, it was fine. As a Daft Punk music video? Easily their best.
My personal preference is Interstella 5555 is Daft Punk's best music video. Edit: Jinx! Gracana beat my reply to an 11 hour old comment by four minutes.
I'm aware of and like it, but prefer TRON. De gustibus non est disputandum.
As an aside the Daft Punk soundtrack that accompanies this film is an absolute masterpiece. I think it's their best work. It's such a shame the film doesn't live up to it's own soundtrack.

> something like CVE-1999-0113 (or its very recently discovered/disclosed friend CVE-2026-24061) Interesting that you remember CVEs by ID and how they relate one to another. Do you know if they are visualization of CVEs? I'm wondering if that would help newcomers to security to get some memorable insights.

Tron 1 for the plot, Tron 2 for daft punk, Tron 3... we don't talk about.

Tron 3 would be fine if not for the main character. Every other character/performance is great IMO, and the Trent Reznor soundtrack. The main performance was just incredibly bad, which sinks the whole movie.
This is something that really upset me going into Tron Ares. I had a blast rewatching Legacy beforehand and picking out somewhat realistic shell commands. Ares ditches a lot of these shell commands in favor of everything being a script. `./start_ares_program`, etc. IIRC, we still see a `systemctl` or two in the movie, but definitely less fun than Legacy.
this makes me remember Trinity doing the power plant escalation hack in the 2nd Matrix movie the code apparently was legit, I think it was an SSH exploit (btw that movie is TWENTY-SEVEN YEARS OLD)

Feel free to be as smug as you went while your brand fades to irrelevance. I'm telling you what will happen, not what should happen.
The first two words of the first comment are “You should” then your follow up grammatically evaluates to “I’m not telling you what should happen”.
All they did is point out that suggesting people should post to YouTube exacerbates the network effects you allude to.

I actually liked TRON 3 quite a bit more than I suspected I would. I had read many negative reviews about the film before finally breaking down and watching it (I needed a TRON fix). IMHO, it was a lot more fast paced than TRON 2, which made it more enjoyable in that aspect. I even liked Jared Leto's performance. The only real issue I had with the film was the news report referring to TRON as a video game, which it d…
I also thought the terminal usage was neat. The movie starts with a sudo command. I also think I saw PyTorch.

The artist, JT Nimoy, was an Emacs user but still thought it would be fun to set up a dichotomy--some fun details on this blog. A few more details were shared at a talk at an HN meetup several years ago. https://jtnimoy.cc/item.php%3Fhandle=14881671-tron-legacy.ht...
> The artist, JT Nimoy, was an Emacs user but still thought it would be fun to set up a dichotomy--some fun details on this blog I don't see any details about setting up a dichotomy in that article (just that the author was a happy Emacs user). Or maybe that was in that HN meetup you mention?
