The Incomparable! – #15: My Computer Is Powered by Frisbees

Greetings, programs! It’s time to talk about “Tron” and the new sequel, “Tron Legacy.” Also, what’s the appropriate use of CGI? When should creators go back and use computers to “improve” their work? And does Jeff Bridges’ CGI doppelganger fall right into the middle of the Uncanny Valley

The Incomparable Participants: Jason Snell, Dan Moren, John Siracusa, and Serenity Caldwell, with pre-credits guest appearance from Greg Knauss.

  2. TRON Legacy

    28 years ago, TRON gave us a story of a “user” incarnating as a program in the computer world demonstrating amazing powers and sacrificially saving and transforming that world, then rising in a beam of light. Biblical parallels of religious oppression, atheism and a much-needed salvation from beyond were thinly veiled and metaphorically messy, so the question emerges: where will they go now?

    TRON Legacy continues the franchise’s pixelated messianic motif, as the son of the digital world’s creator “incarnates” in his Father’s realm to seek and save the lost. Pastor James shows how the story mirrors the human condition: how Kevin Flynn parallels culture’s view of abdicating fathers and our distorted view of God, our heavenly father.

    Film and Theology teaches how to engage all stories for edification, evangelism, and God’s glory.

    "In honour of the fact that Daft Punk have composed the music for the new TRON: Legacy movie (which is out today) and also because of the fact that I’ve been at home with my arm in a sling all week, I decided to create an homage to the rocking robotic duo."
