TV/Movies Megathread

[Duque de Bragança]

Not a disaster of epic proportions such as Episode I but nothing special

So, 20 years from now, it's going to be a classic masterpiece with genre defining moment.  Got it.

No, that's Tron: Legacy.

Tron Ares it's one of those "fuck I'm old" movies - it made me realize it's been 15 years since Tron:Legacy.

Incidentally, I'm surprised to see how fondly Tron:Legacy is looked upon, but I guess it's old enough that it qualifies as nostalgia for a lot of people. I remember it being very pretty, but very boring. Also one of the "pioneers" on using terrible CGI deaging, just for the sake of it.

Kickass soundtrack, though. Always fire it up when playing sci-fi games (it's a Stellaris staple).

You think you are old, I saw the original Tron on release in the movie theatre and took my kids to Legacy.

I re-watched the first few episodes of Veep. It seems quaint these days.

(And the insanity of the last two or so seasons not as far fetched anymore.)

When I watched some of it again last year, it did feel a bit more prophetic. Agree it would not have worked to put out in our current climate as it would have been like and so? If anything look how tame she was...

I was too little when it came out, but my mother loved it and bought me a "novelization for kids" with plenty of stills from the movie which I devoured avidly. I wonder if it's still stashed somewhere...

I took her to Tron Legacy and now I'll take her to Tron Ares. The movie's probably not very good, but mother-son bonding rules.

Well yeah. Unfortunately prophetic not just in hilarious ways like Mike's hair dye running down his face during a press conference.

Funny, I was listening to a random ambient sci-fi playlist on Spotify, and Solar Sailer came up:

I was left really confused, because I liked the song and was sure it was part of the Stellaris soundtrack. Guess I know now where Andreas Waldetoft borrowed some inspiration from. (Stellaris still has maybe the best Paradox soundtrack, at least in its early years. )

Yeah, it's such a great synth ambient score. Daft Punk
