Watched both the Tron movies back to back, still love them a lot.

Disappointed Daft Punk broke up and was looking forward to Tron Ares with them.

Still I'm glad the franchise is making a third movie, hopefully they create a strong villain and the soundtrack is enjoyable.

Aren't Daft Punk robots? Can't we just build some more?

I love Bit. It's the one element from the original that feels sorely absent in the sequel. Why wasn't it included? Even now, computers are really just trillions of binary yes/no responses all smushed together. Bit is the purest expression of that.

Bit made no sense. Everything in a program and in data is made of bits. If you were making a movie about humans, would you for some inexplicable reason have a cell floating around outside the body? Besides, it's poor screenwriting that Bit didn't make any difference whatsoever in the movie (you could have taken it out completely and nothing would have changed) and worse, Bit just disappears after Flynn crashes the Recognizer. It's never seen again or even referred to in the movie. It's a violation of Chekov's Gun. Bit serves no purpose.

I think the larger problem is that nothing in the movie's digital world makes sense. But whatever entertainment value is there is a virtue. YMMV.

I like both movies, but I have to admit, I was a little disappointed that Legacy moved away from the more abstract imagery of the Grid in the first movie, and went with a more realistic looking city and world. I understand why they did it, but I still think it would have been cool if they had found a way to keep at least a little bit of that style in Legacy.

Honestly, I loved the visual shift because it indicated that CLU had such influence. It was so interesting.

Oxygene was one of the first LP's I purchased way back in the 1970's. Along with Going For The One by Yes, Deep Purple's Machine Head and Rainbow Rising.

I have a number of Jarré's other albums. I thought he was well known in the states - his Houston gig was a mass event :

You’ll love Patrick O’Hearn

I'll check him out.

Have a look at Kebu - he does a bunch of fantastic covers from albums and soundtracks, plus his own material :

I liked the light cycles better when they were 2-D and only turned at 90 degree angles.

Bit also had three states...which makes it not a bit...and makes not a bit of sense.

I blame D-Wave

True. Bits are based on 1 and 0, on and off. The bit in Tron was more 1, 0, and -1.

A bit is really more like OFF and ON, which are interpreted as 0 and 1, so a third state makes zip sense. Half-on?
