    Is this like making ever more Tron movies even though they’re (apparently, haven’t watched any) all terrible?

      The movie TRON is a cult classic, so I don’t think of it as good or bad. The sequels are bad movies, but I’m convinced that they’re actually great visual albums. The soundtracks to both Tron: Legacy and Tron: Ares rock. Daft Punk and NIN did great jobs respectfully. The movies are a visual telling of those albums, which almost always comes across as a bad movie. I didn’t expect to see a good movie when I saw Tron: Ares but I did expect to get crazy high and enjoy the fuck out of it, which I did.

      Trent Reznor’s take on Tron definitely doesn’t live up to Daft Punk’s rendition of Tron, but that’s just my personal taste. Also they’re not responsible for the movies, that was a regular director and writers…

      Tron is definitely more movie and less visual album the way Lemonade was but IMO both are valid.

      The first Tron movie’s special effects were new at the time very much like Jurassic Park (not as awesome of course). Also being a geek growing up with Tron it was a neat idea when things like cyberspace weren’t really well known, plus video games heh
