IT JUST THINKS IT'S HAPPENING
I think I'm second to no one in my peculiar love for the original TRON.
Yes, it was no ALIEN. Yes, it was no THE TERMINATOR. Yes, it was no THE MATRIX.
Yet it had a sincerity and unique approach that was original then and remains unrivaled today.
In its own awkward way it was a trendsetter and certainly influential.
When TRON LEGACY was announced in 2008 I ignored all of the warning signs, including the movie trailers and poster, and waited through two agonizing years of promotion and marketing for the movie to finally get released. I felt that way because we had the technological ability to create the world that TRON creator Steven Lisberger couldn't. We saw where the original movie went wrong. We could make it better, faster!
So when TRON LEGACY was released, I was there on day one!
Holy cow! I'm telling you, when the end credits finally rolled I felt like ... like Star Wars fans felt when they saw THE PHANTOM MENACE!
I felt like George Romero fans felt when they saw LAND OF THE DEAD!
I felt like RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK fans felt when they saw INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULLS!
In short, I felt bitterly disappointed.

CRAP IN THE CABIN
You see that THE CABIN IN THE WOODS poster there? That is one brilliant poster, my friend. That poster tells you that the movie you are about to watch is going to be far from an ordinary Cabin in the Woods picture.
Ignition Creative designed that brilliant poster and, to their credit, Lionsgate recognized its genius. Whoever came up with that original poster idea was onto something, because they recognized the value and the soul of the movie itself. They got it! They understood where the wildness was going and they were wholly onboard with it!
Unfortunately there were other voices as well. Those who wanted a mediocre poster so hideous by comparison that ...
But wait!
I'm getting ahead of myself.
I should say a little about the movie first.
