    Where is the art from? io9 has an alarmingly lax policy on identifying the art in their articles.

    @ErnestCushy: It's fan art... and I almost linked back to where I found it, but it was a bunch of excessively NSFW images, so I didn't think it was that useful. If you google for a few moments you'll find it.

    Erm. Hm. (Cough.)


    So are all the female programs in this new Tron flick going to look like that drawing? Seems almost Venus of Willendorf in its exaggeration--not to mention sexist. I guess to balance things out we could have all the male programs run around built like Greek Gods with enormous units.


    Why? I gotta ask why do this? Why sex it all up?

    I'm relatively certain that's fan art and not concept art. Don't quote me on that though.

    Knock it off Serinda Swan is in the new Tron and was a sexy magician, so for the record that's Tron outfits AND magic. New favorite person ever.

    I have many fond memories of watching Tron as a child.


    I have the sinking feeling that Tron 2 is going to rape that childhood memory.

    @JaiMak: Yeah seriously.

    I used to come to io9 for opinions. Now I only come for news. Something happened and overnight everything on this site became "wah wah wah change". Seriously. It wouldn't hurt to actually... say something positive once in a while. Embrace change. It may not work out in the short term but the long term benefits will be felt no matter what. Change. Is. Good.


    On that note I am looking forward to the new Star Trek. The fanboy whining will just add a layer of enjoyment for me.

    You know it occurred to me the other day that if computer programs magically became sentient, that we'd really have no basis for evaluating what their sensory perceptions were like. I mean, maybe they "see" a program mallocing memory as a light-cycle leaving a trail. Maybe they see kill signals as little discs flying around the message bus.


    Tron, in that light seems like a pretty interesting exploration of "if your consciousness were to get digitized into a mainframe, how would you map your perceptions of that world onto your existing experience?" Since you don't really KNOW, objectively what the world is like, only what you perceive of the world, who's to say WHAT sentient programs would perceive?


    Tron is WAY more post-structuralist than the Matrix. Eat it Neo.

    If Sean is 7 in 1989 and we jump forward to today (2009) isn't he now 27, not 20something?

    But doesn't 27 (or any number from 20-29) = 20-something?
