Acclaimed comic book writer Peter David (Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man, X-Factor, etc) recently did an interview in which he discusses his up-coming adaptation of the original TRON film.

Except:

"MEDIA GEEK: Looking back at the original Tron, what do you perceive as its strengths and weaknesses?

PETER DAVID: Well, naturally the major weakness of it were the restrictions of the time: What was cutting edge back then now looks stiff and primitive. Plus some of the dialogue was rather wince-worthy. On the other hand, it WAS cutting edge, and it conveyed to audiences the concept of a totally immersive computer world which was pretty heady stuff. It was the kind of thing that, once you saw it, stayed with you, as is evidenced by the way Tron references keep showing up everywhere, from Youtube to South Park, long before the sequel film was launched."
