RE: What bugged me most about Tron and Legacy and some questions

You know what bugs me? Was'nt Tron: Uprising the animated series supposed to be out THIS Fall of 2011? Why was it pushed back to next year? I know for a fact that someone in Disney proclaimed 2011 is the year of TRON and yet, it was on hold.

Something tells me that Disney either changed animation studios or that they felt the effect of the Japanese Quake situation that some of the japanese animators were supposed to be involved in this but could'nt.

And I'm hoping the new screenwriter will do Tron 3 justice and am glad the LOST writers are not in it again. Thank the Users.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

That said, I'd rate Last Crusade as the next best, Temple of Doom third, and Crystal Skull dead last. The biggest reason so many fans were disappointed with Crystal Skull was because it was very much a product of modern times whereas Lucas and Spielberg were touting it as a return to form akin to Raiders. Instead, we got an overdose of crappy CG, lame comedy relief (pompadour monkeys) and the total waste of Indy's best leading lady. There's talk of a fifth Indy film, and Spielberg and Harrison Ford both acknowledge the mistakes that were made with Crystal Skull, so let's hope that if they do another one (and I for one would welcome it) they get it right this time.

"It ain't the years, honey... it's the mileage."

Indeed.


Just for the record, the claims of extensive CG were largely false. A great deal of the effects everyone cried "OBVIOUS CGI!" at were actually practical.

People were going to believe it was 100% CGI no matter what, though, because they went into it wanting to believe it.

My other .02 is that after seeing a still-beating heart removed from someone's chest, without killing them, and them still being awake, it's a bit much to say the fridge scene was too unbelievable. Or the magic box what melts nazis. Or the cup that heals gunshot wounds. Or a 700 year old knight. Or any of the other completely implausible things spread throughout the films.

It took a bit to get going, but Skull was not the monstrosity people claim it to be. 20 years of anticipation and hype caused that. If this exact same movie had come out a few years past Crusade, nobody would have complained. In 20 years, everyone and their cousin had a mental script for how they thought Indy 4 should be, and so disappointment was largely inevitable.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill onlineorder abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

Thank you, I'm glad someone else said it.

Also, the "nuke the fridge" thing isn't at all implausible given the type of low-yield fission-only atomic weapons that were in use in the 1950s. Yes, if it had been a few years later with a fission-fusion thermonuclear warhead, nothing would have survived. But in the 50s, atomic bombs were nowhere near as powerful as later nuclear weapons would become.

That's why there was a bomb shelter craze in the 50s, and it died out in the 60s. With the old 1950s era atomic weapons, even a makeshift shelter would provide some degree of protection and a chance of survival. Hell, some unprotected civilians survived Hiroshima and Nagasaki, sure not a lot of them but some did get lucky with despite having no shelter at all. Atomic attack in those days was quite survivable with adequate shelter. Come the 1960s and the advent of multi-megaton thermonuclear weapons, however, all that changed. Thermonuclear weapons were so powerful that no shelter would be effective, and no survival possible. People stopped trying to figure out ways to survive, because there were none. In the face of such fearsome power, all you could do was kiss your ass goodbye.

People projected that horrific power and zero survivability chance onto earlier atomic weapons that weren't nearly so powerful. Thus, what they saw on screen (and what would realistically happen) failed to line up with their expectations and they cried foul. Their expectations, howerver, were based on an anachronism.
