TRON is one of those films that you can watch over and over again and find things that are subtle but really add an interesting element to the film.
For example:
The thing I like about this scene is the sunrise in the background. For one, it kind of looks like the gradient shadow from the computer world that you see on the horizon, and another it really gives me the feel that the entire night has elapsed during the course of the film.
I have always liked that sunrise in the background of this shot, and although somewhat trivial, it still lends a LOT to that scene.
Anyone else have any scenes like this to share?

It's my DVD player on the PC, but it in and of itself does not capture screen shots. I use a seperate program that captures the screen shot for me (although at the moment I forget what it's called  )

Or do like I do. Use Printer Screen and just open up any program like word or photoshop. and just hit contrl V for the paste of it.

VROOOOOOOOOMMMM!!! 
To compute or not to compute that is the question at hand. Tis nobler to compile in C++ or in TASM.

print screen doesn't always work.
You need an actual player that *can* capture screenshots otherwise, c/ping will show up as BLANK in photoshop/paint.
It's the way some programs are constructed... multi-layered. X_x

Here at work I can use Print Screen or ALT+Print Screen to do screen captures.
However at home on my Windows XP machine when I do Print Screen it does not save the image into the buffer correctly. It will not paste as a new layer but pastes as the existing level, and I cannot modify it.
Very odd.

From what I was told, it's got to do with how the program processes it on win machines.
Very strange!
However, Powerdvd has the ability to take screenshots.
Anyone know of any other dvd players (programs) that can do this?order abortion pill morning after pill price where to buy abortion pill

Yeah - that's a great scene in the film. I've always admired that shot as well. BTW - I archived that image in the Image Gallery under Screenshots, Miscellaneous - "Dillinger's End at Encom".
There are many scenes that I love in TRON. Hell, the better part of that film is made up of cool scenes and great imagery!
One of the real world scenes that I've always found as cool, is the shot of the giant cubicle farm at Encom. It just looked like the cubicles went on forever in this huge, mammoth company.
...
Oookaaaaaaay.
I was going to do a screen cap of that particular scene, but my computer doesn't feel like cooperating with me on that. My TRON DVD just keeps spinning and making weird noises in the drive, while my DVD app. struggles to play it... and eventually crashes.  DAMN COMPUTER!
Oh well, I think you all know the shot I'm talking about. I believe it is where RAM's user  asks Allen if he can have some of his popcorn.

I think a couple of my favorite scenes, are right at the beginning and end of the film.
I always thought the transition from an overhead shot of the electronic world, to the real world, was very clever. When you see the light traces moving along circuits in the electronic world, and then the lights from vehicles moving along the roads . . . it demonstrates that the parallel between the two worlds is closer than you might think.
The beginning shot is exactly like that. The one at the end doesn't do a transition, but it shows the landscape in the real world getting darker and darker until all you see is the lights. So it looks almost exactly like the electronic world, in the dark.

Yes, excellent scene - especially that last one where it time lapses from day to night and the night shot looks very much like the digital world imagery. I've always loved that shot and understood it to mean just that - the real world has very much in common with the digital world. In fact, as a kid, I kind of thought it was supposed to be like a digital world overlay over the real world kind of thing... if than makes any sense.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill onlineabortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

Well, my stupid free screen capture utility worked ONCE... and the result you see above. For some dumb reason, when I use any XP commands to capture a screen from video it fails. It's so weird, it's like there's a hole in the application that I am pasting into, and you can see the outer frame of the window, but then the video is still playing in the background (where the still image should be). It is the MOST bizarre thing I have ever seen.
Anyway, I got obsessed with being able to do screen captures, so I finally figured out some REALLY stupid way of doing it. Here's the result:
Not sure what is going on in my machine, but screen caps from video just do NOT work. Anything else (screen capture-wise) is OK. Just not video.

Always found this funny. Anyone ever noticed the cubicals with no entrances next to Alan and popcorn guys cubicals? It appears people work in them. Must suck to be those programers.
Hey Alan, I need to get to my cubical, mind if I climb over yours to get to it?  abortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

In the commentary of Tron, they do talk about trying to make it look like the game world outside of Dillinger's office. In the night-time scene before Flynn gets beamed into the world, it looks like I/O towers and the game grid out there, the way they have the lighting. I've always liked this, too:
