Saturday and Tuesday and Tuesday

[jack]

Last Saturday, I cooked dinner and had sonic, mobbsy, martin, owen, mcg, alex and rob over and to watch Tron. Thank you for coming, it was fun! I was pleasantly surprised everyone got on well. Though I think a couple of people were a bit annoyed at a sudden Poohsoc critical mass :( And Alex was reading from a different page from everyone else as to why anyone would want to watch Tron at all, but I think we all enjoyed that. I lent him a stack of books to turn him into a proper scifi geek.

Tron is good. No, it doesn't make sense factually, but most of it feel right, and looks good.

For the record, apparently red/blue used to be blue/yellow, which is why the lightcycles and a few other other things are confusingly coloured.

For the record, no you *can't* digitise someone like that. Nor do the trials and tribulations exactly make sense from a programmatic perspective.

However, can anyone explain why Flynn goes red when he attacks that guard? Do you think it's just representative of stealing his uniform?

When I first saw it I was very puzzled why this happened (No, not not as a programmer, but just as Joe Average). Does it mean something? Is it just a random effect of the physics?

Well, it might or might not have been, but I didn't think it was a problem really. I often invite anyone who might like to come, and if so, you're always hoping it's fun and having a risk that you'll end up with people who just don't fit in with each other. You'd have to ask him whether he enjoyed it or not, but I thought he did -- you have to start somewhere, you should see Tron, and asking people to explain what's going on is a perfectly natural form of communication.

I still have no good solution to transport into NE Cambridge :)
