[YouTube] ImHostingSNL - Tron (1982) movie reviews - Sneak Previews with Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel
I recently watched the new Tron: Ares film, and I have to say, it was quite forgettable. Sure, some sequences were exciting to see on a massive IMAX screen, but overall it was a massive dud. According to Deadline, the movie is set to lose over $130M. Add this to the list of big budget movies that Jared Leto has led to the graveyard.
I never saw the original Tron, so watching this clip from Sneak Previews was hilarious. I can see how the visuals must have been crazy in the early 1980’s, and Ebert even described it as something he has never seen before. One thing that stuck with me is how Ebert commended Tron for not over-explaining the rules of the computer-world and trusting the audience will keep up.
[TV Show] FX - English Teacher
Bring 30 minute comedies back!!!
I absolutely loved binge-watching this show. It’s like a 90’s sitcom for the modern age. Typing out that last sentence kind of makes me want to throw up, but watch it and you’ll see what I mean.

Not only is this extremely entertaining, but I think it shows the power of editing. A totally different perspective just by reframing the same content. Enjoy.
