Thanks, Roni. It's been a privilege.

Things That I Like About Watching Tron
1) Watching Commander John Sheridan chew out The Dude, while both are wearing ludicrous pipe outfits.
2) Knowing that it inspired the cheerfully genitalia-hugging costume of Jay Maynard, who I have met on several occasions and am glad to know 'cause he is a cool guy. Also, the kind of person who can wear outfits like that and have it, in some bizarro fashion, completely work for him.
3) Realizing that really, the screenwriters were hoping that "End of line" would become a pop-culture catch phrase.
4) Remembering having Bit's "YES"/"NO" sounds as dialogue box options on my PC.
5) Playing Tron 2.0, which was an awesome game.
6) The soundtrack, which somehow sounds like a gigantic orchestra playing an 8-bit soundtrack with no irony whatsoever.
7) Envisioning the religious ramifications of the Jesus-like sacrifice of The Dude at the end of the movie, and imagining the many religious wars that will later break out over interpretations of seemingly-innocuous lines like "On the other side of the screen, it all looks so easy," leading to millions of deaths clocking by each microsecond in a CPU-timed genocide.
