TRON 2 Footage Shown at Comic Con...

Sadly, no video.  The description sounds cool though.  However, I'm prepared to be disappointed.  Set those expectations low and maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I really hoped that Tron would escape the crappy-make-a-quick-buck-by-tapping-into-the-adult-youth-from-the-80's thing.

Tron set a really high bar. I guess I'll have to take your advice and set my expectations pretty low.  :-\

What's next? Goonies II? The Black Hole: The other side? E.T. vs. Mac? Night of the Comet 2: Halley's Revenge?

Geez.

I heard Sean Astin on the radio a few months ago and he mentioned Goonies 2.  Didn't catch all of it but I think it was along the lines that the original cast is old enough to have kids, viewers are old enough to have kids, so it would be a good time to do it...

 :dunno

At least they've got the original kids in there and not some pseudo-look-a-like stand in.

Too bad only one of the Coreys were in it.  the other Corey is the one who desperately needs to restart his career.

Just thought I'd mention that the official title for the movie is : Tr2n

The title alone does a pretty good job of telling me I'm going to be disappointed with this movie.

I figured that would come up.  Seems lame, but what about Se7en?

Also a lame title, but it's also not a sequal, it was the original name for the movie, not a lame way to put the fact that it's a sequal into one word.  Seven 7 doesn't work, but even you called it Tron 2.

I think that Tron 2 might be better than we think.  With the current technology, the movie could be a pleasant surprise...

Think positive!!!!

Here's a really bad angle, low quality bootleg of the trailer

According to what I've read, this is more "proof-of-concept" than trailer.  Made to show what they can do, not necessarily what they will do.

 The lightcycle scene is depressingly awful.   

 Seeing Jeff in there is probably the only reason the people are
cheering.

I'm not real sure what you are expecting.  I thought it was an okay combination of old and new. :dunno

I saw Wargames; The Dead Code last week and it didn't nearly suck as much as I feared it would do. Sure it wasn't the original but it wasn't Star Wars ep. 1 either. So I don't mind remakes as long as they don't hype them too much.
Wish list: Galaga, Pacman, Pooyan, Star Wars cockpit, Gauntlet, Tron

And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

I'll put in my vote right now and say that it was friggin awesome! Wish I could see it in HD. Plus Flynn's back, I wonder if he's omnipotent or if he's just what the MCP program looks like now? I hope they develop it.

The plot of TR2N is about the main characters trapped inside a leftover floor model Compaq Presario running Windows ME languishing on the clearance table at the Hoboken, NJ OfficeMax.

I thought the light cycle race was pretty neat.
