A commenter over at Scalzi's place: "As an overweight, thirty-something geek I wouldn’t be caught dead at the new TRON because I like having a girlfriend."
My immediate thought: "Seriously, dude? Both of mine are pretty excited about it."

Pseudonymous Commenter even tried to warn you about that, but did you listen?

Date: 2010-07-26 03:46 pm (UTC)I'm quite happy to hear that someone who'd never seen the original before liked it. I think I've said before that it's something I don't think I can judge at all as to whether anyone else will like: it's part of my history, and I can't tell whether it's got any aesthetic merit or not.

~Sor

Date: 2010-07-26 11:29 pm (UTC)The original is something that I can't really recommend to people: not because it's bad, but just because I literally can't tell whether it's good or not. I've known other people to be this way about, say, the Disney Robin Hood. I think it's fantastic; I also think that I may not be capable of seeing its flaws.
(An excellent word. And your spelling seems fine to me.)
