Least I don't stare at guy camel toe.

Now before derail...

This guy did his with glow in the dark but it didn't turn out as well IMO. Still cool looking though.

Stare Noticed. Which is easy to do when you get an overweight guy trying to fit into a spandex suit. Not saying it's a pretty thing, just saying...

Re: TRON

Ya the 2nd guy did a much better job with his costume. Cracked me up when he said he did it for the party in Madison though. Only went there once for Halloween and HOLY CRAPPER WRAPPERS is that a party!

Re: TRON

Editors love puns.

The three laws of journalism are:

1) Inform the public of matters of public import.
2) Entertain the audience, when it does not interfere with the first law.
2) Sneak in puns when it does not interfere with the first two laws, unless it's a really good one.

Thanked for the pun.

Re: TRON

He's got a camel toe.

The story is that he wanted to be "authentic", so he didn't put on a dancer's belt. (aka a groin covering) And then later on everyone finds out that they did wear dancer's belts in the movie.

But the best part about the whole thing was that he put that picture up on ibiblio. Putting it on a website with more than enough power to survive a slashdotting made for nuclear-tier lulz.

Random comment

Movie was far ahead of its time, like a bunch of movies that came out in the 80s, and it got me even more hype for the sequel.

If many 80s movies were ahead of their time, I think... they were with the times.

Re: TRON

Old topic is old, but I wanted to mention something I saw the other day.

So I was looking up TRON on gamestop.com because I wanted to see when TRON: Evolution (The video game) was coming out. Ended up seeing this:

Story:

20 years ago, an artificial intelligence known as the Master Control Program (MCP) threatened to take over an unsuspecting world. Only Kevin Flynn, a computer genius, stood between the MCP and rest of humanity. Flynn was digitized into a parallel universe inside the computer, where the MCP pitted programs against each other in gladiatorial combat on the arena known as the Game Grid.

With the help of a security program known as Tron, Flynn ultimately defeated the MCP and returned to the real world.

20 years later, Alan Bradley, creator of the original Tron program, has finally replicated the technology needed to successfully digitize a human being into the computer. The secret lies in Ma3a, an artificial intelligence program sophisticated enough to hold within its memory the complete genetic makeup of a human being, and the correction algorithms required to safely restore one to the physical world.

Unfortunately, Alan’s company is on the verge of a corporate takeover.Future Control Industries (fCon) has learned of Alan’s discovery and is interested in the technology for their own nefarious purposes. By digitizing specially trained hackers codenamed DataWraiths, fCon plans to infiltrate the world’s computer networks from the inside.

When Alan suddenly disappears under mysterious circumstances, his son Jet, a talented young computer programmer, enters the world inside the computer in search of answers. He discovers a sinister plot spinning out of control that threatens to corrupt one reality and forever transform another.

Finding his father is paramount, but getting out alive is equally important. To do this, Jet must find within himself the strength to come to terms with his very different father, as well as overcome the otherworldly adversaries encountered in this strange but fantastical world of Tron.

Bits of the story sounds like TRON: Legacy except swapping Alan for Flynn. I thought it was pretty interesting though, wouldn't be surprised if they tried to throw that story as a sequel later on.
