We had an awesome deal on pizza from papa johns and i got a free rental coupon for the blockbuster express so we rented tron!
First when i got home from work we watched the latest episode of The Office which is the one where Will Ferrell joins the cast as the new manager of the Scranton branch!
It is still hard to tell how well he will mesh with the other characters but im sure we will see more of him in the coming episodes.
Then westarted our movie: Tron! It was definitely an awesome flic! Though it was a bit different from the original one released in 1982.
Some of the things i really liked was the fact that they used the same actor for the main character, Jeff Bridges. He plays the role of Kevin Flynn who is a genius in computer programming and in fact he invented two of the most common video games in the 1980's. One of those was Tron.
The other thing i really liked was how there were a lot of parallels to the gospel of Christ, specifically in the plan of Salvation.
In Tron, there were two master builders inside the virtual world. One of those was Tron and one of those was Clu. Tron sought to follow the rules and allow others to choose their path but he was there if they wanted to follow the rules and he would support them.
Clu sought to build "the perfect system". He wanted to force people to be perfect and if they rebelled, he enslaved them. He went so far as to attack the creator: Flynn. Two different times the creator was saved because Tron, the good builder, sacrificed himself.
Ultimately it was a really good movie, it was very clean, there were no curse wordbs, and no sexual references. Its hard to find a film such as that in these days.
Well i think that sums up our friday and saturday. Today i have some home teaching to do and then some homework to finish up. Only 2 weeks of school left! :)
