Mall rats! (And opossums, frogs, bunnies, etc) An ode to fun teen days at the mall, both a symbol of a dying phase of consumerism and also a public meeting place for young people to explore and exist outside of the home. Also just some very cute little characters on dates! You can grab prints here

The sounds of Tron-

Something that is often looked over is the fact that Tron not only has a connection with early computing but with early gaming as well. Not just because one of the characters makes games and runs a arcade, video games are absolutely integral to the world. In fact they make up a good portion of how the system looks and functions!

For example most of the transport, ships, and weapons we see come from video games, mainly Flynn’s but extends into encoms catalog. In the vernacular it’s common to mention it as well “video game warriors” “Gonna make you play video games” “video game simulation” etc. but you didn’t need me to tell you this.

The way video games impacted and shaped the digital world of Tron absolutely plays a hand in how seamless it translates into the two tie in Arcade cabinets. Though heavy on the grid bugs they’re beautifully decorated and similar to the games as we see them on screen/would translate in real life. The music stings come straight from Wendy Carlos’s work for the film, to the extent the game contains the entirety of Anthem. [Listen]

Sound cue’s and combat-

Part of what makes the sound and style of the game so accurate to the movie is the sound design. Like in old games there is a sound for everything. Every movement has its own sound, it sounds silly as things in real life also have noise but if you’ve ever played any retro game you know what I’m talking about.

One of the best examples of this is when Flynn is tossed into the cell and stumbles around, there’s a metallic echo to his footsteps. In combat it’s the same thing —very distinct sounds to go with every action. A lot of what older games are is pattern recognition- both visual and audio, certain music loops or sound cues help you get better at the game. Another good example is Tron casting his disc, blocking throws etc- if you know what a disc sounds like you can better dodge etc. I also like how they have almost a ceramic sound when Ram plays with his.

Nothing is more video game than De-resolution itself! The death cry and slowly breaking into bits before getting reabsorbed. You can hear the noise off screen and know what happened, game over.

Apart from video game comparisons I do have such a genuine love for the sound design of the film and how much it fleshes out the world. The blips and bloops of energy flowing through the system. The sounds of a working computer. There’s a dial up esc noise when Flynn is beamed in and judging by the guards reactions it’s not different from a how a regular program would enter/travel between systems. Programs get to make funky little computer noises in my heart 💕(another inhuman attribute I think they deserve, they’re like us in so many ways but then… aren’t.)

I know it’s probably just because it’s older recording equipment but occasionally programs will get a grainy feedback/radio style grain to their voice. I’d like to think it’s intentional- especially considering Legacy does this too (going so far for it to be what some sound like all the time)

The way sound is utilized in the movie is a incredibly underrated aspect of what makes the movie so good.

Two things here,

Firstly the street confirms that the city is in fact LA, it wasn’t very hard to guess considering the Propensity 80s movies had to taking place in the city. It also makes the whole “center city” thing in legacy even weirder that they’re trying to distance from the real world— when the whole point was the contrast, I digress.

Second is the little sign on the side, that is handmade and likely the original sign for the arcade. I imagine Flynn took out a huge loan for the neon one, but I love the little one. It’s cheap and sparsely decorated sure but it’s got heart! More importantly its listing his games. Just like the gigantic billboard overhead (likely another major loan) proudly displaying paranoids. It’s his little ‘up yours’ to Dillinger and Encom; his little way to credit himself. I can also imagine he tells anyone who’ll listen they’re his games- but most people think he’s just saying that to impress them- except the younger kids. His hard core fans.
