omorka: (TRON)
Saw TRON: Legacy tonight. The film's a little light on plot - if I weren't already invested in these characters, I'd probably be somewhat dismissive, especially since certain things are taken for granted that don't really make a whole lot of sense - it fails Bechdel on Stage Two*, and there's a romantic subplot that doesn't really work, but overall I am one very, very happy fangirl. It hit lots of right notes, played homage to many of the things I liked about the first film, and was philosophically and theologically very satisfying.

* Note that the original film fails Bechdel on either Stage One or Stage Two - there's really only one named female character, from a certain point of view; from another, there are exactly two, who not only don't speak to each other, they can't.

In other news: tea recommendations. Hit me up, yall.
