There's a new Tron movie coming out, and it promises to be kind of rad. In other news, the trailer seems to mash-up perfectly with Michael Jackson's Beat It.

Yeah, I've been trying to stop re-posting Kottke, but this one was just so tasty and delicious I couldn't resist.

Define "mash-up perfectly".

Also, both trailers are the same video.

Holy shit that mashup is awesome.

Of course "both trailers are the same video" -- it's the same fucking trailer, once in the original and once as a mash-up.

So that's the trailer for the original Tron? Looks remarkably modern. Also, the first link text says "new Tron movie" so I guess that video is wrong, because it's the trailer for the original Tron.

Both of those videos are the teaser for the NEW Tron movie (actually "test footage" original released at last year's ComiCon). Not the old.

Still friggin' cool.

It's kinda hard to avoid thinking that when seeing Jeff Bridges in anything even remotely resembling a bathrobe. It's lucky that he wasn't cast as Arthur in A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy or I'd be permanently confused.

They made a (Highly Underrated) sequel/videogame in 2003 - Tron 2.0

It is actually a really well done game, and if you enjoyed Tron, I can't recommend giving the game a run through enough. They nailed it. It's a shame it didn't get marketed better, because it really was one of the best games in 2003.

I'm excited about a new Tron movie - I saw the original every weekend or so the summer it came out, and blew the rest of my allowance on Zaxxon or Omega Race. I watched it again this past weekend with my son. Tron, and to a lesser extent, The Last Starfighter, are two of the seminal movies of my childhood.

When I first saw Tron, I thought, "THIS is what I want to do with computers. Make art!"

Sadly, when trying to explain this to various colleges around the state of New Mexico I got blank stares and was told I could be a computer programmer (something I did in high school already and found it wasn't to my liking) or an engineer (I guess "artistry" can be applied to circuit board design, but ... no) if I wanted to work "artistically" with computers. I seemed to be the only applicant that thought computers were capable of more than literal number-crunching.

Cut to California about nine and half years later. I'm living in Santa Barbara, talking to the animators in that worked at the old Wavefront Technologies, asking how they had become animations. Nearly all of them were marine biologists or geologists. Why? They needed "complex visualizations" is about as far as my eyes glazed over. I just wanted to help make light cycles and recognizers, man! At any rate, it looks like I was born about 10 years too early, and in the wrong state of our Union. Sigh.

Hey, signs and portents of things to come: both Bruce Boxleitner (Alan Bradley and Tron, of course) AND Peter Jurasik (Crom) were in Tron. I also had a teenage gay boy crush on Dan Shor (Ram ... huh huh huh huh).

I really enjoyed that game. Although I enjoyed it more on replay. Some of those puzzles allowed for near-endless bit searching. The atmosphere was right on, though. This description from the wiki page nails it: The levels are abstract as the ambiance seen in the movie, not to say surreal: they feature energy bridges and gates, neon-glowing contours, vibrant colors, floating boxes and tiles, teleports and deep chasms.

Man, TRON was my favorite movie as a kid. My friends and I played a game where we would throw frisbees at each other and try to block them with another frisbee. Good times.

This mashup is awesome with the exception that they cut off the best part of the song! I don't care if you need to go to black for a few miniutes, let Eddie do his thing!

I predict this movie will fail.

Then you were not in any of the cinemas where the first teaser (not the one in the FPP) was tested last year. It was attached to the beginning of a couple of films, unannounced. I think it was the same as the Comicon version a few months later, and presumably at a higher resolution: the first video anything when Disney revealed the project.

It's not clear at first whether it's an ad for another videogame, a theme park, or what, until the moment Jeff Bridges shows up near the end. This reveal sent a wave of Holy Fuck it's really a Tron movie! roaring through the crowd, and brought the same kind of spontaneous cheering that the first Lord of the Rings trailers did, the same way people (used to) cheer at that LucasFilm logo, back in the good old days when Indy shot first instead of blowing Jar-Jar under the table.

And this was not a comic book convention geek-fest. This was random movie-going crowd in Los Angeles.

Don't underestimate the nostagia, nor the disposable income, of children of the 80's.

Though maybe the Game Grid's been updated, I dunno. This looks more like "deep in the digital wilderness" than "new-style game grid" though.

According to this site, movie ticket sales have held steady for the past 15 years and 2009 is on track to be the highest-grossing year since 2004. According to this site, a lot more tickets are sold per year than used to be sold and revenues are way higher than they used to be (although I'm sure they should be adjusted for inflation).

can we rant about why the HELL the new Tron has to be "3D"

Dude, I would be right there with you -- my last memorable 3-D experience being Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn in 1983, followed by numerous terrible pseudo-documentaries. They all shared the same quality, which SCTV so cleanly lampooned with its "3-D House of Pancakes": sacrifice any aspect of the film, plot, character, anything, in order to get things to move toward the viewer and then away. Toward and away. They also featured 2, maybe 3 levels of depth, like a cheap Crackerjack "hologram" prize. So had this conversation taken place 6 weeks ago, I'd be in complete agreement.

Then I saw "Up".

I am now looking forward to seeing what they may do with new 3-D features.
(though of course, one clever film doesn't preclude successive terrible ones)
And yeah, Jeff Bridges. I bet there were cheers.

I knew this trailer was floating around out there, but hadn't gotten around to watching it until just now. With "Beat It" as the backing music. When I go to the film and strap on my 3D glasses, I'll likely have forgotten the circumstances of my first exposure to footage of the new movie. When the lightcycle scene kicks in, I have every confidence that my brain will try to mess with me by cranking up the Michael Jackson on my mental radio. It'll be quite a day for eighties nostalgia, after all.

"Disney staged a very awesome-looking Tron promo thing at Comic-con, by making a replica of Flynn's complete with playable machines (Space Paranoids! yee) and a nifty little stunt involving a "power surge" or something."

I was there on Thursday night, in the first group of people they let into the arcade (I took pictures and put them on flickr - self link warning) and for want of a better phrase, it was BATSHIT INSANE. I posted this on Flickr (abridged for more detail), as people were asking what exactly happened, and how we ended up there:
My husband followed a link from a site (could be io9?) to flynnlives.com last week - if you clicked on a spider, it gave instructions to "meet at the cul de sac of 1st and J when the numbers run out" with a countdown clock. We got there at about 8 o'clock, and there were a few people waiting. By 9, a group of people with "Flynn Lives" tshirts had set up a table, and gave us instructions for a scavenger hunt. They gave us a little pack with a grid, a map and a torch that doubled up as a UV light. There were posters along a small section of Downtown San Diego, and everyone had to run around finding co-ordinates that corresponded with hidden UV-seen-only numbers on the poster, and they led to a spot on the map.

In the end, they still had to point us to the entrance of the building, it had a giant FLYNN'S in neon outside. They checked that we had the grids and let us in - reveealing the arcade! After about 10 minutes, the lights and 80s music started flickring, and they pulled out the wall behind the Tron arcade game, Daft Punk started playing, and we followed a tunnel to the Lightcycle. Once we'd been exposed to that, we left, picking up a poster and tshirt on the way out (and only if we'd filled out the grid from the scavenger hunt properly!). Absolutely amazing.

Just for the record, this is the first ever viral event I've even been to, it was entirely unexpected, and we were almost ready to go back to the car and drive home because after a long day of standing in the queue for Hall H, my feet were killing me. So glad we didn't.
Even now, I am just gobsmacked at the amount of effort they put into the promotion - all the signs, the working (and free!) vintage games. I can barely remember the original film, I think my father watched it a few times when I was very young, but the teaser/trailer combined with the arcade and bike has got me really amped up for the sequel. Not only that but I need to go back and see the original.

Oh, and they also gave out arcade tokens with Tron/Flynn's stamped on the side. We found one in Hall H, and other people reported finding them across the convention too. On the way back to the car yesterday, after Comic Con was done for us, the bouncer on the door (they were taking everything apart and packing it up) gave us a couple more and told us they were going for $25+ on eBay.

TRON is one of the most uniquely made movies of all time. It's thought of as "the first movie with real computer animation", but what really makes it special is that amount of painstaking hand-labour that went into every frame of the film for scenes inside the computer world. The filmmakers went to incredible lengths to get the "inner glow" look of objects and people in these scenes. On average there were 14 optical passes done on each frame just to achieve this look.

I think 3D is fine in a movie, so long as the producers of the film realize that it might be seen NOT in 3D (say, on DVD perhaps) and make sure that the film is still enjoyable when it isn't 3D. Polar Express, for example. It was fun in 3D but at the same time, I recognized that watching it on DVD would make it far less interesting, because 75% of the film was set up to wow you by the 3D-ness of it all. Without the 3D presentation, well... it falls flat. (No pun intended.)

To be a good 3D film, it needs to be screened as a non-3D for a test audience. If they don't like the visuals, it needs to be retooled. There may be a time when 3D is so ubiquitous that our home TVs will be holographic presentation screens and film purists are lamenting the efforts of some studios to go back and add 3D to classic films (just like they did with color). But until we reach that point, we can only really get the good 3D effects on the big screen, so I hope to god the studios remember this when planning the camera angles and et cetera.

Here's a direct link to download the hi-res trailer (244 megs).

I'm excited that they're doing a remake, but that trailer doesn't give me hope. The original Tron movie is terrific. A lot of what made it work was that it was obvious it was guys in jumpsuits with fluorescent piping, but it was so imaginative. Like nothing else I'd ever seen before, and very cool. It was like someone made Metropolis, then the world waited 60 years before making another movie like it. The new trailer just looks really slick and digital, like a rehash of the old film with updated 3D effects.

I second the recommendations above for the Tron 2.0 computer game. It was neat.

I originally saw Tron when I was so young, and it was so unlike anything else about, that for a while I was convinced it didn't really exist and I'd just childishly misremembered something more mundane.

Its ironic comeback is nice, but it was kind of more fun for me when it had a bit of mystery involved.

I love me some lightcycles, but I do hope they try out some metaphors for new technology, I don't know much about computers or computing history but I got a real kick out of seeing vector graphics, command lines and giant proprietary operating systems translated into some lumbering ruthless, corporate behemoth, it seemed to capture perfectly my limited experience of computers, but it's been what 20 years since then?...hasn't system architecture, user interfaces and graphical output changed like...a lot? Aren't our everyday experiences (and it's significant that computers are as much personal as business machines) now more informed by things like mashups, datamining and peer to peer infrastructures on the internet? Would the blue screen of death, consumer reviews, pop-up banners or the uncanny valley fit into the tron universe? the back side of the screen as user-sphere or inclement weather like the program equivalent of some celestial firmament? There's got to be room for some smart, new analogies, and some totally awesome cameos. Given how much computing has taken over from space travel in terms of the public imagination of the future it's going to be super disappointing if we're served up some crappy MCP 2.0.

Dr Dracator - To a point, I'm with you. For instance, I'm praying to Unicron that the last shit-awful Transformers movie will be the last one Michael Bay gets to pollute and that this equally terrible-looking GI Joe movie kills that attempt at a franchise quickly and painlessly. I mean, a Baroness without a Russian accent? Who the fuck are they kidding?

However, in the case of both Tron and the upcoming Wall Street sequel, I think the world has changed in ways that make today a really interesting time to revisit both of these eighties franchises. I'm fascinated by the idea of Flynn and the Troniverse coping with networked gaming and Web 2.whateverwe'reon. I'm also quite curious to see how Gordon Gecko approaches the quantum singularity of debt that Wall Street has become since the original 1987 film. Maybe it's just my inner fanboy, but I'd also go see a third Ghostbusters or Bill & Ted's movie on opening day.

I realize, of course, that any of these movies have the potential to suck as hard as Transformers or Indiana Jones 4. Wall Street 2, for instance, apparently features Shia Lebouf: Moviekiller.

Yeah, yeah, he was Lebowski. If that's the only thing you can connect him to in your mind then you are seriously missing out on some Bridges goodness. Before that movie came out he turned in some damn good performances (amongst others):

Blown Away (1994)
Fearless (1993) If you haven't seen this movie - WATCH IT
The Vanishing (1993)
The Fisher King (1991)
The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989)
Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988)
Starman (1984) EFFING STARMAN
Against All Odds (1984)
TRON (1982)
King Kong (1976) Aside from the cheesy effects, the best one made, and the one that Jackson ripped off. Not the one from 33.

Bridges doesn't always make movies that appeal to my taste, but the thing is, he always turns in a solid performance.
I don't really keep tabs on him but Stick It (2006) isn't the best movie (by far) but Bridges part is hilarious.

Also, I didn't think much of that Beat It mash-up.

Yeah, hang on with the whole trailer business, I'm glad I finally have a good resolution version of it as opposed to a cam from last year's Con... but this still feels like just a VFX test, not a movie trailer.

I thought the same thing about all the light cycle rail curves, though, and the answer -- that there is much higher resolution now -- does make sense, even though I feel a bit cheated.

I hesitantly accept that new movies (Up, etc) are using this "new 3D" in a good way that is not just throwing spoons. Hrmnnph. Cavalier 2.0 is only several weeks old at the moment, though, so I expect to next be in a theater... oh... in time for Up 3: Even Higher.

Am I the only one who is depressed by this? I'm tired of all the fanservice. Constant rebooting, recycling and re-imagining, carefully optimising the amount of disposable income you are willing to spend on movie merchandising of the icons of your childhood.

Oh give it a rest. There just isn't such a thing as an original story or movie. First and foremost, very few movies are made completely originally. The majority of them are adaptations from books. It's been happening forever, and not just hack movies either: Gone With the Wind was a book first, and won 10 Academy Awards.

If it wasn't based on a book, you have a 50/50 shot of the movie being based on an old play, with 2/3 of those plays being Shakespearian. "10 Things I Hate About You"? That's The Taming of the Shrew. Movies like "She's All That" are Pygmalion.

So what if people are taking a slightly newer story or mythology and spinning it into their own yarns? Is there something more wrong about revising or re-imagining Batman instead of Dorian Gray? Is "Spam-A-Lot" really less predatory than "Transformers 2" just because it's on stage instead of on the screen?

People have been making works to appeal to the lowest common denominator forever. There's just nothing that wrong with it. If Shakespeare can have pussy jokes in his plays and have them last 400 years, we can survive a sequel to Tron. If we only allowed them to make truly original movies, we'd see maybe 3 movies in a good year.

posted by cavalier at 11:40 AM on July 27, 2009


The push for 3D is just a hook to try and fill the seats in theaters. There is a side-benefit to this for the studios, in that it requires a digital projector to do 3D in a theater, and as these projectors are deployed, the cost to distribute films drops.

All major releases come on several very large spools of very expensive film. Multiply that by however many theaters your movie is released in (thousands), and your talking many $millions to duplicate and distribute your film.

Shipping around digital prints is substantially cheaper, and this is why the production houses are interested in pushing digital projectors. The whole 3D thing helps push this along.

Also, it's pretty easy to convert a digital feature to 3D, and all current digital features go ahead and build the 3D stuff into the pipeline from the get-go.

For all the 3D haters, you can just as easily go see the normal 2D version of the flick.

Cinemas generally run both the normal and 3D versions concurrently, so you can pick which one you want. A couple hours of watching 3D stuff via the new glasses still gives plenty of people headaches, so the 3D version is usually just on one screen anyway, vs. multiple screens for the standard version.

First and foremost, very few movies are made completely originally.

Your broader point on originality is valid, but the trend in film is actually toward a decline in adaptations. The number of screenplays based on other published works has been dropping steadily since the invention of the motion picture. In the 1930's it was close to 95% of films that were adapted from other works, whereas today it's just over half, with almost as many original screenplays written for film. If the trend continues, original screenplays will overtake adaptations sometime in the next 10 years.

(There's nothing good or bad about that, on its face, of course: both original works and derivative works stand pretty equal odds of being great or awful. And neither Tron nor Tron 2 are adaptations, though, so yeah, this is all a tangent.)

vibrotronica: "Tron was at least twice as good as The Matrix. There, I said it."

Don't know about that, but the sequel will be at least as good as the two Matrix sequels together. It simply couldn't be any worse without distorting space-time as we know it.

Oh, and I liked Tron 2.0 - The Game, too. One of the things I loved about the movie was the sound design - all those cool, cool electronicky sounds, and they replicated them perfectly for the game. Some people might like the iconic buzz of a lightsaber, I for my part couldn't get enough of those thudding walking noises and the sounds of the disc-weapons.

Look, I know Hollywood is strip mining my childhood. Transformers. GI Joe. Star Trek. Just about every 70s and 80s TV show. And for the women, the massively reimagined Strawberry Shortcake and the My Little Pony revival.

I know they're strip mining. Heck, with some of it it seems more like mountaintop removal (e.g. the complete debacle that was The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen).

I still want to see this Tron movie. It may suck. Hell, it probably will suck. It's not like the first Tron was all that much of a classic, anyway.

But it could work. It could be older, more circumspect, and maybe uncovering the downfall of our increasingly connected, increasingly complicated lives merged with the computer. And Jeff Bridges plays the ascetic well.

OK, it won't be that movie.

Still, TRON, man.

Hey, I know better than to get in the way of people having a good time, but I do enjoy the occasional grumble.

Oh give it a rest. There just isn't such a thing as an original story or movie. First and foremost, very few movies are made completely originally. The majority of them are adaptations from books.

Ok, I'll agree with this. After all, I'm glad we're getting all these new movies based on the works of Norman Spinrad and Stanislaw Lem and the Strugatsky brothers. Oh wait, we're not: we're getting New Tron, with Original Jeff BridgesTM.

The only reason a Tron movie is being remade, instead of for once coming up with an original idea, is because the audience turnout can be predicted to about seven significant digits. It might sound good to some people, but it's been done one too many times for my liking.

I'm looking at you, George Lucas.

If Shakespeare can have pussy jokes in his plays and have them last 400 years, we can survive a sequel to Tron.

I don't get this - I am pretty sure the past is full of people who could crack a mean dirty joke, yet their work didn't survive 400 years. I don't know what their take on a new Tron movie would be.

If we only allowed them to make truly original movies, we'd see maybe 3 movies in a good year.

I don't see what is bad with that - there are better things to do than sit though some mediocre crap. After all, the original Tron was a great movie, right? You can watch that again, it's not like it's a shallow, formulaic piece of shit that can't stand a second viewing.

Eh, hmm... Ok, having finally been able to watch the "mash-up" (which was fun) and the trailer... I'm not enthusiastic about the amateur theatrics (It's just a game!) but the cycles were cool -- and if a sequel, I'm totally fine with curve-capable bikes. But remember in the original when they escaped through the breach in the wall caused by the previous bike crash, the light trails sunk to the floor, in the same way eliminated cycles did? That's because they left the Game Grid. Would get kinda messy if every cycle whipping around town left a lethal barrier to other traffic, no?

I think I was more optimistic before seeing the trailer. Still, it made me want to pull out Tron 2.0 and give it another whirl.

I'm excited for this. We spent the weekend geeking out about it (and we're not easily impressed -- we are big Moebius and Syd Mead fans in this household). I feel like the look shows a healthy respect for the original movie while doing new things with it. I'm sold.

Director Joseph Kosinski (Flash-heavy site that will resize your browser window -- or at least it does in Firefox) has really only done commercials so far, but those commercials show a vision. They're stylish and seem to blur the lines between the mechanical and the natural. (He also was the one behind the Gears of War "Mad World" commercial.) I hope he pulls this movie off.

I am also stoked about the Daft-Punk-doing-the-soundtrack element of this (everything I've read indicates it is the both of them). It's just too amazingly perfect.

I did like that the original Tron had in itself a nostalgia thing going on with b/w movies.

This trailer isn't impressive. I'm sick of sleek. It's like when you don't actually have any ideas on an overall look, just make it look sleek. The CGI on the faces is pretty bad and not something I want to look at. The chase is just plain boring... "Where'd chasing guy go? OMG he's right here! Sideswipe! Tiny gap! Low thing! Where'd the chasing guy go? OMG he's right here!" Minimal exploitation of CGI possibilities or light-cycle wall stuff, half-assed application of chase scene cliches, like being almost too bored to masturbate.

Maybe the movie will actually have cool ideas and not be so fucking boring and lazy, but this trailer doesn't convince me of that.

Part of me would have been extremely pleased to see them eschew all modern CGI techniques when making this sequel. Use a modernized version of the bluescreen-derived glow effect they pioneered for the first one instead of just full CG characters and environments with human faces mapped on. Use multiple analog passes on real film stock, the way they did in the first. Do as much as possible in-camera. That way you're paying tribute to the original, and tying them together in a way that does service to the original's ultra-futuristic and totally unique aesthetic and getting a saucy retro-futuristic look while you're at it.

Nothing about a completely polished computer-generated environment stands out anymore, but the look of the original is still unmistakable and unparalleled. It's the subtle grit and imperfections that make the original's visual style really physically present, really real. That's what is lost when every curved surface is perfectly curved and every glowing halo is diffused the exact right number of pixels.

I really like the idea of having sequels to generation-defining movies like this decades later. When you consider how computing has transformed our culture, it seems appropriate to have another Tron movie to act as a coda to the first, with the benefit of 20+ years of hindsight.

This really reminds me of the upcoming Wall Street sequel - I think it's the same kind of thing.

It's a little late in the string to post this, but it's important.

What it took for me to see TRON when I was a kid was I had to hop six different buses. But at 17, TRON was THE movie had to see. And for whatever reason, for me then it was a personal experience, like visiting the Godhead; I went alone.

I saw it at Crossroads 2 Theaters in St. Petersburg, FL. It was a Thursday. I came from Clearwater, FL, up near Dunedin, where I was was born and where I had been living on my own since I was 15. (I left home when I was 14, long story, different era.) And on that day, I felt both energized as only a teenager can feel and quietly but vastly alone. Lonely. Not desperate alone or lonely, but lonely in a waiting-for-my-people-and-MY-MOMENT-to-arrive kind of way. I remember walking across that enormous, flat asphalt mall parking black-top in the middle of the bright day, and thinking back, I remember feeling alone.

But I walked across that enormous and hot parking lot (enormous and hot in that way which I now see as being unique to the state of Florida) as if I was being beckoned. And looking back, I can honestly say I was.

At high school, which was the same experience for me as it was for many (most?) of my present day peer group ie grueling except that I was on my own, schooling days and working nights at a grocery store and biking (I boggle thinking back on this) thirty miles daily, the one class that held my rapt attention was in a subject that nearly all of of my 2000+ classmates did not understand and none of my other teachers discussed. It was Computer Programming. It was here I began learning FORTRAN. It was here—thanks to some correlation between our new high school and the Honeywell plant next door—I first connected to (what became) the internet.

So, when I saw the preview for TRON earlier in the year at an AMC Midnight Movie Express showing of Heavy Metal (whoa), something inside me got all excited, sparked on, and attentive. Something made a connection. I thought about TRON for months. (Which was easy: TRON was heavily-hyped; TRON was a REALLY BIG DEAL.)

In the summer, I didn't have to both go to school and work simultaneously. It was on my day off that I saw TRON. And I remember everything. I remember the popcorn, even. I remember because I swear, I walked in one person and walked out another.

There are two reasons for this. The first was that I had been banned from the computer lab because "someone" had figured out how to do much more on the computer terminals and through the ARPA network than anyone could imagine: Credit cards accounts had been created and said account numbers had misused at a local department store. (Can you believe that, back then in Florida, a person could walk into a store and buy things just by giving a number? Or that there were no surveillance cameras? I tell you, "someone" got lucky! I bet they didn't have to learn that lesson twice!) Anyhow, at that time, it felt as if a lifeline had been cut. Seeing TRON was like being re-born.

Which leads to the second reason. It was that what I learned from TRON was that talents such as mine could be put to use for good—and for creating video games!

From my perspective, it was as if I walked out from seeing TRON that afternoon right into the future. By the time I got to college, I am fully dedicated to computers code and technology as part of who I am. Later, by the time I turned 30, I work for both Sega and EA. (X-Men: Game Master's Legacy; NBA Slam 'N' Jam '95). I will have even got to know personally and be friends with the guy whose identity and life the character and supporting characters of Sonic the Hedgehog were originally based upon/stolen from! (Hello, Dean Sitton!)

Eventually, my people did arrive. Many of them are you. And my moment, too. And that's definitely now.

And now, at nearly 45, because of my extended background in computers and technology and writing and design, I get to work anytime I want, and pretty much anywhere. I get to do it from home. I get to travel. As long as I continue to learn and be inspired, and to inspire, I know everything will always work out.

But, point of fact, nearly 30 years ago, it would take a real inspiring moment of wonder and excitement to make it to the fantastic here and now. For the uncertain teenage boy I was nearly 30 years ago, a lot of that came from seeing TRON.

So I just want to say, "Thanks TRON." I might be here without you, but I can't imagine how. And, point of fact, after all this time together, I wouldn't even care to!
