"clu happened,"
rather a profound statement, PROFIT happened, a coup of Utopia happened, in the name of TGCG or Total Global Control of the Grid
I'm enjoying the second viewing of TRON:LEGACY a lot more than the first time; love the eigihties vibe in Flynn's speech patterns and the alien camp of digital mythology. The way everyone's a DOUBLE AGENT, just like real industry - for a price.
R.E.I.N.T.E.G.R.A.T.I.O.N., it's a core phrase I just used through my Free Planet novel. In the Tron:Legacy film it represents the recombination of Kevin Flynn and his clu. In the real world of Free Planet, it's the recombination of the global game player (languishing in the abstract and arbitrary ruleset of THE GAME) and 'those who've been eviscerated from the game in the name of Notional Security.
"Sometimes, it's amazing how productive doing nothing can be," doesn't cut it.
"A new piece on the board changes the game - the best way to win is the change the game," is better.
FREE PLANET is the new game.
YOU THE PEOPLE are the new player.
CUSTODIANISM and 'do right by' must protect the game they're happiest playing.
