I still have my Black Hole trading cards. That movie and Tron were the best movies every made by Disney, not including a few choice selections from the Miramax sublabel. I dont think they want nothing to do with those movies, its just that the technologies which are featured are soooo ancient, that modern viewers might just laugh... Black hole was part of the post-starwars era (1979) while Tron was in that burgeoning personal computer era (with other movies such as war games.) on a similar note, Tron was the most killer video game too. Completely revolutionized the game stick controller. I just confirmed that both are now available on DVD currently.

...actually, I used to have two tron action figures, one was the david warner character and the other, well, the other guy. both were made of translucent imac plastic and had these fluorescent plastic discs. ah, those were the days... over now, Mark -- Mark Kammerbauer http://www.nexialist.com GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
