As for the movie, I even had it on LaserDisc for a while, but replaced it with the anniversary DVD. I don't think I've run into any SF fans who don't at least know about the movie, but I've run into ones who've never seen stuff like <em>The Day the Earth Stood Still</em>, or <em>Forbidden Planet</em>, the '53 <em>War of the Worlds</em>, or even <em>2001</em>. You almost want to take away their geek membership card when you hear that. -- Dayton I too caught the Tron 2.0 comic buy sheer happenstance at a local shop, and then there was a terrible lag between issues 1 and 2, and I forgot about it, only to be surprised again when #2 came out, followed in rapid succession by #3.

And I read his novel <em>Frontier Earth</em> (though not the sequel, <em>Searcher</em>). But that's all fairly geeky stuff. To get any recognition from most non-geeks, I need to reference his <em>Scarecrow & Mrs. King</em> credit. True. And I read his novel Frontier Earth (though not the sequel, Searcher).
