Yes, a Vs. poll, but no wild game characters or "who's who."

Which was the better catalyst/antagonist?

Master Computer Program (ala Tron)

Or

HAL (Space Odessey 2001)

It's late, it's non-neo....it'll be underappreciated....but hey, it's something to do while you're getting those Gostlop r0/\/\zzzz, eh?

Edit: For giggles, you can choose more than one option.

Like I said, it's late...and since I can't edit my poll options, a lot of good it does now. The world will live on....unless some nice, wonderful Mod would like to correct the spelling for me.

And thanks for pointing out my spelling mistake, Lithy. I really hate making spelling errors myself. It's why I keep a pocket dictionary in my bookbag.

HAL and his faggoty sounding voice and red light that never blinks looking at you from all points of the space ship... robbing you of your air... killing the other hundred or so astronaughts while still in Suspended Animation/Cryogenic Sleep, HE FUCKIN' OWNZ ALL. *But Dave Bowman is the real bad ass in that flick, becoming the Star Child and all.

DAVE... what are you doing dave? DAVE! Dave I can feel that I feel as if I am lossrrsrwoeiwwing my miiiiiiind. Daabe!"

On the bright side, no one's started posting the lyrics to Daisy yet.

I voted for Hal -

man I can't even remember the bad thing in Tron - all that comes to mind is Jeff Bridges stumbling around looking for his rug...

ha ha ha. I'm funny.

But seriously, folks...

HAL is the scariest idea ever committed to celluloid.

"I can read lips, Dave."

The Master Computer Program was beaten by a buncha arcade nerds.

"End of Line."

You pick.

Hal owns the MCP for free. Both great great movies, and both are great "bad guys". It's not fair to call Hal bad since he's a very innocent being that was just lied to/misled/broken/you decide.

Hal just let those people die, and didn't give two shits about it. Let Frank die, and didn't give a shit. You stupid humans are going to fuck this mission up? Um, no you won't. He meant well, was trying to be nice the whole time, but was a major ass kicker all the while.

Man, makes me want to watch both movies right now!

Since I just watched 2001 one again for the umpteenth time the other week, I have to go with HAL also. That movie is so fucking nerve-racking.

It's not so much calling him evil/bad. He's still the antagonist of the story....no two ways about it. Still quite scary.

It feels like Flynn. He's still looking for that program. Merged with HAL memory, he will be absorbed.

HAL kicks total ass, and with technology headed where it is, HAL isn't totally absurde either.

Jeesh! HAL's winning by a landslide!
Where's all the MCP fans? Ha!

Hopefully more people will start posting who and why they voted....otherwise I'll have to type out the lyrics to Daisy and ask it to be locked. :eye: :eye:

It's too young to die yet....:(

".....Daisy....Daisy....give me your answer do....."
