TIL the original TRON (1982) was not considered for a visual effects Oscar because the Academy felt the filmmakers had cheated by using computers.

War…war never changes

Part of the fuckery of this is that a lot of TRON’s most iconic visual effects weren’t done using computers. Like, at all. They just look like that because they were filmed on a high-contrast film called Kodalith, with backlit hand-painted animation cels layerered in there so everyone looks all glowy.

These are hand-painted cels! Even the zappy digital effects started on paper:

So by any standards TRON got fucking robbed and it’s an injustice our rotten, corrupt society will never live down

What’s funny is that this actually happened. 

I’m unfamiliar with this story please elaborate

Finnish soldier gets separated from the rest of his unit but he’s the only one carrying the emergency amphetamines for the unit, takes too many and goes on a one man rampage for like 2 weeks straight giving the opposing Soviet soldiers nightmares for decades. Oh and he did it all on skis. 

Did he survive?

Yes, during his methed up 2-3 week rampage he got injured by a land mine, travelled 400km on skis, and only ate pine buds and a Siberian Jay that he caught which he ate raw. When he made it back to Finnish lines he was taken to a hospital where it was found his heart rate was nearly 200 beats per minute and his weight had dropped to 43kg (94.7lbs).
