"I told him that I was only a few years away from being an electronic person.
Then I spoke to the guy who had put on what might be considered a semi-robot costume before I was born.
I first asked bridges if he had gone back to watch the original movie before he started filming it, or if it was much like riding a bike.
"I think it's more like a bicycle," he said . "
"I think I haven't shown the film before it started.
I think, maybe a few years ago, I saw it again.
But it's very useful, Steve Lisberger--
You know the original director and writer on board.
Look at his face and put me back in the grid.
"Bridges played a rather unique role in the film, both good and bad ---
Two characters, nearly thirty years apart.

Another starring effect in CNET's Walt Disney picture/screenshot movie will be the third
Dimensions, at least for those viewers who choose a 3D experience.
The film also has a 2D version.
Asked if he thought 3D would stay alive or if it was just a fashion, Bridges said, "I don't know about fashion.
I think this is a step forward.
You know, maybe the movie will be poor for a while.
Bridges joked that he had never seen a movie with classic cyan and magenta glasses, but that he was fascinated by the projector solution specially made in 2001 --

"Not long ago, he came up with something called Showscan, which was simple. Twenty-
Four frames per second-
This is as slow as natural movement, so it is very primitive.
He came up and said, 'Why don't we put it at a speed of 60 frames per second and project it out?
Its resolution is almost 3D and very rich.
"Showscan is still there, but is mainly used for movie rides in theme parks.
"It's not really popular because you need to change all the projectors in the cinema," Bridges said . ".

I mean, it's terrible, isn't it? ?
This is one of the themes of the film ---
You can get to know it so deeply that once you get used to these things it's hard to get rid of it.
Bridges said that although he has a smartphone, he has not yet been attracted by smartphones and other gadgets he doesn't like.
"I have an iPhone that annoys me because I don't know how to use it.
I get these things a lot, you know, and then I don't take the time to learn how to use them.
Or if I learn, I will dump this information if I don't use it for two days.
It was very frustrating for me.
Still, Bridges says he's got the hang of e-commerce.
The mail was quick, even though he was-
Boxes often become overwhelming.
He was also a little shocked when he met someone with no emailmail address.
"I like those guys and you see them every once in a while.
You go, what's your email? mail address?
They said, 'I don't do e-mails. mail. ' Really! ?
They're kind of like, 'Oh, how complicated, 'I think,' my God.
Among other digital hobbies in Bridge, his personal website is what he uses to replace Twitter or Facebook.
He posted some of his photography and artwork there.
"I did it all on the Wacom tablet. . .
But I often can't keep up with this website.
"I do this whenever I put things on the site," he said . ".
"I 've been through a while and I 've done a lot of things during this time, but now I'm not doing that.

However, as far as "Tron" is concerned, he has to hold back. "I took some [photos]
But not as much as I have in other ways.
Mainly because the lights are too dark and you know the suit has to shine, so you have to keep the set very dark.
Bridges says he may end up turning some of these photos into a book or at least posting them to his site so fans can see them.
Speaking of fans, Bridges said he was looking forward to seeing the film after the film ---
Just like any project he was involved in.
"I haven't seen the movie yet, but my fingers crossed.
Tron: Heritage was released on December 17.
