When you've become an Internet meme for your love of TRON,
a movie theater really ought to let you watch the film in
costume. Back before the Disney remake, Jay Maynard was a
superfan of the original video game and movie, TRON.
He gained widespread Internet fame after obsessively
documenting his intricate costume. From there, he became a
convention darling and appeared on a handful of late-night
talk shows.
(See the 10 nerdiest movie moments of 2010.)
But apparently the staff at a Minnesota movie theater hadn't
heard of him. They refused to let him watch TRON: Legacy
while wearing his light-up suit. Maynard says he believes
the staff thought it would be too "distracting." But when
you're watching a movie with tons of flashing lights and a
bleeping electronic soundtrack, are you really going to be
easily distracted? We say this is an act of nerd injustice.
