Steven Lisberger) and then join the conversation on June 16!\n\n\n \nNowadays\, every movie-award season brings a heap of praise for animated movies that are wholly or partly CGI\, from Spirited Away to Happy Fee t to Up. But in 1982\, Steven Lisberger wryly said of his movie TRON\, C GI was considered "cheating." The movie\, which combines live action and C GI\, brings a power struggle at a video game company into the inner world\ , literally\, of the computers themselves\, with each of the human major c haracters mirrored by a digital counterpart.\n\nTRON is available on DVD a nd Blu-Ray from the Palo Alto City Library\, and for rent from Amazon Prim e.\n\n\n\n\nMeeting via Zoom as always:\nhttps://zoom.us/j/98203742810?pwd =WG9ackhoOWZ4VTlpbGhNWjBzS0NQdz09\n\nMeeting ID: 982 0374 2810\nPasscode: 179957\nOne tap mobile\n+16699006833\,\,98203742810#\,\,\,\,*179957# US (S an Jose)\n+12532158782\,\,98203742810#\,\,\,\,*179957# US (Tacoma)\n\nDial by your location\n+1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose)\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Taco ma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 929 43 6 2866 US (New York)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\nMeeting ID: 982 0374 2810\nPasscode: 179957\nFind your local number: https://zoom.us/u/aqA mKovPQ\n\n\n\n\n\n \;\n\nThe Sci-Fi and Fantasy Discussion Group was m eeting via Zoom before it was cool!
