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.
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. |

Maybe the light up helmet was just too much action. LOL
Next Thursday, December 30th is the opening day for Korea. I sure hope there are no distracting Korean dudes sitting in front me with light up helmets running their mouths.  |

They could have just asked him to turn the suit off while the movie played. No need to deny him a seat
Damn shame. |
