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. Laughing

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

Damn shame.
