Watch (and listen) to Daft Punk’s score for TRON: Legacy played by five floppy drives

By Rick Marshall January 6, 2012

No matter what you thought of TRON: Legacy, it’s hard to argue with the cool factor of Daft Punk’s pulse-pounding electronic score for the 2010 film.

As if to further cement the digitized origins of the band’s theme for the film, “Derezzed,” an industrious programmer has created his own version of the song played by a quintet of old-school floppy-disc drives. As you can see (and hear) in the video below, the five drives perform a pretty impressive version of Daft Punk’s TRON track — though if you’re looking to compare the two, you can check out the original “Derezzed” video online.

The creator of the floppy-drive version of the song, YouTube user MrSolidSnake745, has also made an mp3 of the track available.

If you have to watch one Tubi movie this April, stream this one

A man leans over to talk to three guys in Hoosiers.

If you're looking for the streaming service with the best lineup of movies, Tubi would probably not be at the top of your list. Compared to Netflix or Max, Tubi's library isn't quite as impressive. But Tubi does have one big advantage over the larger streamers: It's free. There are ads, of course, but Tubi is also easier to navigate than similar FAST (Free Ad-supported Streaming Television) channels , plus it has some really good films.

This month, Tubi still has a selection of Warner Bros.' DC films, including The Batman, but the real attraction of this streaming service are the movies from the 1970s, '80s, and '90s that don't get a lot of attention in the streaming era. Without FAST Channels, it would be a lot harder to find our pick for the one Tubi movie that you should watch this April: Hoosiers.

7 best director’s cuts, ranked

For most movies, the only cut that we get the chance to see is the one that's released in theaters. Sometimes, a Blu-ray release will include some deleted scenes, but it's rare for those scenes to be reintegrated into the film. On some rare occasions, though, we get a chance to see what a director would have done with a movie if they had been granted final cut. Usually, these director's cuts come from some of the best directors ever to work in Hollywood, and they're sometimes even directorial debuts.

Sometimes, these director's cuts aren't that different from the theatrical versions, or it turns out that those cuts are actually worse than the ones we saw in theaters. Other times, though, we get cuts that are genuine improvements on the original film. We've compiled seven of the best director's cuts that ever saw the light of day for this list and ranked them below.
