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.

The best sci-fi movies on Max right now

There were only two notable sci-fi additions to Max in April: Terminator Salvation and Source Code. Both are very good movies, but it's been clear for months that Max is coasting on its sci-fi lineup. It's not enough to just have great films to watch, especially if they're on loan from other studios with an expiration date at some point in the future. Once films like Alien, Avatar, and all of the classic Star Trek films leave, Max's sci-fi library is going to look pretty weak.

For now, we're just going to have to live with the available selection for the best sci-fi movies on Max. But we also added Escape From L.A. just to give you more than two options that weren't on this list last month. If you want to see the rest of the films, just keep scrolling down.

3 Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend (April 26-28)

Luke Kirby and Michelle Williams in Take This Waltz.

As you've probably noticed, this is the last weekend of April. That means Hulu is about to lose some of its best movies before the new titles arrive May 1. And while we've already shared five great movies leaving Hulu at the end of April, those aren't the only terrific titles going out the door.

That's why this week's picks for the three Hulu movies that you need to stream this weekend are off the beaten path from the films we've previously chosen for April. We've picked out a historical drama, a romantic dramedy, and a remix of a classic Charles Dickens story. But since these movies are only around until April 30, you should catch these flicks before they go off to some other streamer.
