Tetris

I had the greatest idea.
A movie about construction workers whose job is to place colored blocks in certain formations.
Tetris: The Movie. You know who would make an incredibly convincing upright block? Keanu Reeves. It's the role he was born to play.
OOOOOHHHH... falling purple squares...
That's the interesting thing about video games. Back in the eighties, video games had no point. It was just PLAY PLAY PLAY until you ran out of lives. Tetris, Pacman, Frogger--- they were all unbeatable. The only way to 'win' was to get onto the high scores. Nowadays, we have games like Call of Duty and Halo that, though they last for hours and hours, end definitively. Maybe my generation demands more rewards for our effort, instead of having the name "Cheese Taco" representing you on slot 84 on the Pong game at Mario's Pizzeria.
I don't know what's wrong with us.
Bye!
