That's it, we might have hit bottom! Universal Pictures are rumored to have won a bidding war to pick up the film rights to Atari's 1979 videogame classic, Asteroids. For the full story go to FirstShowing but I wouldn't fucking bother because it's retarded.
The only reason I bring it up is because it's a glimmer of hope in a world gone tits up. Bear with me...they're not so much scraping the barrel on this one, more wringing out a crack-whores bed sheets at the end very busy shift. But surely we can't get any lower than adapting a wire-frame game from the 70s and if we've hit bottom then at least we'll be able to build from the ground up from now on. This might just signal the cultural shift that'll drag us out of the horrible shit-storm of Hollywood diarrhea we currently find ourselves in.
Great fucking game though, click the picture to play and bask in its glory.
