"Asteroids" Movie, End Of This Day, Can't Come Soon Enough  @4:15 PM


Amid word that Universal will distribute a film adaptation of the classic video game "Asteroids"—there's a first look here, although I don't know why they don't just take the screenplay for Armageddon and change a couple minor characters—the question arises: How many of the scenarios above will also eventually become movies? The answer is, of course, all of them. I am particularly looking forward to Viggo Mortensen's interpretation of the role of Q*Bert. Also, Jesus, remember what it was like to be a kid in the '80s? If you don't, don't answer, I feel old enough already today. 8
