kottke.orgDeadline's chief film critic: "Not only have I never played the iconic '80s video game Tetris, I had never heard of it before encountering this new film Tetris..." How is this even possible?! https://deadline.com/2023/03/tetris-review-taron-egerton-cold-war-thriller-sxsw-1235300991/
Jake@kottke I thought this would be the case of someone being too young to have seen the game - a millennial who just missed out or maybe even a Gen-Z who already has a stellar film-reviewing career.
But he’s been reviewing movies since ‘93! I guess he could be too old to have paid attention at the time. My (boomer) parents were completely obsessed with a Tetris. It was the one game they’d definitely know about from back then.
