I meant to write this post up exactly a month ago, when I went to the movie spoken of in the title. But maybe this is good too, as I've now had time to think about the movie a little bit more since first seeing it.

I thought this was kind of a funny coincidence since the Tetris movie had just happened and everything. So I and some friends and colleagues have a Tetris high score board going. We play the NES game on game A, and for a while I was in second, then eventually bumped down to third. Last week I hopped in for a round, not really planning on doing much, but just playing to play.

The Tetris movie released on Apple+ this past weekend, so of course I had to see it day one.
