Some discussion starters:
- Do any specific films or TV shows strike you as aesthetically inspired by video games?
- Is there a particular "look" that denotes video game aesthetics? Is it still pejorative to liken a film or TV show to a video game?
- Can film and TV appropriate video game aesthetics even though they lack the ability to appropriate the corresponding mechanics?

I like how in Crank 2 a classical sequence taken off a FPS is perfectly "reenacted" in the movie.
