BBB Site of the Week

If retro is "in" then bring on the ASCII pictures!

For those of you unfamiliar with ASCII picts, before there were high definintion - before there was any definition - screens and Photoshop, there were clever folks who put together pictures using monospace text characters in standard "ASCII" format. Consider these or this.

Well, imagine if you could set these images in motion and recreate your favorite movie. Well, truth be told, some folks have taken this to a whole new level by reformatting actual movies into ACSII - but that seems like overkill. If you're looking for a well done, hand built ASCII movie classic, I point you to Star Wars!
