Is this more desperate than sitting virtually motionless in front of images you are not able to interact with for an hour-and-a-half?

yes - (we seem to be disagreeing a lot today) - and the issue of control is exactly the point. the illusion of 'control' within the video game is why it seems a desperate form of escapism. . . film, by virtue of not creating the illusion of control, is a more pure aesthetic experience (words i never though i'd post on HDC).
