Leonardo DiCaprio plays Atari...

...founder Nolan Bushnell in an upcoming film apparently

The Hollywood Reporter wrote:
Leonardo DiCaprio is attached to star in Atari, a pitch that writers Brian Hecker and Craig Sherman sold to Paramount Pictures on Friday about the godfather of the video game industry, Nolan Bushnell.

The Hollywood Reporter says DiCaprio's Appian Way is producing the biopic, which the filmmakers hope will play with elements from Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Tucker.

Bushnell was an engineering student, puzzle-lover and game enthusiast who went from fixing broken pinball machines to launching Atari Corp., a video game manufacturer, in the early '70s. Its first product was a little game called Pong, which led to hundreds of millions of dollars worth of video game sales. Within a few years, he sold the company to Warner Communications for $28 million.

During the next three decades, Bushnell started many other tech ventures and also created Chuck E. Cheese's Pizza Time Theaters.

A mixture of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and Tucker you say? I am interested

    She was:
    "Hey hey, we'll hang tomorrow, like, at dark"
    And I was all "Yeah I'll text you!"
    She was like "Yes do that"
    And I walked off because I live close and didnt want to clutter the few cars they had and ruin their private party as I was kinda my first time hanging out with her friends (all of whom are very very good looking girls in uni and holy fuck I am kicking myself I am so fucking dumb

    You guys are not hanging out tomorrow, or probably ever.

    Sorry.

    If she replies to your texts, she will say that she is busy for the week.
    If she does not, you will see her around and when you ask if she wants to "hang out or something" she will say, "text me."

    and the cycle will begin anew.

    He is a nerd married to a fairly attractive lady who doesn't get video games. It sounds to me like he makes a lot of concessions to keep her happy.

    I have a low opinion of most people who marry their highschool sweethearts though, so I'm biased.
