It’s said that there are no new stories: that instead we are just retelling the same set of elemental plots over and over again in new forms. Some might argue that there are seven, thirty-six, or just one, but there’s something comforting about the concept no matter which lens you look at it through, the idea that a story is not so much the fevered original production of an artist but more like a human service, as much an indelible and unavoidable aspect of humanity as sleep and food. In this light, it becomes a little more forgivable that Adam Sandler’s Pixels, out Friday, basically lifts an entire plot from Futurama’s “Anthology of Interest Part II.” But only marginally.
