I found this cool link from chaotic intransient prose bursts, a source of many cool OS X things. It is a little program (? I think) that lets you view any quicktime movie from the terminal window in ASCII. I like to set the background colour to black and the text to green to get the old green screen / matrix effect 
Have a look at an example or go straight to the download from Apple’s developer site.
Reminds me of something Lev Manovich wrote about in The Language of New Media
Have a look at telnet://towel.blinkenlights.nl if you’re interested in ASCII Starwars
