Back to the Future was released closer to World War 2 than today.

[-] crunchy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 months ago

If it was released today Marty would go back to 1996.

And wouldn't have much reason to want to go back to the future.

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

this one was more fun in 2015, when he'd go back to the 80s

Dazed and Confused was a movie in the 90s about teenage life in the 70s.

If they made that movie today, it would take place around 2007.

There's not enough cultural change or advancements in technology to see 2007 as a distinct era to reflect on. As we keep going forward, our "blasts from the past" will be from longer ago.

Like, you could get away with the 90s now, but even Stranger Things had to go back to the early 80s.

I see the 2000s as a distinct era! No fucking smartphones, no enshittification (yet), no fucking smartphones (yet) and still enough technology to live comfortably.

If I get tasked to build The Matrix, I would choose the 2000s, not the 90ies.

Also, no fucking smartphones.

[-] Franconian_Nomad@feddit.org 7 points 2 months ago

Have I mentioned no fucking smartphones?

But to be fair the iPhone was announced at the end of the 2000s, can’t remember the exact year.

I don't know how anyone can say nothing has changed in 20 years. A lot has changed.

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I don't know how anyone can say nothing has changed in 20 years.

Well, it's a good thing no one said that then.

[-] HowAbt2day@futurology.today 2 points 2 months ago

Are you forgetting NFTs and mRNA vaccines? There’s a plot somewhere in there.

[-] Etterra@discuss.online 6 points 2 months ago

Yep. That's how time works.

[-] M137@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

We now are closer to the year 2050 than 2000.

[-] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

I have a soft spot for 2000s movies.

Wait, does that mean....ono...

[-] minorkeys@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

So not that old.
