(Insert stupid Blog name here) - I'm so old...

[RSS Bot]

I was talking to someone about malfunctioning computers the other day, and eventually the conversation turned to "2001: A Space Odyssey". This other person (a college student) hadn't seen it yet, so I recommended it to him.

 

Then it dawned on me... that movie took place five years ago.

 

Five years ago!

 

What happened? It used to be the ultimate futuristic movie! I grew up with that film, marveling at its wonders, and would think of how old I would be when 2001 actually rolled around.

 

Now - it's history. Five years in the past.

 

Man, reality is harsh sometimes.

 

And don't even get me started on Space: 1999.
