i really need to start saving these title cards about the "future" (The Running Man (1987)
posted this in a reply yesterday but this is the thread now. Johnny Mnemonic (1995)
A new one for this thread from tonight's Monsterdon... Project Moonbase (1953)
@forestine remember when they decided that they should bring to life the metaverse from stories like this and snow crash, but instead of this it should be attending meetings as your Mii

@funkula @forestine 'regular ass*'

(* asses and legs not included)

@forestine they hit the nail on the fucking head
@jepyang i was hoping it would be more campy and less topical but i’m in too deep now
@jepyang we do have simultaneous future tech and a doctor smoking in a hospital tho

@forestine Crystalis for the NES begins with the declaration: "1997, October 1, The END DAY"

That was only seven years away when the game came out!

@forestine Soylent Green happened in 2022.
@CaptainFlab does it have an intro card like these?
@forestine Yup! Maybe I can dredge it up later.
@CaptainFlab nice! i’ll have to rewatch it. i think i saw it on cable a million years ago
