Idiocracy: Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph, Terry Crews
Back To The Future: Christopher Lloyd, Michael J. Fox
I’m sure more actors could join this effort as well. Even though they were only actors, they got to study the theories of time travel and how events of one time affect future events.
I’m half serious here, if anyone can reach out to these former actors in the context of time travel, please toss them the idea of reaching out to the current world leaders (and even citizens), to point out how they’re fucking everything up in a hurry, and more importantly how to start trying to resolve the problems…
This is an insane take. Doctor who has plenty of deep messges that withstand any time period. Its one of the best shows ever made imo and can compete with any modern tv show easily. Only ever consiming media that is made in the current year is like a totally unhinged idea, and completely ignores an entire history of media being built and iterated upon by what came before. Your post also literally references a movie made in 2006. Would you tell someone today that that movie isnt worth watching because it isnt brand new?
Edit: fuck back to the future is even older. I couldnt remember the other movie you mentioned but didnt want to have to go back and check. Literally just an incomprehensibly hypocritical philosophy.
I don’t have extra money to piss for television channels just to watch shows made in the past. If I did, I’d spend the rest of my future watching all the other shows everyone else has recommended to me.
If anything, I’m more worried about studying the weather and trying to fix a misfiring cylinder in our vehicle, whenever I can both get the proper parts and have a good weather day.
Because I don’t live my entire life in front of a television, sometimes I actually get off my ass and do stuff.
I dont even know what you mean by paying for television cha s, unless you weirdly still watch cable, but even then, waiting for reruns of a show to come on is still wildly unhinged and likely to drive you insane. Maybe try a torrent or finding a streaming site where you can watch the entire show and literally every other show start to finish right in your browser? Or keep being some weird blend of elitist and nostalgia whore, extolling the virtues of 40 year old movies but refusing to acknowledge that a tv show made in a similar time period might also have value. Good luck with your car and the weather.
I don’t watch reruns, my elderly roommate does. I keep up with YouTube and scientific related posts, still trying to keep my mind somewhat fresh in the modern day.
Why do you think everyone needs television service at all? My roommate gets his free antenna television, he’s happy. IDGAF about the TV, I get more updated information online. I don’t even want a TV anymore, fuck I wish he’d turn it off so I could sleep.
I dont think anyone needs television service, thats my point. Theres far better ways to watch shows that cost nothing and dont infect your brain with advertisements constantly. You seem determinedly set in your ways though. My point is that theres just as much if not more value in a show like doctor who, as there was jn movies like idiocracy and back to the future. In fact i woild personally say that doctor who is far more meaningful and philosophical and would give you better more thought out perspectives on the world and the political issues afflicting it.
