I feel betrayed. Betrayed by the only thing in my life that I ever held dear. That's right Im talking about Back to the Future 2. Not just BTTF2, but all those near future movies, games and videos. Every single piece of Sci-Fi (and Ive seen and read a lot) that made me sit back and say 'WOW'. The reason I feel betrayed is this: where the fucks my flying delorian that runs, not on gasoline, but on old rubbish and banana peel? Where is my hoverboard and self drying talking jacket? Where are the laser guns that make cool 'pew pew' noises?
Now I know that a lot of you will be saying "OMG LOL, but semen, its all just make believe, its not real!!!111!1" My point is this. If we can imagine it, we can probably make it. That's the whole reason why humans have survived for so long. Long ago, some prehistoric guy stood on the seashore and imagined a way to get across it with out having to swim and another guy imagined a way to get that fire stuff to make his wooly mammoth meat hot and tasty.
So if cave men can do it, why cant we? I guess in some ways that its us who have been the failures. Back in the 50's, if you had asked a guy what the world would be like in the year 2004, he'd say 'Well, everyone will be driving flying cars and wearing unisex silver jumpsuits. My kids will be going to school wearing rocket packs, and my wife will live a life of luxury because the robot will be cooking all the family meals by putting a pill in the microwave that turns into a roast turkey"
Why don't we have these things yet? We're failing our ancestors! Our forefathers are up their in heaven or valhalla or whatever they believed in, shaking their heads and saying to themselves "What a bunch of losers. They can create an ethereal web that facilitates the free flow of porn, but they cant make a delorian fly".

Sigh. Women say that to me and my friends all the time.

This is a +2, as you made me laugh and you've made me think...
Also, you've made me think about this sentence:
"we're at a stage now where everything saves us time, we should be the happiest we've ever been, but all that happens is we have more time to think about all the things we don't have".

The car ran on gasoline, it still had a good ol' gas engine in it. It was the time circuts and the flux capaciter that ran off old rubbish and banana peels. The first movie it needed huge amounts of power from either plutonimum (sp) or a lighting bolt. Doc Brown fixed that for the next movie. The 3rd movie they had to get the car to 88moh by pushing it with a train because they had no gas, but could still power the other stuff off garbage. I think the question you should be asking is where are the flying trains?

this has been done approximately 1,000,000 times.
the 'pew pew' comment saved the minus score though.

This rant is frighteningly similar to Kevin Smith's short film "The Flying Car" (featuring characters Dante and Randal!), so that's why I'm not rating it.
Sorry.

I can imagine a magical robot dragon that can cross through other dimensions at will, bring back the dead, and prove that God does or doesn't exist. I'll expect one on my desk by 4.

Er...its in the post.
