It’s a new year so I think it should be time to look at laughable visions of the future. I remember finding Time Cop on HBO in 2004 (the year it is set) and spending the entire time in gleeful ecstacy. This is partially out of sheer awe at the Lawrence Olivier-like skills of Van Damme, sure, but mostly for the ray-gun, time-travelling style universe of a year where iPods were the most fantastic technology most people dealt with.
So: Does anyone know of any movies set in '07? There’s got to be one, right?
Wild Palms was pretty good. Or at least I remember it as being pretty good. It has been about ten years since I saw it. Oddly I was just looking at the Wikipedia article on it yesterday, the first day of '07.
