Hate to say it, but I’m getting tired of retro-futurism. What it basically says is “we had better dreams in the 70s than now”.

But people in the 70s were not trying to escape into the past. They were trying to imagine what’s next for them, in the moment.

So I want the same for today. I want something to dream about, something I can get behind, I want to imagine future from today. I don’t want this “past had better hopes” crap. What’s next now, today?

@alberand Sure!

Well, videogames are not going to replace cinema any time soon
