Friday’s Five Favorite Fictional Futures we Failed

Adam  in Friday's Five Favorites, TV, movies
  1. August 1, 2010 and earlier: Lisa Simpson’s (almost) wedding from The Simpsons episode “Lisa’s Wedding” which premiered March 19, 1995
  2. 2005: The Death of Optimus Prime from “Transformers: the Movie” which premired August 8, 1986
  3. 1991: The Ape uprising from “Conquest of the Planet of The Apes” which premired June 29, 1972
  4. 2001: The voyage of the Discovery One in “2001: A Space Odyssey” originally published 1968
  5. 1984: The breaking of Winston Smith from “Nineteen Eighty Four” originall published June 8, 1949…of course Winston isn’t even sure if it actually was 1984 because that could have just been another one of The Party’s lies.
Of course, the greatest future is still to come: October 21, 2015 from Back to the Future, Part II.
