Shit films which predict the future

In a way, Wargames, the film with Matthew Broderick was very very much ahead of its time. Tron gets all the kitch plaudits about reliance of technology in film, but Wargames was on about computer hacking prettymuch before computers actually existed... coming up is a sample shitscreenshot from the film. Be careful this might blow your mind.



Yeah, Check out that shit out.

Fact is, with LulzSec fast becoming more feared than Al Quaeda, a little Matthew Broderick type accidentally pointing nukes at Russia becomes a rough but reasonably accurate prediction. LulzSec are almost impossible to describe, they are most certainly fun to watch, they have never killed anyone and they fuck with the establishment and these things make them almost impossible not to like... But yeah, I reckon LulzSec are worth far more than a cheap Matthew Broderick vehicle, although Feris Buellers Day off was an awesome film and also a Broderick film... and there was also a hacking scene where Buellers sickness record was deleted thanks to some hacking. Is Broderick somehow involved with lulzSec? their spiritual leader perhaps?

The Siege

Denzel is undoubtably the best black actor since Louis Armstrong played a trumpet player in the film'high society' if he was white, he'd probably have been just average, not being racist or anything but he's not really got the range of say Hugh Grant or other high calibre actors.



A film made in 1998 where a Saudi terrorist cell attacked New York City, predating a Saudi terrorist cell attacking NYC some 3 years later, one of the few times when the reality far outshone Holywood in terms of pyrotechnics and stuff like that. I reckon thats 2 shit films which predicted future events.



With all the Rupert Murdoch stuff going down at News International with phone hacking and stuff, we could always look at the 3rd worst James Bond film, Tomorrow Never Dies. Bond needs to stop a media mogul planning to take over the world, in a warning that media barons have the power to have governments in pocket and that kind of thing.



*Disclaimer- The villain in this film and his Chinese wife half his age is fictional and in no way representational of Rupert Murdoch and his wife any resemblance to the Murdochs, living or dead is purely co-incidental... seriously.*

So far thats 3 films that manage to predict the future even though they are terrible.

Okay, so hear me out on this one...

If you replace the bugs in starship troopers with the people of Iraq & Afghanistan, then it does get a bit more real, Michael Ironsides depiction of a character in a film played by by Michael Ironside, is particularly real in this film.



Fuck yeah.

If you were to discount all examples of shit films that dont predict the future, and just take the four examples I gave, then it becomes clear that the only way to possibly see the future is to watch shit films, no doubt at some point there will be ditzy American girls wandering the streets with their faces surgically attached to japanese mens arses a la 'Human Centipede'



We could wake up tomorrow and be in a dystopian world where the police have been bought out by a corporation who use the police for commercial purpouses, led by an elderly man who has no choice but to dodge pies at Parliamentary select commitees, after crafting the corpses of murdered police officers to create cyborg police enforcement officers. And Stuff.



I killed Rebecca Brooks because she made a mistake, now its time to erase that mistake.
