Dear 1970s

Dear 1970s,

We get it, it is an emotional, grand moment, but the key word is moment. We don't need five minutes of classical music and what you consider impressive special effects every time you want to make a point. If you show a ship moving for 10 seconds we'll go ahead and extrapolate from there that it is continuing to move, you don't need to keep showing us.

We get that your vision of "advanced computers" and your ideas about racial interactions are a bit off, you're doing your best on special effects, and of course the fashion sense has become outdated. That's fine, we can get past all that. And you have some decent ideas so we can learn a lot by watching your movies. But we don't understand why you have to bury a half hour of good content in a two hour movie. And not just on occasion, but for every single movie. Of course it hasn't worked out too poorly for you since we tend to just remember the half hour where stuff actually happened. So there is still a lot of respect for your movies, but it doesn't seem right to do this to us when we want to see what is remembered so fondly.

Sincerely,
2008

PS Turns out AI is not that easy to create so you can stop being so paranoid and insecure about what will happen to humans when computers get smarter.
