Two dystopian futures buried in dust, where our heroes have to choose between what they want and what everyone needs — it's *Interstellar* vs. *Idiocracy.*
In a dystopian future where Earth has become near uninhabitable, a team of astronauts embark on a mission to find a new home for humanity.
And three of those six, 50% of them are the Lord of the Rings movies, which very much deserve to be there.
You know what I mean? Like, that feels like not a good representation of humanities films.
But anyway, this really gets back to what a lot of tasteless is about, which is that we tend to cement in our minds that older movies are more valuable or more important or more like what a classic is.
And we have now a longer and longer span of time where we've been making movies.
