In case you didn't get the joke, that was 1985 in an alternate reality - on FRINGE.

I like Eric Stoltz but I don't think he could have pulled off the character in quite the same way.

Kind of sad that this movie's "prediction" was way off on just about everything except for gas prices. We look to be on target for the $7/gallon prices in 4 more years. Assuming we don't overshoot it. (Even more sad that the movie wasn't trying too hard to actually predict things and were probably trying to be as sensational as possible with things like gas prices. Instead, they were just right

They purposely created an unrealistic future since you can't really predict what the future will be like. They decided to just have fun with it.

I think you're on a fool's errand Xhonzi.
