New Year's Morning Video: Happy 2001
Its new year's eve everyone. Happy New Year from Saturday Morning Video. We hope you look forward to an exciting and joyous New Year/Decade 2010. Holy Cow!
We can't believe, we're actually living in a time that was once throughly considered THE FUUUUTURE!!!
"We'll all have flying cars, by 2010, we would say around the middle school parkinglot/playground at recess." Ah we dreamed big in 6th grade.
Ah..back when Saturday Morning Video was just a wee little media producer (cough..in the 80s..ahem), we distinctly remembered that every new years eve the local TV station would play 2001: A Space Odyssey right after they showed ball dropped in Times Square. Why? We don't know. Why show the trailer now? We won't tell. Lots of people have tripped out the meaning behind this 1968 sci-fi epic.
But let's just say, as we crest the new year and new decade, here still in the springtime of the century, let us take a moment to look back, and see how they in the PAST once looked forward to the future, so that as we NOW look also to the future, we know how they saw us in the PRESENT then.
Happy New Year
