Futuristic Movie Timeline#6 In A Series Of Pop-Cultural Charts
(click here for a larger version)
No one really pays much attention to what year sci-fi movies take place. I thought it would be interesting to arrange some classic films about the future into chronological order and see what we’d find. I’ve also charted the years in which they were released as well as the current year. This is by far the geekiest thing I’ve ever done.
* I only included movies in which Wikipedia knew the exact year.

Bandstand Busking

“There are loads of bandstands in parks across London, and most of them are looking fairly tattered from lack of use. When did you last see/hear one surrounded by hordes excited by the sounds? …well we hadn’t so we decided to do what we could to change that, to fill the parks once more (at least for a wee while every couple of weeks) with some talented people capable of carrying a tune or two.”

Stephen Bayley's opinion on the battle for Chelsea Barracks | Art and design | The Observer

“The fabulous absurdity of the media “debate” between Prince Charles and Richard Rogers is that each is a historical relic. The prince is a throwback to the 18th century and beyond, the architect is a suntanned survivor of the 20th. We are now in the 21st, a century with priorities of its own. Charles’s unreflective and ludicrous enthusiasm for anachronism in architecture has its equivalent in Rogers’ dogmatic and doctrinaire insistence on aesthetic conflict with metal and glass.”
