This version of the Blue Screen of Death (1995) is closer to 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968 - 27 years) than it is to the present day (2025 - 30 years).
Telling truths and such. How dare you.
How is that possible when the 90s were just 10 years ago.
No, you're thinking about the zeroes. Those were 10 years ago.
Funfact: HAL9000 singing "Daisy" when pulling circuit boards is a reference to the IBM 7094 using the first speech synth in 1961, which was just 7 years before the movie.
And much closer to 2001 as well!
