It will never not be incredibly weird to me how much of hollywood's history people manage to memory hole despite spending so much of their lives consuming its output. Like the entire reason you have Alien is "woke" people reforming 1950s sci fi. Prior to that nobody like Sigourney Weaver was getting cast to play jack shit ie 2001 or any of the other clarke and asimov adaptations.

Dude, I know it's a hot take here, but 1984 was right. No one remembers anything more than a year ago and mass media just makes up reality as it goes.
