It’s not the special effect the problem here, it’s the delivery and the editing that’s comedic. I can make an abstraction of the technology of the time for an old movie. Bad editing is still bad. 1993 Jurassic Park CGI didn’t aged that well but it’s still a better movie than all the recent Jurassic World movies.

QEMM was some of the most must-have software that existed in the early 90s.

I worked at Software Etc. (what has now become GameStop) back in 1993-1997. One of the perks of working there was you could 'check out' software (usually games) for a week to try it, was a good way to learn about the software to help inform customers. We all had copies of everything we'd ever need from the store all for the cost of blank floppies (which we got at a discount). DOS 6.22, Windows 3.11 for Workgroups, QEMM, QModem Pro, and a few others, were always at the front of my disk case.

Seems like you missed the last sentence from my original comment then. Your $20 Costco blanket, whilst great, isn't indicative of the planets condition. It won't save you when this rock becomes uninhabitable to live on.

Seems like my down-voters and replyers are all focusing on the human element, and not what my original comment was addressed at... The Earth. And we wonder why we are in this mess.
