The '70s

(2000)

It's like common knowledge that the 1970s sucked serious ass, probably more ass than any other decade that didn't actually have the bubonic plague going on. In fact, they were so fucking lame that everybody decided to end them early and just start the '80s in 1977. You might wonder why they would make a super-long movie about the 1970s then, but I guess it's for the same reason that they make so many movies about war: so people will learn not to make the same mistakes or whatever. This movie starts with four people (a hot blonde chick, a plain chick, a white guy, and a black dude) who are there when a bunch of hippies get blown away (sweet) in 1970. These four have it even worse though- they have to live through the rest of the '70s. Naturally they all end up having these trite adventures: the white guy helps Nixon and is all surprised when he gets busted, even though if he'd read even one Mad magazine he would've known the guy was shady; the black guy gets hassled by the Man (of course); the plain chick becomes like this feminist... you know, the usual crap. Whenever any movie happens in the 1970s that's always the sort of stuff the idiots in it are up to, even though 99% of people back then actually spent most of their time getting drunk or watching The Jeffersons, or, on a super crazy night, both.

In the end none of the main people die and the '70s are over, so I guess technically everybody wins.
