Apocalypse Then and Nownew
It's always dangerous to make direct links between current events and pop-culture phenomena: So much time usually lags between the conception of a novel, record, or movie and its eventual release that such connections are, at best, coincidence. Let's just say that the small wave of time-travel movies that started last year with The Butterfly Effect is...interesting.
