"Struggling to envision a context in which these dense garments could exist, I eventually came up with a movie plot. The time: a not-too-distant future, post-environmental collapse, as seen through the limited technologies and styles of 1979. Kurt Russell stars as a tough Yukon cop in an arctic dystopia. He stumbles upon a glacier and finds, encased within, a living-room set, with four perfectly preserved wealthy women in long, thick beige sweaters with built-in elbow pads ($940); tall, lizard-skin spectator boots ($1,895); and massive amber-tint sunglasses, flash-frozen around a massive chrome coffee table. He thaws them out and takes them as wives, only to refreeze them when their hunting skills prove to be inept and their resurrected conversation bores his favorite sled dog to death."
