Brian Austin Green was really good in “terminator: the Sarah Connor chronicles”. Unfortunately that was another show that suffered from the Summer Glau curse

Endless Star Wars and Star Trek and now, “adult” superhero films (i.e., not only sexual, but every other sin included as well as as much PCness homosexuality as possible). Is it any wonder that MORE sameness would be extracted over and over again?

I’ve never seen the show. It looks like only two seasons.
You think it’s worth it to watch the show?

One more example of the total lack of originality and creative thinking in today’s entertainment establishment - like the remake of “Ocean’s Eleven” with only women and of “Steel Magnolias” for a primarily black cast - and yet they rake in billions of dollars each year.....

Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles is IMHO one of the best written TV series ever created. I still can’t believe it was on network TV.

What gets me about Grease is that some of its soundtrack are similar to some of the tracks from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the music, not the lyrics of course.

I don’t doubt it’s historical authenticity, but there’s definitely a subtext of moralizing that the creators have that showcase they aren’t at all sympathetic or nostalgic for the way America used to be. That’s all.

NASA is now incapable of even making its own rockets, it has to be outsourced to China.

A favorite moment was Betty letting the kids play with plastic bags that dry cleaning came in. Suffocation wasn’t a thing, then. And the way everybody smoked. I don’t see depicting those as moralizing but that’s just me.

Big Fish is one of my favorite movies. Amazing performances and a great story.

Aah, that was back when the evils of non-forced-diversity casting were rampant. I and Fitty Cent are so glad we have moved on from those dark days! One can almost discern the slave-owner evil in the eyes of these vicious, racist capitalist oppressors.

Sorry, I was confused, I shouldn’t have said China, I meant RUSSIA.

With regards to the Sarah Connor Chronicles it’s well worth watching the first two Terminator movies before starting the series - none of the subsequent movies are relevant to it.

There are a number of tributes to the movie’s creators built in to the TV series. One character is named “Cameron”, another is named “James Ellison”. Harlan Ellison is credited with having first come up with the idea of a robotic soldier sent back in time.
