Decker pretty much did the same thing to Rachel in Blade Runner. Even as a kid that scene kind of disturbed me.

Apparently she was cool with it, though.

As much as we all roll our eyes at political correctness, I have to say that it's probably good for empathy in many respects. I've seen several movies from the 1970s and 1980s in recent years where my jaw dropped at how different types of people (mostly minority people, women, and gays) were portrayed or mentioned. And this is not ancient history - this is when many of us were in high school.

That said, I'm not going to condemn the movies or say that people shouldn't watch them. They're a product of their times, and they can still be good movies. But wow, I see some scenes differently now than I did back then.

So many of the same shit over and over and over and over. Worse is the stupid remakes that suck balls or worse yet the horrible prequels/sequels.

I'll start with two:

One on One
starred: Robby Benson, Annette O Toole and GD Spradlin.
Plot: High School All Star BB players goes to college and is not so special anymore

Divorcing Jack
only known actor/actress is Rachel Griffiths
Divorcing Jack is a 1998 satirical black comedy. The plot is set around the Northern Irish reporter Dan Starkey who gets entangled in a web of political intrigue and Irish sectarian violence, at the same time as Northern Ireland is set to elect a new Prime Minister. Writer Colin Bateman adapted his own 1995 book as the screenplay.

I would also love to see "The White Shadow", "James at 15" and "Family" television series replayed from start to finish.

Starring Peter Weller before he was Robocop. It also starred Christopher Collett from “ The Manhattan Project”, Terri Garr, and a young Corey Haim (I think it was his first film). They used to show it on HBO all the time but I haven’t seen it on tv in about 25 years. Weller really showed his acting chops in this one.

Does anyone remember an old Charles Bronson movie called "From Noon Till Three"? I remember seeing it on TV when I was a teen and it really struck me because it was a western that wasn't really a western and had a couple of odd plot twists. I thought it was a made-for-TV movie, but it looks like maybe it was in theaters. There are a few reviews of it online that are very mixed. I'd be interested in seeing it again to see if 59 year old me would have a different impression of it than 13 year old me.

FYI.. It's on Amazon Prime. Watched it many many years ago. Think I might check it out again.
