Logan's Run (1976)
Who can forget this classic sci-fi movie about a world that when you reached a certain age, you were automatically expected to dispose of self in some evaporator device.
In this movie, I think once over the age of 21? or 25, you were considered a threat, wow.
Logan's run has since become a cult classic, and at the time may have been a bit ahead of it's time.
Speaking of 'evaporator' though, sometimes I wonder if there really was some kind of location with gigantic evaporator, I wonder how many people on this planet, when just tired of living, would throw selves into such a room or device?
Would it be thousands or millions?
Much more to follow.
We deal in real thoughts here, not make believe feel good stuff.

grapes of the Corn, the original one
I doubt this is the original trailer, but close enough.
This movie deals with a bunch of muffins, minors, those not considered adults by I guess some 'demon', who are ordered to hack to death all adults.
So in this horror movie here, once you reached adulthood, you were expected to sacrifice self to 'corn demon'.
How convient for the corn demon, a steady supply of food..hmm.
But again, like Logan's run, this movie deals with aging in a harsh way, in that once over the age of 18-21 your, our, usefulness was done.
What if such a world or society really did exist, where full maturity and usefulness came at age 20 or so?
One can only wonder.

The taking of Deborah Logan
This movie for sure deals with growing old, but in a 'horror movie' type of way.
Alzeimers disease, a serial killer, paranormal snakes and more...all the ghosts from this woman's past definately come back to bite this old lady.
But I think her daughter, is really a 'man' or male or use to be.

Most movies just suck, the music is wrong, the people they cast are wrong...
Why?
Cause most of them have never lived real life.
Real life is the scariest horror movie over...that most don't realize.

Capone - 2020
This movie here, about Capone, actually focuses on his latter years, when released from Alcatraz and has syphilis and dementia.
The movie takes place in his Miami Mansion as his family, wife and ect, take care of him even as he's losing his mind.
I only watched a small part of the movie....I was more interested in the younger Capone.
He was a ruthless monster, so why should I care how he spent his final years?
I mean he spent his final years living off of blood money, and living better than most of us will live, that's for sure.
I mean 'god' or someone took care of his fiscal needs, that's for sure.
I mean lot's of mobsters and cartel members seem to live well, send their muffins to top notch Universities, while committing violent acts against others, yet they still prosper.
But if good, obey and the law and all, believe in 'god' and all, can't even afford a newer car or other small luxuries of life.
I think god or fate just decides ahead of time who they want to bless, regardless of your or our characters.
I mean obviously if evil, and god wants to bless you anyways, he will, cause that's pretty much all we see in this world, is millionaire and billionaire evil people living lives of luxury while the rest of us goody tushue types struggle to eat.

Old (Yep, that's the name of this sci-fi horror movie
This is a odd one, with a diverse cast, but it works, it doesn't feel forced.
Some diverse casts feel totally forced, this one feels more natural, seeing as it takes place on a vacation Island somewhere.
Vacationers find themselves on a secret beach location (invite only) and for some reason things grow old, and wounds heal, and other odd stuff.
I'm still watching the movie, about halfway done, so I have no idea how it ends, but so far, so good.

When you get to be my age, everything and movie seems to be about growing older.
Lately though, I just seem to watch a few of my favorite movies over and over again, cause it's so hard to find new movies that interest me.

Dinosaurs don't roar, OK
1. Dinosaurs don't scream....people scream and posture, not lizards.
Stop making dinosaurs behave and act like humans.
2. What lame scientist sends his loved ones or colleagues to an Island literally on the brink of volcanic annihilation, and then when there, they all act shocked and surprised at natures unfolding events.
3. Why do mega ton weighing dinosaurs even care about eating a human? When there's other prey around much juicier and filled with more calories.
Like in beginning when that gigantic sea creature spent all that energy just for what, a metal ladder and some human? Nature doesn't have that kind of energy to waste on such a small meal. Again, stop making dinosaurs act and behave like humans, as if they have a grudge.
Reptiles don't hold grudges, either they're hungry or they're not.
And I'll stop there for now.
