I'm a little disappointed that Cocoon and Batteries Not Included are the only entries in the "old people meet aliens" genre, you'd think we have enough old people and aliens to keep this going

A couple of points of note…

…from rewatching a bunch of old 80s movies:

While the "evil developer" has been a regular Hollywood villain since the 30s and 40s, it really seemed to have peaked in the 80s.

Given various factors, I'm surprised it hasn't seen a resurgence (though this gets to that "modern villain" vs. "postmodern villain" distinction).

From Amblin/Universal Pictures, another forgotten in time. A movie about small extraterrestrial living spaceships, "Batteries Not Included, 1987." The "Baby Fix-Its", "Jetsam", "Wheems", and "Flotsam". This was my childhood in general. Mainly Amblin/Universal, with several Disney and couple of Warner Bros. made Movies. Highly recommend, to watch this once again during the Covid-19 StayHome.

Lazer Tag comic book ad, 1986. This seems to imply that the dog can talk, and no one thinks that's not normal.

Mom said death is like when you are put out pre surgery. Just black. She is unsure if there is an after life.

From Disney’s “Batteries Not Included” (movie):  

“The quickest way to end a miracle is to ask it why it is or what it wants.”

“People are most interesting under 10 because they don’t know and over 70 because they don’t care.

“What is a well lived life?”

Mom and I watched the movie “Giant” together.

She recalls James Dean, Liz Taylor and Rock Hudson.

At one point in the film, Liz says to an older man “In 25 years, I’ll be almost 50, and the older man replies “Yes, but you will have lived it. It will be good at 50.”

Note: The above took place in my parent’s house in Atwater, California as my father lay in a hospital bed in  my parent’s bed room slowly dying. He would die October 9, 2000.

“Giant" came out in 1956.

"Batterie’s Not Included" came out in 1987
