I finally finished the Mel Brooks book. That was very fun, and as a result I now have a much bigger watchlist. Last week I watched a special called “In Search of Tomorrow – The Definitive 80’s Sci-Fi Documentary”. I thought it was your basic documentary, maybe 90 minutes to 2 hours long… Then, after a couple hours of watching it (and taking notes) I checked my progress and realized I wasn’t even halfway through it! It’s a 5-hour-long documentary! But in this case, that’s a GOOD thing. I loved all of the details about the 80’s and sci-fi, not to mention the occasional Wil Wheaton pop-in I wasn’t expecting.

I learned about many classic gems I hadn’t even heard of before in here, including Flight of the Navigator, Galaxina, Collossus: The Forbin Project, Saturn 3, Cherry 2000, Mac and Me and many others. There goes my watchlist again. Other classics were in there that I had watched before, but remembered very little of them because I was so young when I saw them, like Disney’s the Computer Wore Tennis Shoes, starting Kurt Russell as a kid, Fantastic Voyage, Alien Nation, and Outland. More Watchlist fodder.

There were even older classics from the 70’s and 90’s–responsible for the inspiration of some other movies, which I’m now also interesting in seeing. My Watchlist just grows and grows.

New releases lately that I’m interested in and have added to my watchlist: Jurassic World Dominion, Adeline, The Royal, Hello, Goodbye and Everything In Between, and a few others.

That’s about it. Tons to watch and so little time. I gotta go get to it.
