I love looking at the future from the past

It makes me laugh. Back to the future II, etc. Check out this alternate ending for T2.

oh man... 2027 futuristic DC, hammer pants in the park, orange overalls with m-frames and bandana, hover frisbee.. . Its nice that John Conner turned into James Franco though, that was a nice gift. I’ve always said that the way the movies depict the future is a reflection of that generation’s attitudes. Even with a dystopian no hope outcome as shown in T2 people were still generally optimistic about the future. Back to the Future II...same story. Today we get black mirror. No hope but what we make for ourselves.

I like that ending, not just because I’m sentimental. I am. But also because it’s an ending, not a door left open to another sequel. That never happens.

I’m also eternally amused by age progression makeup. It never looks convincing, and often you see the actor for real when they’ve aged and it’s fun to look back and compare.

They always overdo it, it’s like they think the character will somehow forget that sunscreen and moisturizer exist during the next few decades.

Agreed on both count . Someone was saying they should do a deep fake with current linda  Hamilton with this

That would be cool. I checked. She actually looks pretty good still, like she would plug in easily.

Yep. They overdo the skin progression, but what they also  don’t account for is that facial structure can change as tissue remodels over time with altered hormonal balance.

True, particularly the nose and eye sockets (the latter is pretty much ignored by most plastic surgeons).
