    We have a stack of movies that we’re watching with our soon to be Film and Media Studies major, and today’s selection was The Terminal with Tom Hanks. I had forgotten what a sweet movie it is, and also found that it hits very differently during this age of tyranny and injustice for immigrants. Ugh.

    Zoe Saldana played Uhura in Star Trek, and before that played a Trekkie in The Terminal; Steven Spielberg, who is friends with George Lucas, taught her how to do the Vulcan salute for that movie, which is why she does it wrong.

    Biggest revelation of my big, leisurely, on-off Spielberg rewatch is that I like THE TERMINAL now?? Tougher, darker movie about America than the one I remembered, with far fewer bum notes.

    Andor dated Uhura! I forgot that Diego Luna and Zoe Saldana played Trekkies in THE TERMINAL. It's a cute film. Now it's coming back to me. Saldana's character enjoyed dressing up as Yeoman Rand at conventions. Man, if they'd said 'Uhura' instead, this movie would have been prescient.

    - but it does feel less like Odysseus being turned away from Ithaca, and more Tom Hanks' movie the Terminal. Maybe I'll meet a cute Catherine Zeta Jones type who will help me get the signature of a jazz musician - the last wish of a father who passed away - after I made enemies of Stanley Tucci.

    The Terminal Man – directed by Mike Hodges – opened today in 1974. Based on Michael Crichton’s science fiction novel of the same name, the film explores the mind control & technology – & features George Segal (an A-list actor in this era who was cast against type here), Joan Hackett & Richard Dysart
