   Some great time travel movies.

   “Predestination” based on a Robert Heinlein story. One cool thing is that the film makers decided to make the movie look like the future Heinlein originally envisioned. It was originally written in about 1950, so the “1975” of the movie bears little relation to the 1975 we know.

   “Time After Time.” Malcolm McDowell as HG Wells. Wells has invented a time machine but is afraid to use it himself. His good friend, Jack The Ripper, has no qualms. Wells is forced to follow him to 1979 San Francisco.

   “Somewhere In Time.” Christopher Reeve as an author whofalls in love with a photograph of a woman who has been dead for decades…

   Nerd alert. imho the greatest “girl power” was Big Bertha. Created by John Byrne for the Great Lakes Avengers, she was a supermodel who had the ability to turn herself into a circus fat lady with the strength and durability of The Thing.

   Come to think of it, that was also Bouncing Boy’s power.

   Look up Great Lakes Avengers.

   A lot of the high ranking cops you see in the background of TV shows are actually retired police. They get to put on their old uniforms and get paid to show up and have lunch.
