I am also very fond of Cocoon - and really enjoyed your look behind the scenes. I also tend to forget that Wilford Brimley was playing old guys while he was in his 50's - jeepers, did that guy ever look young? I mean, he was only 6 years older than I am now in Cocoon - but he fit right in with the other gentlemen. (I'd like to think that in six years I still would stick out like a sore thumb if digitally inserted into Cocoon over Mr. Brimley.)<br /><br />The movie is a feel-good picture in the very best sense of the phrase - and Mr. Howard made the right decision staying away from the pedestrian sequel which does nothing to add to or enhance the story from the original.Craig Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037542638067599437noreply@blogger.com
