Term limits aren't the consuming issue they were a decade ago, when 21 states voted to restrict their members of Congress and state legislators to a fixed duration in office.
Knowing that term limits remain overwhelmingly popular, California's pols decided they didn't dare ask voters to repeal the state's limits of six years in the Assembly or eight years in the Senate.
Under the guise of protecting term limits, the initiative would have allowed any incumbent to stay in office four extra years by getting the signatures of one-fifth the number of people who voted in the last election.

 Up & Coming Magazine
A recent study examining the effects of term limits on legislatures in six states came to the not-so-startling conclusion that they have tipped the balance of power in favor of the executive branch.
The study also found that term limits failed to reduce the number of legislators who view politics as profession, one of the promises of the 1990s government reform movement that initially led 21 states to limit legislative terms.
Those who believed that term limits were going to be the panacea to fix all that is wrong in government were kidding themselves from the outset.

Terms of Endearment (1983) is a comedy/drama classic, an entertaining film, but also a manipulative, soap-operatic melodramatic tearjerker, with an ending similar to Dark Victory (1939) and Love Story (1970).

Terms of Endearment was the overwhelming favorite at the 1983 Academy Awards, James L. Brooks' motion picture debut after immortalizing himself with work on television series like The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Rhoda, and Taxi (and later his crowning achievement, The Simpsons).
But watched now, it's hard to understand what all the fuss was about, as Terms of Endearment comes off merely as a moderately clever soap opera.
If this seems like harsh criticism of Terms of Endearment, it is in part because Brooks' comic melodrama was honored over Ingmar Bergman's astonishing five hour (in its original version) epic about the isolation and powerlessness of childhood, Fanny and Alexander.

 The DVD Journal | Quick Reviews: Terms of Endearment
Despite being a benchmark of the chick-flick/tearjerker genre, Endearment is about a mother and daughter who hate and love each other, men who don't understand how to behave or commit, and manipulative plot devices (like a slow death from cancer).
If Terms of Endearment is somewhat guilty of a maudlin tug or two at the heartstrings, the appallingly negative attitude the movie imparts towards men is, by current standards, almost scandalous.
Paramount's DVD release of Terms of Endearment is presented in anamorphic widescreen (1.85:1) with audio in a Dolby Digital 5.1 remix or Dolby 2.0 mono.
