L.A. Readers! Doc Brown's Landing The DeLorean At The New Beverly Tonight For The BACK TO THE FUTURE Trilogy!!!
Beaks here...
What a surprise. The New Beverly is on another awesome programming roll.
I'll have more on Phil Blankenship's crazy insane film series next Monday; for now, let's concentrate on this evening. Starting at 7:30 PM, The New Beverly will be screening the BACK TO THE FUTURE trilogy in rapid, head-spinning succession. We've known for a while now that Claudia Wells (the original Jennifer) and Jeffrey Weissman (the Other Glover in parts II and III) would be in attendance to bask in your love for these terrific films. Well, late yesterday, the kids at the Bev scored a bit of a coup, and they have evidently convinced Christopher Lloyd to (schedule permitting!) to introduce the first movie!
I know it's last minute, and you're dying to see UP and DRAG ME TO HELL this weekend, but how can you pass up the opportunity to see Doc Brown kick off the BACK TO THE FUTURE trilogy at Los Angeles's best repertory house? Please note that Lloyd's appearance has the ol' "schedule permitting" caveat. That said, in my experience, folks bail on these appearances less than five-percent of the time. I'm sure he'll be there. And if you can't make it Friday, know that Claudia Wells will be back for more time travel on Saturday!
Also, be sure to check out The New Beverly's schedule for the upcoming week. CLASS OF 1984 and 3:15 THE MOMENT OF TRUTH! WITCHBOARD and WITCHTRAP! UNDER SIEGE and the underrated, Sidney J. Furie-directed THE TAKING OF BEVERLY HILLS! THE WIZARD and JOYSTICKS! The Tommy Jarvis FRIDAY THE 13TH trilogy! It's a weeklong geekgasm!

Okay, Chris.
-
I'd love to see this on the big screen...and lloyd would be awesome to see too
-
I can smell this happening..
-
Two cast members that are so insignificant their presence would pale in comparison to my own.
-
on British TV around the time of Back to the future 3. Actually it tends to be repeated as part of one of those "TV's Worst moments" things. <p> He just sat there, staring blankly at the guy who was interviewing him. I mean, this was a national talk show.Funnily enough, Crispin Glover (another Back to the Future alumni), comes off as quite ordinary compared to him. At least he did stuff. If you can find the video,check it out! It's worth it for the look on Mary Steenburgen's face alone.
-
Just wondering...
-
Nothing beats the original but BTTF2 and BTTF3 were about the best possible sequels that could have been made. They don't make movies like these anymore.
-
You know some foolish/greedy studio exec is reading this message board RIGHT NOW, reading YOUR post and rubbing his hands together and saying "YES!!! THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!!!"
-
Biff the greatest valet/cyber punk/millionaire/cowboy character ever created. He hates manure you know.
-
LA is a city of Bullshit, but for this i'd really like to be there right now.<p> And you guys KNOW they are already working on a Back to the Future Remake. It's a given. Shia LeBoef as Marty McFly, Tina Fey as the new female Doc Brown (Hey, it's the NINETIES!!). This time around there will be much more timetravel to exciting times in history (DINOSAURS!! NAPOLEON!!!) and less of that annoying character moments (he has to make his parents fall in love?! GAY!!). Mark my words. After that: Blade Runner remake, rebooting Glengarry Glen Ross and finally the reboot of Batman Begins (so it fits better with Dark Knight)...
-
The second was the weak link in the trilogy, but was still better than most sci-fi films nowadays. I'd take part 2 over Star Trek anyday. Shit, Doc Brown knows more than Spock about time travel!<p> A remake is unthinkable. Another sequel even more so.
-
Hey Chuck, it's Marvin, you know your cousin Marvin Berry. You know that sound you were looking for, well get a load of this!
-
hotter than elisabeth shue..heavy..
-
did not include BluRay. Not busting Mr. LLoyd's balls, but c'mon studios!!
-
Shue has better knockers.
-
Make a between-quel - movie takes place between bttf 1, 2 and 3 without discrediting the movies and sets each movie up. I think this is the only way you could re-do another trilogy without disregarding the old one.
-
err....doesn't Back to the Future II start off RIGHT at the end of Back to the Future?
-
They are perfectly fine additions to the brilliant original. Even the much maligned Part II.
-
three times in a row...can it happen again?
-
IF they were to do a story, I would base it around the first three somehow...i'm not a script writer but i'm sure that they could figure out a way to continue a new series while still maintaining the originals in tact instead of recasting another marty mcfly and doc brown - hell Lloyd would probably come back for another three...
-
Start it at the end of part 3 and intertwine part 2 and 1 again...
-
Showing his personal 70mm prints of ALIENS and THE ABYSS SPECIAL EDITION. Somebody better be thee covering this!!!
-
...NOT the New Beverly. Just an FYI...
-
You seriously need to watch it buddy. People might get the impression you're in favor of an abomination like this. They'll chop off your head!
-
It's better than an unnecessary reboot my friend. Either continue the series with another story line or let it rest
-
and if you can incorporate the original story somehow...why not? I hate when sequels are made and they don't reference the other movies as if they never happened
-
For some reason, the Back to the Future trilogy is playing at BOTH the New Bev and the Aero on Saturday. (As well as Friday at the New Bev.) But Christopher Lloyd and Claudia Wells are tentatively scheduled for the New Bev apperance. (Christopher on Friday, Claudia for both nights.) I'd go tonight, except I have a ticket for the James Cameron event at the Aero.
-
With that lame ass tacked on nuclear disarmament message? I prefer the original even if it is way too long.
-
even if you can't pronounce it.
-
We need someone here to tell us later how did this go. THIS is how you do it, re-relase it, instead of rebooting.
-
One fucking afternoon isn't enough time for an OC guy to make plans to drive up to LA for an event like this. <p> Shit! <P> Now, I need a fucking time machine of my own.
-
We'll be back in tiiiiiime. Huey Lewis and the fucking news. The original was the first movie I seen in the theater as a kid. The first i remember anyways. We had seen ET and Return of the Jedi but I was to young to remember anything but standing in line.
-
They should let it rest of course!! There's no way any continuation of the Back to the Future movies could be good, be it reboot or sequel. It's like coming along and saying you're gonna write a sequel to Moby Dick - sure, it could be fun. But it sure as hell is not gonna be better than Moby Dick, it's been too long and it was perfect THEN. (Not that i'm saying BTTF is comparable to Moby Dick)<p> Sadly, this doesn't matter, and the fuckers WILL remake it. Or reboot or what the expression will be then (in 2011 we say "recharge"!). Nothing we can do about it...
-
For years I've been wondering why Hollywood didn't just re-release big film instead of remaking them. They could throw tons of fuckin money into the marketing and re-release hype and it'd still be cheaper and less maligned than any remake. <p> Just as long as they didn't let Lucas "retouch" any special effects or replace any guns with walkie talkies. Oh, they were SPECIAL editions alright...
-
if they must create something new is make a videogame like the new one coming out shortly for Ghostbusters. That thing looks fan-fuckin-tastic. A BTTF game could play out kind of like Grand Theft Auto, only you pretty much just drive/fly the Deloreon. <p> Somewhere on YoutTube there's footage of a GTA mod that allows you to drive/fly the BTTF Deloreon. pretty cool.

by lockesbrokenleg
TODAY!
-
they cut the screentime for George McFly (esp in Pt 2) and replaced him with a "look-alike" or reused clips from Part 1.
-
Progress is his middle name.
-
Maybe you are, and you just don't know it yet.
-
Just reading all these quotes gave me a warm feeling inside. Back To The Future is such a perfect movie, i love it!
-
reminds me why we're so angry at Zemeckis' love of mocap. Look at what he created with a crackerjack script and real live actors...timeless classics (well, at least 1).
-
better education,and HOLY SHIT IT'S 1955!
-
What about Saturday?
-
Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?
-
Jennifer, my mom would freak out and give me this standard lecture abouthow she never did that kind of thing when she was a kid.
-
you mean a dance?
-
With Alex P. Keaton and Marty McFly he created back-to-back two awesome characters with attitude, wit, spunk and a touch of human vulnerability.
-
Hoverboards don't work on water... unless you've got POWER!
-
on BTTF2, i think it was a great sequel, and back in the day i thought it was the best one. Number 3 still is a the worst one by far
-
People, uh, call me Marty.
-
if you're going to build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?
-
Lorraine, you ever have a kid that acts that way, I'll disown you.
-
Hold it, fellas. I'm afraid you're just too darn loud.
-
it definitely has a different feel from Pt 2 and isn't as altogether solid a film as BTTF 1, but pt 3 is still a great and fun film to watch. <p> The flying train at the end may be a little hokey to some people. And some people hate that it becomes more about Doc and his love life than about Marty. But the way I see it, pt 3 just takes the story in a different direction and I think it does an okay job with it.
-
Was a caffeine free drink, not sugar free. There was a DIET Pepsi Free. I understand the joke doesn't work without saying Pepsi Free and if MJF ordered a Diet Pepsi Free I don't think that would have worked either. I don't think diet drinks existed in the 50s.
-
the first two end with "to be continued" and "to be concluded", so...were the stories for a trilogy outlined from the beginning? i always wondered that
-
Thanks for clarifying. I guess I've been mistaken all these years, but then I never thought too much about it, either. <p> I'll put my extra-geeky BTTF hat back on and explain MJF's "Pepsi Free" line by saying that he wanted the Pepsi free b/c he was already shaken up enough from realizing he went back to 1955 and didn't want the caffeine. BUT, when Lou snaps at him, MJF remembers that not only does Pepsi Free not exist in 1955, the guy probably wouldn't have been familiar with "caffeine" either. SO, he says something without any sugar b/c he just wants something that won't get his heart rate up. Then, ironically, Lou gives him a cup of coffee, which was presumably caffinated. MJF just can't get a break in 1955.
-
I remember reading somewhere from Bob Gale and Zemekis that the "To Be Continued" at the end of Pt1 was kind of a joke. <p> They didn't really have a sequel planned, but thought they COULD take it somewhere if the opportunity came up. it's oen fo the reasons why there was such a long gap between the 1st and 2nd films. It was long enough that MJF had to re-learn how to skateboard for Pt 2.
-
you killed my pine
-
i always wondered that
-
which is why you get "to be concluded" at the end of Pt 2 and why Pt 3 came out the following year (or did pt 2 come out in spring and pt 3 came out in the fall? I can't remember, but you get the idea.)
-
nice one
-
One of the unsung heroes of the 80s. A class act! Even his shit, like the movie where he learns to be the perfect 80s Broker Yuppie (With this and Wall Street i gotta say, man, people were REALLY into investment banking in the 80s! Bizarre.) was tolerable because of him.
-
they Matrix´d BTTF right?
-
The BTTF sequels started it with parts 2 and 3 being shot at the same time. It didn't really work there, and it hasn't ever since (Matrix, Pirates, i'd even include Lord of the Rings but i'm afraid of the anger it would raise. So i don't)
-
heh, yeah, I guess you could say that.
-
For a while now I've had a horrible sinking feeling the Zemeckis will go ahead with a new Back to the Future trilogy. Be it a sequel, reboot, reimagining, retooling, regurgitation... And all in mo-cap. Seriously, that thought scares the shit out of me. Because at the end of the day, mo-cap and digital animation is... on screen... a CARTOON. <p> <p> I miss the old Zemeckis. Who made proper films. I'll bet the only thing stopping this happening is Bob Gale who, all power to him, seems fiercely proud and protective of the Back to the Future trilogy.

...and he can stay in my room!
-
I mean, it's a matter of record that Zemeckis and Gale were turned down by almost everyone due to the plotline back in the early '80s. These days? <p> <p> "Well, he goes back in time, and his mother starts frothing at the crotch for him. <p> <p> Fuck, the suits would have an embolism.
-
what's with the life preserver?

Was NOT in the original film's release. After it made about $100 million and they knew it would have a sequel they tacked "To be continued..." onto all the prints.

Ehhh, you'll find out.
-
your mother is amorously infatuated with you!
-
The first DVD release has the film without the "To Be Continued" on it. I don't know if they put it back on the new release. I wouldn't think so. Also if you listen to Bob Gale on the commentary he says, "If we knew we were going to make a sequel we never would have put the girl in the car." They didn't know what to do with her for the sequels. That's why she's knocked out a lot.
-
George? Oh, well, he's kinda cute and all. But, not...well...
-
I remember that from the commentary now, IndyCollector. I have the DVD box set that came out...I dunno, 4 or 5 years ago? I saw the film SO many times growing up on cable and on the VHS we pirated from HBO that the To Be Continued is ingrained in my memory. But offhand, I don't remember if the DVD set I have has it or not. I'll have to pop it in this weekend and check!
-
You're safe and sound now, back in good ol' 1955. <p> 1955!
-
... is definitely not on the original Region 2 DVD set. I remember being slightly pissed off about that. Purist that I am, I liked that it was on there in its original "as-1985"/cinema-release version... But I first saw BTTF on VHS in '87 as a 10 year old.... I was giddy as... well.. a schoolkid when that flashed up at the end. <p> <p> Bastards made me wait 4 years to come good on that!
-
Yes the first one os the best but the 3rd has a sweet love story and the 2nd has some great time jumping paradoxes. I also love the bad version of the 1980s and the multiple Martys running around. It actually very well as a trilogy.
-
been fun while it lasted, friends
-
You a Don & Mike fan, or just a name coincidence? <P> i was just reading the last few posts before cutting out of here when I saw your post and had to ask.
-
Was on all video releases and TV broadcasts until the first DVD release.
-
Don & Mike? Not sure I follow? I was in the middle of a Rescue Me DVD mini-marathon when I got a log-in tonight!
-
... Tommy Gavin is, as we say in these shores, "the dog's bollocks."
-
Long story about these guys who did a radio show in the Washington DC area (I used to lvie there before moving to California.) <p> The dog's bollocks - ha ha, I like it!
-
Biff once is his life! <p> Never? <p> No. Why? What's the matter? <p>I always thought Doc's response there was a little odd and unexplained. Like a sweater thread they could have pulled, but didn't (cus they didn't need to.)
-
Now, Biff, don't con me.
-
The End
-
... you can accomplish anything! Sound advice for Harry there, what with the girth and sending his wife to get him a slurpee and everything. What? Too soon?
-
Don't even say that out loud. I just hope I was right in what I said above. Bob Gale seems protective and proud of the Trilogy, and (I hope) retains the rights to it. I'm sure if anyone had to go through him to remake it, they'd get nowhere, fast. <p> <p> Then again, I guess we'd all have said that about the likes of John Carpenter or Craven back in the day. Well, here's hoping, eh.
-
Then it will be 2015, and they can make a movie with old Marty (a cameo, sadly) sending his teen daughter Marlene (too early to cast) to intercept Doc upon his first arrival into the future from the end of part 1. Mostly to find out what the hell changed the future he saw into this lackluster version! The movie then becomes about her traveling all over the place (Napoleon? Nah, Time Bandits did it) and meeting famous people in the past, a la Forrest Gump. Thoughts?
-
You could be scarily close to the truth there. Anyone remember a few years back when there were sketchy rumours about bringing back Lloyd as the Doc, pairing him with Sarah Michelle Gellar as a new sidekick, and going on adventures into history and pre-history? Dinosaurs, Romans, World War I and stuff? <p> <p> What made BTTF work was basing it in one town around one family. Shit, Hill Valley practically WAS the third principal character in those films. <p> <p> Great movies, great trilogy. Probably soon to be shat all over.
-
It would more than likely involve dinosaurs and all that shit. Infact, it would probably look something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhlW8o2PJOE&feature=email
-
... someone did a half-decent job with that YouTube trailer. Fuck it, I'd watch it. <p> <p> Just please god no reboot.

The fact that Hill Valley became a character centered the trilog
by Lovecraftfan
As someone said above the fact that Hill Valley and specifically its main Street square kept reappearing really centered the one long story that is the trilogy.
-
Star Trek was never about Shinzon's coup or politicking or technobabble or having an army of Continuity Police poring over every line of dialogue and costume and haircut. <p> <p> It was about a cool-as-fuck starship captain, his pointy-eared mate, and an irascible doctor, bounding round the stars, getting into scrapes. They'd defeat the bad guys, Kirk would get it on with some alien chick, after outwitting his enemies with cunning, bravado, skill, and sheer bullshitting - and off we went again. <p> <p> Maybe, just maybe, if they slip some of the original Trek's social commentary, whatever you want to call it, into the next film, and give people something more to think about afterwards than "shit, that Chris Pine will be big after this..." ... we'll all be happy.
-
Wrong talkback, sorry.
-
"Marty, before i just hand over the sweet car/time machine hybrid which i worked my ass off over to you to fuck around with, i should ask you to at least massage my wrinkled billy goat balls and polish my sausage!"
-
Why the fuck are you still here anyway?
-
But Biff's laugh after he throws the kids' ball up on someone's upper balcony after he leaves his grandmother's house to pick up his car in Part II is gold.
-
... was gold. Every line of profanity really badly dubbed out. <p> <p> Nothing can touch the TV edit of Die Hard 2 though. "Yippee-ky-ay... MELON FARMER." <p> <p> That's actual fucking genius in and of itself.
-
After Marty saw his Dad on the tree.
-
Marty: Ronald Reagan Doc: Haa, and the Vice President must be Jerry Lewis.
-
my car!
-
I thought the same thing about the "Never? No what's the matter?" line too. My theory is that Doc was worried that since George knocked out Biff that Biff might go after Goerge later (ala BTTF2) and thus once again upset the space time continuum. Since there's nothing he can really do about it at that point Doc just shrugs it off.
-
CLEAN UP HILL VALLEY! SAVE THE CLOCKTOWER WHILE YOU'RE AT IT!
-
They'd make it a dirty, CGI driven, campy sex farce. The sweet innocence of the plot would be completely lost on the suits. Zemeckis even said that Disney thought the movie was too dirty and everyone else thought it wasn't dirty enough. It's kind of a miracle it even got made. Spielberg was at his apex at that point so I'm sure that had something to do with it.
-
MARVIN BERRY. Remember that sound you were looking for? Well listen to this.*holds phone out*
-
But the one great thing about it...THE ATROCITY CHANNEL. Now that was truly funny, and probably only a few years away from real life.
-
Although, it only really, really gets going when Marty's back running around 1955 again--when it's starts mixing freely with the first movie, becoming this weird meta-movie, I'm totally into it.
-
Marvin Berry? Well, listen, you should steal your sound from some white kid because you know how we black people think white kid music is so cool and stuff. Because, obviously, Michael J. Fox is really responsible for Chuck Berry's distinctive sound. Had to be a white guy!
-
Best trilogy evah. Loved all 3 films. Beats any other trilogy, including the original Star Wars. Poor Michael Fox. Hope he's doing better these days...
-
Anyone ever seen footage of BTTF with him? From what I understand they were through a good portion of the film before they realized he was wrong for the part.
-
and one of them when he's eight years old accidentally sets fire to the living room rug... go easy on him.
-
Jeez Louise! Jeez Louise, Doc, you disintegrated Einstein!<p> You cost three-hundred-bucks damage to my car, you son of a butthead. And I'm gonna take it out of your hide. Hold him!<p> What happens to us in the future? What, do we become jerks or something?

What is it, Einie?

Still yummy.

That's like a baby's toy!

...TWO McFlys with the same gun.

...is quotable.

There seems to be lots of confusion on this point. TommyGavinsEgo, "To Be Continued" was never on the end of the movie in theaters - it was added to the VHS version. So if you're a purist, you should be happy that the DVD went back to how it was in theaters, without it. But it goes to show you the power of VHS - we all watched the movie so many times on video, we swear the movie said "To Be Continued" at the end in the theater to, when it never did.
-
I meant too, not to. As always, an edit function would rule, AICN guys.

Damn You Michael Bay

those boards don't work on watah unless you got POWER!
-
The reason Doc responds that way to Marty's story of the Bif's knockout by George is because Doc realizes that the future Marty is returning to might not be the same as the one he remembers (and he was correct in his suspicion).
-
JFOX will always get love from me, and it will be a gentle love. From an existential standpoint, "Teen Wolf" answered just about every question I ever needed to know.
-
And was the audience treated to Grumpy Reverend Jim?
-
I personally hate how the DVD and TV broadcast's don't include the "To Be Continued". It always got me pumped, well after the trilogy was completed.<p> Whenever the Blu-rays come out, I want a seamless branching option to let me decide if I want to see "To Be Continued" at the end or not.
-
Yes, of course, the first one is a true masterpiece! A perfet film with a perfect script, but the sheer joy of having some of the moments of the first film re-visited in Part II, from a different point of view, of having the new characters re-interacting with the old ones, was a stroke of genious... Part III is the lamest, but that has mainly to do with the pacing and the Old West backround... Having said that, it's a nice conclusion to the trilogy!!!
-
I love that quote! Teenwolf and Back to the Future. It doesn't get better. Went to LA and drove round to the locations for both. Very significant moment in a young mans life.

"...for one of the boys down at the gravel pit. A haha! ...He just got paroled. Well the boss called you right? ...Well I got uh, plenty a bread. Here! Here's a little extra for you." Genius.

GIANT PIG!!!

hes already reverted into human form! shoot it!
-
Love how Lloyd says that.
-
CRRRRAAAASSSHHHH!!!
-
That would have been ALMOST as cool as seeing Leonard Nimoy at the Alamo Drafthouse to present the new Star Trek. No offense to Mr. Lloyd, but arriving in a DeLorean would have been fantastic. One that actually "landed" via suspension cables or whatever would have made history. So, thank you Beaks for disappointing me yet again.

*cue Alan Silvestri's rousing score as Marty pulls away*
-
...What kind of stupid name is that?!?"
-
FOR FUN?
-
The best and only way to 'reboot' BTTF is to go the Ghostbusters route and make a video game. CGI in Fox and Lloyd, get their voices (Fox can handle some recording sessions, no?), and call it good.

I used to watch the first one on vhs about twice a week as a kid and it's still one of my favorite movies, but never liked part 2 because it throws away the first one's logic. When Doc send Einstein a minute into the future he's gone for that minute, so why would Doc bring Marty to the future to fix his life when he knows that Marty wouldn't exist in the future if he left in 1985?
-
Simple, really: Einstein never travelled BACK in time. He stayed in the future. Marty came back to 1985. <p> See? Now you too can enjoy part 2!
-
I finally reconciled the logic of Part II's trip to the future... the longer he stays out of his own time, the odds go down that he'll maintain the course of his life, a la the disappearing photograph from Pt. 1. There's a delay, so as long as he makes it back within enough time, it doesn't affect his future.
-
I guess I can accept that, still was never too fond of part 2 for some reason, though I did dream and pray for a hover board for years after I saw it
-
"No, Biff . . . you leave her alone." Crispin's Glovers delivery of that line always gets me. The raw courage little George McFly shows, followed by the Best Punch Of The Eighties. Movie magic.

It doesn't really make sense that there would be an Old Marty in 2015, since young Marty has left the past. Yes, he's going to go back eventually, but he hasn't done so YET. And in fact, when he does go back, he changes things so that some of the future he saw will never happen (e.g. he doesn't get in the accident with the other car)--so where did that version of him come from in the first place? <P>Sure, you could say that it's a "possible future", or a version of the future that would happen if nothing else changed, but that doesn't really make sense, given the rules of time travel that BTTF has established (it might make sense in a "Lost" time travel system, where the timeline seems to be essentially set and unchangeable, and where if you try to prevent something from happening, you will probably end up causing it in the first place).
-
Robert Zemeckis talks pretty frankly about the difference between the first movie and the other two. He more or less says that the first is an original production that he put his heart into, but that a sequel is something else; it's a product, designed purely to make money, and it has to meet certain preconceived expectations while all the time acknowledging that it will never recreate the magic of the first one. <P>It's kind of refreshing to hear a director actually admit that, because BTTF 2 and 3 do feel a lot like parodies of the sincerity and heart that the first one had, even if they are a lot of fun (Part 2 especially exploring some of the complex issues dealing with time travel and changing the timeline).<P> It's also interesting to see the original idea for Part 2 (Marty ends up going back to the 60s and seeing what his parents were doing then and almost preventing himself from being born--there's a script out there online somewhere). But they ended up having to do a massive rewrite when they couldn't get Crispin Glover to come back, leading to them having to re-use scenes from Part 1, which led to the version of Part 2 we have.

Late in the summer of 1985, about to start fourth grade. My ten-years-older sister takes me and my other sister to the drive-in for a double-bill. First we see Mask, which is depressing and slow, but for a movie I only saw once when I was nine, it sure made a lasting impression. Then Back to the Future came on and I was riveted to the screen as I have been only a few other times, mainly when I was young... E.T., Batman, Terminator 2... man those movies could capture and hold your attention (Batman being the weakest in hindsight).
-
...with Marty time travelling back 30 years to...1985!<BR><BR>Christ, I feel old...

I didn't have time to build it to scale or to paint it.

On the way to Canter's. We drove by the New Bev and there it was in all its flux capaciting glory. Very cool!

I thought you told me to film you assraping your dog and then make your grandma eat her own turgid feces and put it on scatlovers?

in the history of Hill Valley. Well, history is gonna change.
-
...but I still enjoy all 3 of them and the third is probably my favorite. They are just plain fun. That is all...

Do a new series of films starring a grown-up Jules and Verne Brown as they adventure through time and space in their awesome flying train! Get some dreamy young hulks from TWILIGHT or whatever to play J&V, get Christopher Lloyd and Mary Steenburgen back as Doc Brown and Momma Brown, and you've got yourself a blockbuster of historic proportions! DO IT.

Are we doing anything tuesday? No, Tuesday would be fine - you can kill him on Tuesday.
-
Perfect.
-
I remember your father, he was a slacker too. No McFly ever amounted to anything in the history of Hill Valley.
-
Why is everything so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earths gravitational pull?......What?
-
Nice run of BTTF quotes up there Friday night. You got some classic I was trying to think of, but could pull.
-
in the event you ever come back to look at this thread.... <p> thanks for the insights. Both of those make sense. Dingbatty, I think you ultimately may be right. If I ever see Bob Gale, it's the first thing I'll ask him! (kidding) <p> Actually, it makes pretty simple sense when you put it that way, Dingbatty. And the simplest solution is often the best one.
