The winner of the grand prize package is Glenn Rubenstein!
The runners-up are Robert Christensen, Aron Pence, Brian Zibricky and Michael Gromek.
Congratulations, fellas!
In connection with the October 26th release of the BACK TO THE FUTURE 25th Anniversary Trilogy Blu-ray, AICN has a handful of prizes to give away to our lovely readers!
The grand prize package is pretty damn awesome: a copy of the Blu-ray trilogy autographed by Michael J. Fox and Lea Thompson, an "OUTATIME" California license plate, and a BACK TO THE FUTURE III time machine (i.e. a miniature DeLorean collectible). There are also four (4) un-autographed copies of the trilogy up for grabs as well!
Interested? Well, shoot an email to aintitcoolcontests@gmail.com right this instant with the following info...

The 88thth emailer with the correct titles of all three movies will receive the grand prize package.

Heh... should have read the talkback before sending the e-mail.

Since I'm way too late. <p> Maybe next time you do something like this, it could be spread out with the runners-up prizes going to something like the 188th entry, the 288th entry, the 388th entry... <p> Well, actually, I suppose I wouldn't want to count out all of those entries either.
-
Congrats to you all.
-
I hate to feel disappointment when gettin' a dope $50 BD set I lusted after for free, but I still do, heh! Congrats Rubenstein!
-
By the time I found out about this contest, it was already over. And I only found out 6 minutes ago...
-
your existence in this universe.

Way to screw over those of us who work for a living. Check out Herc's contests. 9 times out of 10, his contests are on weekends or late afternoon.

This was a trick question and Beaks didn't even know it!!!!
by apprentics
The Essex Theater was only in 1955 and 1985. In was NOT THERE IN 2015!!! The HOLOMAX was there in its place. Although, Jaws 19 was playing there. But I should have gotten one of those BD sets since it appears that I know more than the person who started this contest!
-
I won that fucking contest and have yet to get my book. Also, what's up with the Last of the Mohicans contest????
-
"So, Essex theaters are still around today." Not in Back to the Future Part 2 (the 2015 sequence) it wasn't.
-
Even if it was the same location (and I have no idea if it was in the same spot geographically speaking on the backlot, although it probably was), it was no longer called the Essex Theater. It's like that Mexican Restaurant, Pablo's, that went out of business by my house. It's now a different Mexican restaurant called Yolanda's. Even though it's the same building and it's a Mexican restaurant, and they serve similar food items, it's not Pablo's. AND the trivia question asked what movies played at The Essex Theater. Yes, I'm being geeky and uber-stupid-technical but isn't that what this site is for? This was a trick question and I said that in my submission to Beaks (and still lost...) so it looks like you're not the only one who thinks I'm being stupid...
-
Ok, I totally agree with you. The notion that "people change more than the buildings" could easily be argued as a theme/idea in BTTF. So, I'm not sure what we are debating over...My problem is specifically with the trivia contest. It asked what movies played at The Esssex Theater in 1955, 1985, and 2015. Well, technically speaking, The Essex Theater wasn't around in the 2015-era of BTTF and this contest didn't take that into consideration. It was a trick question, that was inadvertently a trick question because Beaks didn't catch that little bit of detail. He assumed the The Essex theater existed in all 3 BTTF-eras. That's my gripe.
-
...It had changed names, and was therefore no longer The Essex Theater.
-
Please? Count all of your emails until you find me! By hand!
-
Fucking perfect film- I wouldn't change a frame. Lea Thompson is a fucking sex bomb. They gave us special edition movie posters after the screening let out. Fanboy Paradise!
-
you guys are all clamoring over a copy of this Blu Ray set that's no doubt torn to unrecognizable shreds from MJF trying to "autograph" it? I bet they have to sit him down in a padded room for autograph sessions just so he doesn't kill innocent bystanders when shit gets flung about in random directions.
-
You deserve to get his condition, but the worlds not that fair, asshole.
-
I've seen that movie probably 100x but there's something about seeing it with an audience. The house was packed and everybody was totally into it. Best theater experience I've had in a long time. Why don't they make movies like this anymore?
-
You don't know the half of it! I walk the streets of this wretched town nonchalantly kicking dogs and dumping buckets of acid onto toddlers. This Halloween, you know what I'm gonna do? You've heard of people putting razor blades in apples to give out to trick-or-treaters? Fuck that shit! I'm gonna put dirty bombs inside dulcinea watermelons. Yeah. I'm one sick fuck, be sure of that.
-
had a really good time, and definitely appreciated the poster they gave us at the end. i really enjoyed watching a very innocent (aside from all the borderline incest, of course) film being obviously enjoyed by a nearly packed theater near baltimore on a monday night. wish studios would do this more often.

One question I asked my buddy while watching it tonight:
by YackBacker
Was everyone raping women back in 1955? Biff, sure, I get that, but what about that red-headed dick from the dance? If that shit happened today, ten dudes would have gotten to him before George. And Marty would have ceased to exist!<p> And bonus points for this movie employing the phrase "peckerwood." That one always cracks me up.
-
"Fuck" and "you."<p> That said, I guess this wasn't much of a contest, eh? Entry time wasn't even half a day long.
-
the film still holds up DAMN well 25 years later. Awesome seeing it with a full-house crowd who loves the film. Saw a guy with a "Enchantment Under The Sea Dance" shirt...wondered where he got it...
-
thanks, i'm in europe and your competition started and finished around midnight on a Monday! Mid afternoon for you yanks and still took an hour or so for 88 of you to get your fingers out..wake up!
