Back To The Future day

[Kev2442]

Come on guys, I'm surprised no one ever said anything yet.
So as you might know, in BTTF II, Marty arrives in the future Hill Valley on the 21st of October, in 2015, at 16:29, californian daylight-saving time.
Today is a big day for Sci-Fi fans of the world.
BTTF II is now talking about the past. The future is officially not our future anymore.

What do you guys have to say about the series ? Which was your favorite, what do you miss from the movie's 2015 ?
The second is my favorite. And the series make my most beloved movie. Glad there's three of it !
I'm also wearing the Casio watch Marty wears in the movies. Great watch, only thing missing is the backlight.
Who else is gonna watch the movies tonight ? I'll start Part II this evening, I can't be the only one !

- Great Scott !
- I know, this is heavy.

Surprisingly, I know these movies.  
Still waiting for a real Hoverboard, at least there are "real" Nike Air Mag Shoes for a ridiculus high price. No Power-lacing sadly. Pepsi has also released an limited "Pepsi Perfect" bottle for $20.15 -only in the US.

Well, of course the 2. Movie comes today in TV, also in certain cinemas. Let#s wait and see what else will happen today. ^^

I'm a HUGE fan of the series, and I've been seeing all things BTTF today. https://www.amazon.com/gp/gw/ajax/s.html

Here in Vegas tonight at 6pm, the Plaza hotel downtown will be having a get together, as that hotel was used as the back drop for Biff's casino in part 2.

USA today will also be doing something very cool tomorrow: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/usa-today-will-run-back-833463?utm_source=Microsoft&utm_campaign=Syndication&utm_medium=USA+Today+Will+Run+'Back+to+the+Future'+Front+Page+Thursday

For those who want a hover board, here is your chance: http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/iivp/

The "Back In Time" documentary also debuts today. http://backintimefilm.com/ I was a part of this KS, and I'm looking forward to watching this once my Bluray ships out.

Calling for people who didn't see any of the films/series and don't know/care about what's going on.

 

[ible]

i can only interpret the movie as offering a very dim and fatalistic view at human endeavors (that we are only deterministic products of our past), that the elements of choice and free will are not important to the main characters (to change history/future to avoid certain mistakes other characters make), and that is quite an immoral (or at the very least amoral) statement to make.  and then there's the types of success that the movie esteems (money and girls, and perhaps to a lesser extent, family)...

but it's fairly amusing otherwise.

That... that was the exact opposite thing the movie said.  The ending was very clear, the future isn't written, it is what you make of it.

Also, be careful how your life your life, else your children might be born without a head.

Come on guys, I'm surprised no one ever said anything yet.
So as you might know, in BTTF II, Marty arrives in the future Hill Valley on the 21st of October, in 2015, at 16:29, californian daylight-saving time.
Today is a big day for Sci-Fi fans of the world.

I was going to make a thread (at the appropriate time...) if no one else did.  I have had plans to watch all 3 films (considered the cartoon too, but not enough time).  Lucky for me they have been on TV a lot recently.  I have it on one channel (Esquire) right now, and they will show them again in after that.  Another channel (Discovery Family) will be showing them around the same time as the second showing on the other one, and is the channel I currently have on as background noise (Mighty Ducks is on, which I also liked).  It seemed they were on constantly a couple months ago, along with the first 3 Jurassic Park films.

Loot Crate did time travel stuff this month, so I get a couple BTTF things, and some other goodies related to other popular franchises (phone booths and police boxes may be involved).

I am wearing my Marty McPrime (BTTF/Transformers mash-up) t-shirt today.  I had considered getting Marty Jr.'s cap last year, but I decided against it since I would probably only wear it today.  Still upset that powerlaces aren't common, however the pump is back so...  I (VERY) briefly considered getting a replica of Marty's jacket until I saw the price halfway decent ones were going for.  At least I got a hover conversion for my car a few months ago.  Going to see Jaws 19 tomorrow night.  

I don't own a Mac Plus, but might check the local antique shops.  May try to track down a place that has Wild Gunman so I can show kids how to play real games (or maybe just track down Elijah Wood and slap the shit out of him).  Much like Marty in this film, I never got into "retro" games (or computing), I just play some of the same games I have been playing for a while, and here we are decades later and "retro gaming" is whatever it is.  I guess I am into retro movies, too.  There was an episode of Mr. Robot where Back to the Future 2 was mentioned.

 

The ending was very clear, the future isn't written, it is what you make of it.

Not until part 3, though.  I think some people that never saw the last one may see it the other way, or maybe ible was mostly talking about Biff.

 

And fill the SD with 1.21 Jigabytes 

FTFY.

Nah, that only happens when kids travel back in time and date their parents while trying to prevent the death of the weird old man they hang out with after school/in the middle of the night.  Or maybe when they are trying to escape the terrorists the weird old man ripped off plutonium from.  Either way, we know better now (and wrong film ).


Klumpen, either the device I am on now can't show your pic properly, or it is too wide for the boards.  I will have to check it out later.

Nike is releasing the self-lacing shoes in 2016 but only available at an auction for M.J. Fox's foundation. At least they seem to work: https://www.facebook.com/michaeljfoxfoundation/videos/10153692210818540/?fref=nf
And USA Today will of course release the Newspaper from the movie, so grab one if you can. 

 

 

[rygD]

Oh, yeah, still need Mr. Fusion.

Fusion_Power, someone already mentioned the USA Today thing.  I appreciate both of you mentioning it, as I have someone setting one aside for me now.

well sure, for Marty and Doc, but how about for the rest of the world if they decide to "fix" us?

spoiler alert:

Spoiler

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_to_the_Future
before Marty's travels:
His father George is bullied by his supervisor, Biff Tannen, while his mother Lorraine is an overweight alcoholic.

after Marty's travels:
Marty awakens the next morning to find his family changed: George is a self-confident, successful author, and Lorraine is physically fit. Biff is now George and Marty's obsequious subordinate.

besides portraying a fairly childish ideal of power and success (throwing your weight around, like both Biff and George do in different timelines), i'm not sure this conveys the right message to a child who wishes their parents were different.

Well, you still can buy these old "Krups 223" coffee grinders over Ebay. The "Mr. Fusion" decals are also available from somewhere. ^^

I always have Thomas F. Wilsons "Question" Song in mind. The "Biff" from BTTF is actualy a quite funny guy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmjYimspW-4

 

[rygD]

Unless the result of putting all that stuff together is enough to power a flying DeLorean time machine I will hold off.

I am familiar with his song. I like Crispin Glover, including his music and other projects, but you know how that goes.

Edit:  I forgot Burgertime was in the shop window.  Great game.  I also wish the Post Office was as efficient as the weather service (depending on details of the weather service and how it operates in the film).  The AT&T phone booth Marty Jr. stopped at was funny.  We haven't abolished all lawyers yet, although that might actually be a good thing.
