so when marty returns to 1985 at the end and sees the new 85 version of himself going back to 1955, what happens to that marty? remember he was raised by successful non-nerdy parents, has his own truck, etc etc

btw yes i am home sick thinking baout this :-/

homesick for 1985?

what happens to that marty? remember he was raised by successful non-nerdy parents, has his own truck, etc etc

The whole movie is flawed since you can't change the past. It's already been changed if it has. You can't be self-aware of a present that never happened.

But, going along with BTTF's rules, the Marty (1) that Marty (2) sees goes back to the past, eventually experiences everything again and arrives at Lone Pine Mall to complete the circle.

way to cut the gordian knot of time travel paradoxes there.

You can't be self-aware of a present that never happened.

Pleasant Plains IS Mr. Miyagi. Sorta.

This has bugged me my whole life.

You could probably do a whole alternate version of BTTF1 where Doc Brown reveals to George McFly in 1975 who the real Calvin Klein is, and how they have to set Marty up to still go back in time when he's older to make sure that the past is corrected.

I'm not sure what you're getting at but plz spell it out.

oh hahah, i thought you were suggesting that the real Calvin Klein was actually created by the time travel paradoxes

if Marty goes back in time and makes his parents cool, would the "new" Marty necessarily hang out with Doc Brown and go back in time to create "cool" parents?

He would if his "cool" parents and Doc Brown steered him that direction. Gave him a big fancy amplifier to play with when he goes over there.

oh right, Doc is conscious of the necessity of getting Marty in the Time Machine. That's why he fakes his own death.

Mary's motivation to get his parents together is survival. Their "coolness" is just a by-product of "pop culture" elements from the future slipping into the past (darth vader visit, guitar solos, etc)

Oh man, I don't even remember Mary.

er, Marty

Obama should just run on a promise to make the 2015 of BTTF2 happen for real.

FAKE TITS FOR YO MAMA SAY OBAMA

Or the old guy, whatevs.

yeah, and marty's girlfriend changes from the first flick to the
last 2. Claudia Wells -> Elisabeth Shue

whoa why did this never register with me?!!?

cuz she's ditched for sex-with-Mom hijinx in both pix?

there was only one sex with mom hijinx wasnt there?

btff2 sex with mom hijinx wasnt shown on-screen i dont think, or was it?

more importantly as far as this board is concerned, if it wasnt for marty, & marion barry's instincts, WOULD WE HAVE ROCK N ROLL TODAY???

maybe just tit job panic?

Haha, I'd never noticed Marty's girlfriend is a different actor in the last two films either! Maybe because she doesn't have much of a role in the first film?

Robert Zemeckis should be put on trial at the Hague.

In July 2007, Variety announced that Zemeckis had written a film adaptation of Charles Dickens' 1843 story A Christmas Carol, with plans to use performance capture and release it under the aegis of ImageMovers Digital. Zemeckis wrote the screenplay with Jim Carrey in mind, and Carrey has agreed to play a multitude of roles in the film, including Ebenezer Scrooge as a young, middle-aged, and old man, and the three ghosts who haunt Scrooge.[15] The film began production in February 2008, and will be released on November 6, 2009.[16]

why raised by cool mom marty turned out the same as raised by nerd mom marty: HE STILL MADE OUT WITH HIS MOM

nature/nuture riddle solved!

still waiting for one of those hover boards.

Chuck Berry Remembers Call From Cousin About White Kid Playing Johnny B Goode

I remember I didn't understand that scene at all when I was a kid. I had no idea who this "Chuck Berry" was.

plus ça change...

And speaking of The Onion, I am more than aware that I sound like this guy when I'm going off about this movie.

Maybe Claudia Wells turning into Elisabeth Shue was a delayed reaction change caused by the time-travel hijinks in the 50s.

Now you're just fucking with all our heads.

Just like "cool" Dad Crispin devolves in the future into hack actor in rubber face.

Oh my gosh I wanted to rewatch the second one for months and I finally did on Saturday and why don't they make every movie in this world so mind-blowing and awesome and exciting and suspenseful and and and and and and and and and and and and banana

See it is SO GOOD my personal sun got knocked out of orbit there.

Hey I know you're from one of those flyovers states with shitty education but the earth orbits the sun!

Marty Jr.'s clothes wld actually fit in as bitching mod-ren hiphop fashion except for his completely dippy baseball cap (I used to have a belt of that same rainbowy-reflecty plastic).

those were the days

Watching it made me realize I am turning into my dad. Example:

MY DAD WHILE WATCHING AN EPISODE OF STAR TREK: TNG:
"Oh man, Lore is so evil...it's so scary...he's just like an evil Data. (pause) Lore is so. Evil."

ME AND BTTF2:
"Oh man, Biff is so evil...can you imagine if the world was really like that? It would be hell...I can't believe Biff took over the world...it's so scary....Biff is so evil..."

The third one is quite underrated, I like how it quite deliberately has a different tone to the other two.

otm

A good theme of all three is Marty's inability to dress in an era's clothes.

great movies, the third one is okay too but the scene with the doc's love interest really does go on far too long.

i watch them exactly in chronological order of action portrayed: viz
BttF3
bits of Godfather 2
Godfather 1
more bits of Godfather 2
BttF1 and Godfather 3 properly intercut
BttF2

and you have to say that's magnificent

Apparently someone is working on/has finished a chronological edit of Back to the Future:

Let's hope they simply remove the Wild West parts...

I just found this on google video. A fan cut of the Enchantment Under the Sea sequence with the shots from films I and II:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4589540173717485087

I suppose this would make the chronological edit that much more difficult to pull off! Maybe if you used the "multiple angles" function....
