Sometimes Jeremy has a clever thing to say before the jump break. Sometimes he's got no such thing. Sometimes he's impatient and just wants to get to the movie. This is one of those times.
Obligatory what do I know about the film?
• It's a time travel movie, I think, because it's called Back to the Future
• Someone from the future will come to the present
• They (the mysterious THEY ooooo) will have to get this individual back to the future.
• I'm not allowed to see or hear the DVD menu. Aaaagain.
• Lots of people want me to watch it so WITHOUT FURTHER ADO
Universal! Last time this was a good thing. Here we go.
...also Universal. Yes. I know this. Move along.

THE KIDS?
THEY GET MARRIED?
:D
WE DON'T NEED ROADS badass AWESOME OH HELL YES THAT'S HOW YOU END A THING
Wish I'd had the time (hey hey!) to watch this yesterday. Greatly enjoyed. Second thoughts tomorrow, as usual. Was this actually Spielberg, by the way? It didn't feel like his movie and there was another name in front too. Someone tell me and then I'll label it accordingly.
It's not a Spielberg film. He was just exec producer. Zemeckis directed and co-wrote.
ReplyDeleteProperly labeled, then. Thanks :D
Delete"Marion Berry" should sound a bit familiar because he was calling his brother Chuck... Chuck Berry, who sang Johnny B Goode. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFo8-JqzSCM&feature=kp
ReplyDeleteSo, the in-joke is that Marty plays the song at the dance, and Marion gives the song to Chuck who then records a hit.
Clever! Never heard of Chuck Berry before.
DeleteWait, how small is that rock you've been living under? (By the way, great blog.)
Delete"ARE YOU A DOC? and there's Zuul"
ReplyDeleteThat is one of my favorite lines of yours so far. Your blog is one of my favorite things ever. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences.
Glad to be doing it! It's lots of fun! I just hope people didn't lose interest when I missed Monday. It was kind of unavoidable. :(
DeleteYou're the second grown adult I've had the privilege of seeing react to this movie for the first time. It's awesome.
ReplyDelete"Jigawatt" is "gigawatt", the pronunciation didn't standardize until the 90s with computers and all.
As mentioned by a kind anon, Marvin is the (fictional) cousin of 50s rocker Chuck Berry, who wrote and performed Johnny B. Goode originally. Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey.
The skateboard thing is a sort of old-timey scooter thing. My grandma had a photo of her and her cousin playing with one in the 30s.
Hmm, do you get the wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey reference?
DeleteThe movie is part of a series not a standalone movie
ReplyDeleteI don't know when or if I'll see the sequels (though if they're anywhere near as good then I certainly would like to) so for the moment it's "standing alone."
DeleteYou don't fail to deliver on entertainment front. Also there's 2 more movies.
ReplyDeleteThe music is by Alan Silvestri.He is not nearly as awesome as John Williams, but has composed some phenomenal scores in his own right. This is one of them, and his score for 'The Avengers' is one of my faves.
ReplyDeleteI'm also very fond of his score to my favorite Steve Martin movie, Father of the Bride, which I think is highly underrated, musically speaking.
DeleteI can only think of one piece of music from the film that stands out. It's quite a good piece, of course, but I guess I'm kind of spoiled now :D
DeleteYou're right about Doc Brown's house. It's the Gamble house in Pasadena, and it is unutterably gorgeous. And open for tours, if you find yourself in the neighborhood.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.gamblehouse.org/
"Trees, you're the hero of none of the stories."
ReplyDeleteUh, not strictly true...I'd call the Ents pretty damn heroic...but you'll get to that eventually.
If you love music (and I can so tell you do…) you must go listen to some Chuck Berry. Heck, just go listen to a Motown Pandora station :)
ReplyDelete
