i just finished rewatching the greatest trilogy known too man, back to the future, how many of you haven't heard of this? id love to redicule anyone who hasnt seen this classic wonder. oh man, you gotta be foolish to not love this trilogy. oh and even if you didnt like one or two or three, you still liked one of them so therefore your not foolish. lots of people ive talked to hated the third one or the second one, strange no one complained about the first one oh well.

actually i picked the second one as the lame one. First and third were the best.

fantastic series. One of the coolest things too, is that you don't have to worry about who you watch it in front of, there's very little to be offended over, unless i've forgotten something.

When this baby hits 88 miles an hour, you're gonna see some serious shit.

Or something like that.

that's mild. Hell i would say by the time a child can comprehend the premise behind the series, how the past changes the future, the whole idea of an alternate reality that vanishes when something's changed in the past, i think the word 'shit' would be something they heard on a regular basis on the playground anyway.

funny i saw one the other day too, at a comedy club. I was kinda shocked. I mean, they really aren't that much of an amazing car, but if you have one, no way in hell you should be driving it. You can't even get parts for those anymore.

actually there's more to it then that

Delorian used to be a designer for GM. He did a lot of work with Pontiac if i recall. In fact, the last firebird ever made was modeled after one of his concept cars that he called the Banchee.

When he went off to start his own company, there were rumors he'd gotten the start up money by dealing in drugs. There were investigations, lawsuits, trials, all that sort of thing. His company went bankrupt as a result, and he was never convicted of any crime. The urban legand is that some people at GM were pissed that he started up a competetive company and set him up.

I think the reason most people dont like 2 as much is simply becuase its the FUTURE.

in movies 1 and 3 the setting is the past. so the setting is definate and unquestionably easy to accept.

however you cant do that with a movie based in the future. so people naturally have a hard time accepting the way things are in that film.

one of the first things to comes to mind is the dissapointment in knowing that their are no real hoverboards.

but you have to look at it this way...
they HAD to do a future set movie
and if they had made it a near future which is less questionable, it would have put everyone to sleep.
