I feel like talking about Back to the Future today.

This is one of the great trilogies of our time. The 2nd one wasn't really that bad. I mean, it had Flea as a business man and everything. Plus, Elizabeth Shue was a great substitute for the role of Jennifer.

Discuss.

    What's Michael J. Fox like? He's nice.

    Ha!!!! My son just brought that movie title up yesterday....asking how can you go "back" to the future. That's a fine oxymoron, huh?

    Love that movie!!! Starts off with a bang when Michael Fox gets blown away with those Speakers.


    Goldie for Mayor!! I like that!

    It had a hard act to follow...the future stuff was cool, but came off really cheesy.

    We differ, my friend. As much as I love "the babysitter"...the actor switch was not cool.

    Just checked imdb.com

    She wasn't replaced. She chose not to continue the role to take care of her mother who was battling cancer and that's why Elizabeth Shue replaced her.

    So who had a worse career?

    Thomas F. Wilson or Crispin Glover? :)

    Are you kidding...that guy does what he wants....he has an impressive list of film credits.

    Plus:

    "Crispin Glover had not granted permission to use his likeness (in BTTF 2), and sued Steven Spielberg. The suit was settled, and the Screen Actors Guild introduced new rules about illicit use of actors."

    I was joking.

    Thomas F. Wilson was in a few episodes of Ed.

    I don't remember Crispin's likeness being used in BTTF2.

    I just figured out what BTTF2 was missing. A future Strickland. The alternate 1985 Strickland was okay though. "EAT LEAD, SLACKERS!!!!"

    You should. Plus Shue was still in her good-looks prime in '91. Back off.

    He would have been dead man.

    I did like James Tolkan's work as Sal Nickles in Opportunity Knocks and as Lou Brackman in Armed and Dangerous.

    There could have been another Strickland. :) Use your imagination, man.

    Yeah, she still had her girlish charm and innocence during the BTTF movies. After Leaving Las Vegas, it was alllll gone. :D

    Huey Lewis was gold in that movie...plus, any film that gives that much blatant promotion to the album Sports is tops in my book.

    I believe he said "I'm afraid you're just too darn loud."

    I listened to the commentary done by the producers and they were talking about the scene in the field when Marty first goes back in time. It was shot in Ontario California and they said it was as far as you could get from Los Angeles at the time. I'm sure back in 1984 it was but now that area is all housing and industrial warehouses, well, and the airport.

    I just thought that was funny.

    Thanks for the correction. I really need to get these on DVD.

    That's funny about Ontario. We drove to Vegas from Manhattan Beach a few years back and it's all city until you get to Rancho Cucamonga now.

    It would have been a vastly different movie with Eric Stolz in that role...I can't even imagine it.
