Mon Jul 07 00:16:31 +0000 2014Man, I finally went to San Francisco this year & it looked like it changed A LOT since 1989
Mon Jul 07 00:21:48 +0000 2014I'm especially impressed with the new landscape & the fact that they took down the big yellow wall surrounding it. It looked stupid anyway.
Mon Jul 07 00:22:34 +0000 2014But honestly, my first thought in San Francisco was "Hey, hey, hey! It's time to make some craaazy money!"

Tue Jul 15 23:32:00 +0000 2014I loved reading coll interviews, read up on games I missed & stuff like that. Almost no ads & all content was a break from American mags.

There's an American remake. I think the French used the money to finance the sequel, but I'm not sure

All of that is gone in the American remake. They also don't curse & all of the racial jokes are gone. :(

Thu Jul 31 20:07:21 +0000 2014"Look! There's a rhythmic ceremonial ritual coming up." is one of my favorite lines from Back to the Future.

There's that word again. "Heavy." Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?
Thu Jul 31 20:31:29 +0000 2014Back to the Future wouldn't get made today. No studio would back a film about narrowly avoiding fucking your own mother.
Thu Jul 31 20:32:33 +0000 2014But at least we dodged a remake with Justin Bieber.

I don't own it on blu-ray. Too bad because it looks great & has some footage or stills with Stoltz as Marty.
Thu Jul 31 20:37:36 +0000 2014Replying to @AveTory
but what a film! A perfect piece of cinema & a timeless theme of generations. In a sci-fi movie. Hollywood in the 80s was blooming.
Thu Jul 31 20:51:29 +0000 2014Replying to @AveTory
It's an American story, but I think the theme is universal.
Thu Jul 31 20:55:08 +0000 2014Replying to @AveTory
I think the way it was made, it flows so well, that makes watching it very pleasant. It's easy to digest & accept the setting
Thu Jul 31 21:01:02 +0000 2014Replying to @AveTory
But at it's core it's still a unique story about one's parents also being kids at some point. Sci-fi premise was needed to tell it
