Great Scott! It's Back to the Future Day!

Some fun new clips:

Watched these earlier this year with my older son - he knew nothing about the movie (or that there were three of them) and it was great to see him get caught up in how enjoyable they are.

All available on Amazon Prime - if you have the app, you can download them for offline viewing.

in celebration, I'd like a Pepsi Free. Or a Tab.

Can't give you a tab unless you order something! And what's with the life preserver?

And hey, one thing they got right:

It's back in some theaters tonight too.

EW Morning Live on SiriusXM had a long interview with Lea Thompson this morning, which was really fun. It has been ages since I last watched the movie but this makes me want to revisit it!

ok. I'll have a cup of black coffee

For the last week or two, I've noticed that when I FF, Rewind, or Pause my TiVo, the counter from the DeLorean would pop up on the screen above the progress bar. No logo, no explanation; just the counter. I thought that was a nice little subtle tribute.

The BowTie Cinema in South Orange will be screening all three movies tonight starting at 5:30pm for one admission fee. Doubt my tuchus could sit that long but it surely would be fun!

I've been seeing Facebook memes on and off for over a year showing whatever day it was on that flux capacitor (?) and saying that "today is the day". It's been a long time since I saw the movie, so I really have no memory of what the dates were, but why so many different BTTF days?

There have been many fake memes over the past few years. . . but today is the actual day.

I have not seen a more hyped day on the internet since May 4th.

That's silly. What was the point of the fake memes?

USA Today changed their logo for the day.

I missed the showing of the original at my local theater (a rehabbed Shriner's hall now called the "Moolah Theater"). Don't know if I can make it to the showing of BTTF #II. But I do remember from seeing #I when it was first released that the location used for the scientist's house (at least the exterior shots) is a famous house (at least among architectural historical geeks) that you can tour. It is the Gamble House in Pasadena, Cal., the most famous (if not quite the largest -- that would be the Blacker House) house by Greene & Greene, architects of some of the most beautiful architecture the world has ever seen. Check it out if you are ever in SoCal (or even otherwise -- Google is your friend).

Marty and Doc finally arrived:
