I have been ignoring all the messages about Back To The Future on this
newsgroup because I knew I would see it someday. I just did, and came back
to read all the postings.
I can't believe how many people would carp about a movie just because the
time travel theory in it doesn't jibe with THEIR idea of how time travel
works. It's only a movie, remember? We're talking about a guy who travels
through time in a plutonium-powered DeLorean, right? Anybody who could do
that could probably keep relative motion in mind, OK?
This movie was funny, entertaining, and good precisely BECAUSE of the
little details that were done right. That's what makes a good production!
Especially good was Christoper Lloyd's character: sort of a combination of
Emilio Lizardo (from Buckaroo Banzai) and the Gyrocopter Pilot (from
The Road Warrior). I recommend it highly to all except people who take
things too seriously, and to those I recommend building their own time
machine and going far away. THEN tell us it was wrong.
