Here occasionally, but mostly somewhere else |
For anyone that's interested, there is a website currently auctioning off props from bttf, (amongst many other films and TV shows).
Included are a hoverboard, sports almanac, and some weird futuristic trainers.
Be quick, and be rich, judging by the prices on some of the non-auctuon items! |

"if the chicago cubs finally win the world series this year it will be spooky.....

I used to wish I could find a sports almanac when I was younger.
Mind you, I was a fucking idiot. |

Because these films were the huge films when all the mid thirties onwards were early teens etc. I remember going to see every film at the cinema and loving them. I've passed them down to my kids who also love them. They're still a big deal |

Fun fact, the lot where they shot the town hall scene etc is still there and is constantly in use to this day, it provides the backdrop for many US shows about 'small towns' |

Snap!
Love these films and everything about them. Saw the first one in Scarbrough when I was about 8 I think, 2 quid got me in to see it and got me an orange juice and a cornetto at cinema prices! That fact more than any other makes me realise how much time has actually passed since as it still seems hard to believe that today's the day in the future that they arrive.... Or at daft o clock tomorrow morning UK time to be pedantic as a previous poster mentioned.
Other little known fact too; Elijah Wood from the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Green Street is in BTTF2 as well. |

"Bloke round rd from me owns the car that they used it doesent come out very often but stops traffic when it does "
I'd love to own that car! I'd even rig the horn so that when sounded it made that repeated crashing sonic boom noise the DeLorean makes when it travels through time. |

Great Scott!
Why isn't there any special events where I am (Manchester and maybe next week London but by then I'm guessing the magic has gone)?!
I guess I'll be live tweeting about the showings on ITV 2. |

Double update - both events are sold out. Twitter, ITV, Pizza and Pepsi at mine it is. |

2 days too late - that's what happens when you rely on a dodgy flux capacitor - But other useless snippets of info;
Huey from Huey Lewis and the News has a speaking part in the first film as the bloke who tells Marty his band are just "Too darn loud" with a megaphone at the audition and the western band playing where Doc dances with Clara in the 3rd film are actually ZZTop. |

I missed it, is it on that tribute show as I had to record it on Virgin?
Elijah Wood plays that little boy who disgustedly says "You mean you have to use your hands?" about the arcade machine in Cafe 80's in the second film btw |

As trained as an actor for over 10 years I feel Lloyd was wobbling with his lines... Michael Gambon has similar problems but he retired from live/theatre acting.
I worry about this for our generation. Will we really forgot simple things and start to piss ourselves? Not to say Lloyd pisses himself but... |

We paid for a photo with him dressed as doc brown, by the dorlorean for my exes birthday present, my ex had longer with him then most as the camera went wrong, my ex tried making conversation with him but nothing! Then we went to get an autograph, in the queue for ages then he went off, couldn't find the table and then didn't say a word while we were getting our stuff signed! Lea Thompson on the other hand was gorgeous and lovely.
I would like to add, we did some research on Chris later and found out he is a very shy man, so we accepted his behaviour and was happy with the autograph and picture that we got, all be it not a very happy experience x |

Some artists are reversed by nature. Not fans of interaction with fans.
That guy who plays Scarecrow in the recent Batman films is like that.
