Thanks for the video. As to the "plot hole" you mentioned: while you're right that it doesn't matter, as the film is in part a fairy tale and that isn't at all the point of the film (just like it doesn't matter that we don't see the police/clean-up crews show up at the end of III to inspect the destroyed DeLorean, as that would only clutter the ending with something that doesn't matter), there is no plot hole there. It's been thirty years since they've seen a kid they knew for a week, and human memories are extremely volatile, even with life-changing events. I guarantee you that, within five years, Lorraine remembers Calvin as being taller and buffer than he really was, as she thought of him as strong and an absolute dream. Her mental image of him would slowly alter to suit those brief emotions she had. After thirty years, George and Lorraine would have completely different mental images of what he looked like--one would remember him as a blonde, the other as brunette, one with blue eyes, the other with brown, one as tall, the other as short...ah yes, I remember it well... So, not plot hole, just human brains functioning as human brains do. I've been watching this film for thirty years and also keep getting new things out of it as the decades go by. It's excellent, and truly special. I don't think I could ever tire of it. They are some of my most-watched movies.
Gallo and I both have Lego DeLoreans. Just sayin. She saw the Broadway play and I have not, so she's definitely got me on that one. This is one of those stories that they nailed the first time and never should have tempted lightning to strike twice in the same place (pun intended). Love the Halloween photos, I vividly remember the second one! :)
I’m kinda iffy on the idea of adapting Back to the Future into to a broadway show. I mean the source material is so perfect that attempting to capture that again but as a musical just rubs me the wrong way. As a massive fan of the film I’m curious to see if they can even attempt to recapture the magic of the movie but I remain skeptical.
Great movie, has been since day one. Watched it multiple times and the first 5 ya really learn diffrent things...
