...So George McFly just allows his wife's attempted rapist to wash his car every week?
- Thread starter El Bombastico
- Start date
its not even a couple of weeks, its literally 1 week, they spell it out in the movie.
and yea i can't remember some friends faces i spent years with in middle school or high school. Let alone 1 dude i met for a week.

Lets be fair, every single 80s teen comedy/drama is kinda disgusting now...
Man I love Mulaney and I know he's exaggerating for the bit, but I'm kind of annoyed by this routine for how often it's brought up in casual conversation by people who've clearly never seen the original movie and take it as fact that the plot of Back to the Future is about a dude who goes back in time so he can fuck his mom.
yea, thats kind of the exact opposite of what happens in the movie
he accidentally goes back in time, and his mom inadvertently wants to fuck him
Marc Maron's character in GLOW does a much better job of describing the movie, but i cant find a clip of it
Kid was giving the cute to zoom in and pan? i think thats on the camera man who forgotBTTF characters have...issues.
He never throws it away, he rips it up but then the cable gets unplugged so he gets distracted and puts the tornup letter in his pocket.
Damn. Wasn't expecting that so soon.BTTF characters have...issues.
They knew him for a week. Do you clearly remember the faces of everyone you went to school with? How about everyone you went to summer camp with?
I really don't get why people make such a big deal of that scene.
He told his mother that people call him Marty when she initially guessed that people called him Cal for short. He just went with letting them think Calvin Klein was his name after he asked her why she kept calling him that.
I find it funny that when he says goodbye to his teenage parents, his mom goes "Hey... Marty is a nice name."
But then she waits til the third kid to name her kid after him.
How about how everyone walked by and ignored her getting molested. And only came by after he got knocked out to see if he was ok, nobody else checked to see if she was ok. Not to mention how Marty tried to take credit for shit he didn't do(the whole rock n roll scene).

Did they wonder where he went? Did anyone make a missing persons poster with his face on it? He literally left their reality lol
I do remember that scene and yeah, it does a better job accurately representing the movie.
A lot of the stuff Mulaney complains about is explained in the movie, but it's all in good fun if you're familiar with it. Less so when your obnoxious film buff friends won't give it a chance because to them it's the movie where Michael J. Fox tries to get with his mom.
I get what you're saying, but then they'd need to make the massive leap of their son traveled back in time. Zero chance they make that leap, would never even occur to them, as it shouldn't occur to them
Also, Back to the Future is a great name because it subverts expectations. Marty has to go back to his own time, which is what everybody else sees as the future.
In all seriousness, I've seen a few people criticize BTTF for other things.

yeah that's how i perceived it. he went from jock to having to wash the car of the nerdy kid he once bullied.
Why dont they also remember they named their kid after a guy who looked exactly like the kid when he grew up. That always got me
Don't they think his name was Calvin Klein?
Also is easy to forget the face of a guy you met for one week in your teenager years
Thats kind of where I go with it. Biff and George's relationship did a 180 so now it's George demeaning Biff. On one hand, he totally deserves it, on the other it's still kind of screwed up.
Yeah, even as a kid I thought it was remarkable how similar Doc Brown looked between 1985 and 1955.
My biggest mental issue with the film is understanding how even though everyone else around him changed, the new Marty Mcfly generated from the changes in the timeline still ended up living basically the same life that had him in the same exact mall parking lot with Doc Brown in 1985.
Also what happened to that marty's Memories? Do they overwrite the old marty's Memories when he returns from the the past? Or did past Marty basically end up killing future Marty by erasing all his good child hood memories and only remembering the old timeline bad ones? Or did all the memories merg together??? And when did this memory loss/gain/merg take place, the moment the photos restored itself or when he went back to the future? And why were his brother and sister in the exact same pose and cloths if they had a now different upbringing? Ugh my head hurts now.

What's dumb is that article points out it's talking nonsense but kept going.
The black guy is a mayor before Marty goes back, and Chuck came up with the song originally too. Marty doesn't change anything at all there versus stuff like his family and the mall.
You mean she looked in his underwear while he was unconscious.
One of Crispin Glover's problems with the film and part of the reason Zemeckis used a fake Glover in the sequel is his problem with the ending.
How focused the ending was on consumerism and being materially rewarded in cosmic ways. It is a movie of its era. It's cartoonish and represents the kind of thing which would happen in a serial. The bully ends up washing your new swanky American muscle car as you kiss your girlfriend.

Biff turned into his slave and was completely subservient to him. I think it was a case of Biff letting George treat him exactly like George wanted to.
I mean the chance that all three kids would be born, the exact three kids, all the exact same age is pretty much impossible anyway. I mean you have sex on a different time a different day, means a different sperm reaching mama. These two lived completely different lives. It's best not to think about it :P
People use that as a reason for why Marty gets so enraged when someone calls him a chicken, when he didn't care about it before: the "new" marty didn't like it, the old marty didn't care.
