I was just going to post a thread about a Back to the Future reboot for the 40th anniversary next year, so fuck it, I'll just post my ideas here:
Hollywood, get in touch, you know this shit prints money.
"Hey Fred! It's me your cousin! Yeah, Bill Durst! You gotta listen to this!"
huh today i learnt something
First as tragedy, then as farce.
history repeats huh
Imo it's gotta be 100 gecs.
I've always thought the "your kids are gonna love it" line was weird. They're in 1955, even if their kids were born right that second, they would've been the same age as them in the early 70s. By that same logic, it has to be something more recent in 1995.
unless i'm missing something, the math on "your kids are gonna love it" checks out.
let's say the chronological age of appreciation for Eddie Van Hallen style is something like 15 - 25, so long as the listener is hearing it for the first time between the years 1974-1985, which is when Eddie Van Halen was in Van Halen and would exist in a world where crazy hair/glam metal shredding was beloved/cool in the music world.
If Cousin Marvin Berry (of Marvin Berry and the Starlighters) had a kid that was born between 1949 - 1970, it works. The actor playing Cousin Marvin was 31 at the time of the movie (1955), so if he had kids at any age between 25 and 46, it works.
but yeah, in a modern reimagining, the "wack music" would have to be something from today that people in the 1990s would have found too far out / unpartyable even when they were young, so like a skibidi toilet and kanye+grimes mashup
I think you misunderstood me. The reason that line is weird to me is that surely these kids who are around 17-18 in 1955 are of the generation that’d be into Johnny B. Goode when it comes out a few years later. Their kids would be into I dunno, Yes or whatever else was big in the early 70s.
isn't the line "your kids are gonna love it" in reference to the band and the audience, having stopped dancing/playing and just staring at him like he's insane after part-way into Johnny B. Goode he goes bonkers and shreds for several minutes, flopping on his back, kicking amps and trying to be Eddie Van Halen? the full line is, "Guess you guys aren't ready for that yet... but your kids are gonna love it." he starts going off the rails in the clip at 4m 36s
he's not talking about Johnny B. Goode. they all loved that. he's talking about his wackass odyssey solo he trails off into.
Oh wow, I feel so stupid right now. I've seen that movie so many times and never even thought that line was actually referencing the solo routine Marty did and not Johnny B. Goode, but that's obviously what ”your kids are gonna love”
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
he's 3 years early for Johnny B. Goode (1958) so it's supposed to be pointing at a near-future but massive cultural change
Shit, if the movie was set in 1990 he could be playing Smells Like Teen Spirit
Five years too late.
Yeah, I don't think Limp Bizkit had the same kind of impact. Maybe Eminem?
The Limp Bizkit thing was just a joke about music that wasn't popular then, but would be in a few years. Nirvana was a genuine seismic shift in culture, even if not Johnny B. Goode level. Hair metal and ”rockstar” behavior was instantly passé.
::: spoiler spoiler
Based because hair metal is the worst
this movie would make like a billion dollars and everyone will talk about it for months
I can see like, maybe they in-universe lore explanation is something about the easily rusting outer material is better for time travel. But also, it might be offputting for the audience when they wonder "why is the time machine based on a leftover playstation-era 3D model asset?"
real estate prices, college tuition, living wages, malls still open, fewer tent cities, nobody knows what climate change is yet
also, guess doc brown can't have the libyans after him anymore, whoops
We didn't start the fire
They're gonna make it Iranians, just wait.
stop it
why does nobody ever lathe anything good
The Lathe can only produce bad things
It would take a brave soul to throwselves into it to grind it to a halt
I predict the halting of the lathe
I'd rather live believing that Musk would be [REDACTED] by some 17 year old neo-nazi mad about being banned on twitter or else someone trying to impress the 2020's equivalent of young Jodie Foster before that date
....Though I guess that still wouldn't preclude it from the AI script writer picking it as the quirky replacement car
Why not both? The cyber truck leaves production because
gets got, and the rest continues as scheduled
Fuck I can totally see that happening
more likely there is a Breaking Bad reboot where instead of a Pontiac Aztek, the main character drives the cybertruck to reflect how pathetic and trying to be cool the guy is, which feeds into chasing drug kingpin status
No, the cybertruck must be reserved for this Better Call Saul character:
good call
Is that Colin Robinson from What We Do in the Shadows (TV)?
yes
the new breaking bad reboot is gonna have waltuh shoot his cancer (contracted from someone who may or may not speak spanish but has been known to wear hats) with a trusty revolver in the first episode, and then he'll become a cop in a narcotics unit.
Inshallah Zemeckis never dies, the lathe needs not touch this one.
As if bttf 3 is some cultural gem
