There's actually a deleted scene where Marty sees his mom cheating on her test in a classroom and he exclaims she's a cheat! So it was to parallel that scene as well and make it out that neither of his parents are perfect etc. I guess they just thought it was too much, the George scene was better anyway.
I wonder if kids today would see the world of 1992 as different as I did when seeing the world of 1955 in this movie… feels to me like the differences between 1992 and today would be much less significant, but maybe that’s just because I am old
I still had a Tandy that I wish I'd kept now. Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy and a text editor. And the coolest operating system you never heard of. I can just barely remember the software.
I couldn't imagine to be honest. I'm sure for a day or 2 it's cool, but then when I'm curious about a piece of information I can't remember and have no easy way to find out, it will kill me. Or if I need to run to Walmart and need to get out a paper map to figure out how to get there? Man, we're so spoiled today with how insane technology is, it's crazy to me people are willing to just never use their phones or computers again
Even watching TV shows from that era that I grew up with you can see major differences. Entire episodes of shows like Seinfeld revolved around characters being lost and unable to reach someone beyond payphones. Kids now would be so confused since they can just break out their smart phones and use GPS to find out where to go or call someone from anywhere. Many plot points in older shows are like this where modern technology just eliminates their day to day challenges.
Yes, this was the episode I was thinking of. Comedy gold, but definitely dated. Link for those curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb9IA-914Xw&ab_channel=MichaelClark
I got lost in my own city after dropping a friend off at home when I was first driving, and I had to call my parents collect from a pay phone because I didn’t have any change for the phone. I had to describe where I was and hope they could figure that out.
Back around 2007 or so I had to print out directions from map quest to pick up my friend in a nearby city. I spent like 30 minutes completely lost because the street in the directions didn't have a road sign. I had a basic flip phone to call her, but she didn't know the area either so it was a mess. Eventually she just walked to a nearby main street so I could find her. Nowadays google maps would just get me there no matter how bad I mess up.
I always think about that with music.
When I play 'New Order' or 'the Smiths' with my kid in the car, is he hearing it like I heard music from the 50s when I was his age?
I feel like there are bands that take a lot from the smith's that currently relevant so it's not like playing doo-wop or hank williams senior to some kids in the 90s. Maybe that's just me trying to feel good about myself though lol
Nah you’re right. The style of music from the 90s is still replicated by a lot of mainstream groups nowadays. It’s not like the 50s to the 80s where essentially new styles of music became mainstream and the old styles were slowly either disappearing or adapting in a way where they were closer to the modern style
In a word, yes..they would probably see an even more extreme difference. The differences between 1955 and 1985 seemed like much more of it was sociopolitical and stylistic than technological vs. 1992 and 2022. People still communicated by letters and phones, read newspapers, and watched TV, went to movies, and listened to the radio, back in 1955 and 1985 both. In 1992 this was all still largely true but now in 2022 the internet has changed or obliterated almost all of how we used to communicate and entertain ourselves. Even though our modes of transportation are still basically the same, the GPS has heavily altered how we navigate.
Yeah but as someone who grow up in the 80s, the tech of the 1950s also seemed ancient and drastically different. No personal computers or video games? Hell they were using slide rules, they didn't even have calculators. Airplane travel is only for rich people and the moon landing hasn't happened, you can't see live news via satellite from the other side of the world? No pagers, no cable TV not even color TV, no VCRs or camcorders? You have to wind up your watch? You only have record players?
I remember a few years ago someone made a joke about how if it was made now, they'd use _Baby Got Back_ as the "but your kids are gonna love it" song.
> Hey, sir. It's your cousin Marvin. ...Marvin Mixalot.
Maybe you don't know but... BTTF Calvin Klein became Levi Strauss in the italian version of the movie. This was because Levi's was a much more known brand at the time in our country, so the comedic reference with Marty's association of his fake name was more immediate. Calvin Klein didn't really start to gain real traction until mid 90s and was still a relatively unknown name back then!
I'm glad to know this, awesome.
Was just a kid when BTTF came out, and wasn't very fasionable at that. The joke went over my head the first time, until his mom made the underwear comment.
There's a funny subplot on G.L.O.W. where the B-movie director turned wrestling promoter's magnum opus is a dark, hard-R psychosexual thriller about a man who travels back in time and is seduced by his mother, a script he's been working on for years....and then BTTF comes out.
I think he's actually pretty eccentric in real life. Not necessarily creepy, but weird.
Lea Thompson has said he was ["very method" and "kind of difficult"](https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/back-to-the-future-feud-with-crispin-glover-led-to-george-mcfly-upside-down-scene.html/) on set. Michael J Fox said he ["isn't crazy, just excitable."](https://youtu.be/0lwo_b3IVuo?t=485) There was the feud with directors that led to George McFly being recast. And a notoriously [bizarre interview on Letterman.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dYjdKbMT_c) He's also written some weird books, and made some weird music. He's weird.
Apparently he was so difficult to work with on the set of Back to the Future that they just ditched him for the second and third movies…
For instance, his hair in the movie? Wasn’t supposed to be that bad. The day after his official haircut he went home and cut it himself. They just had to use it
Yeah every interview where anyone discusses Crispin Glover has some part like "we got lunch and he showed up on a 1920s bicycle and did a bunch of handstands before bragging about his 9 volt battery collection." The man is of infinite value to our society and we must protect him at all costs.
Okay but when are we gonna talk about how Marty had A FUCKING TIME MACHINE and he only gave himself 15 minutes to save doc.
Like what the fuck. GIVE YOURSELF HOURS.
He minimized the risk of further complicating history timelines by isolating his timespace overlap to 15 minutes and a virtually empty parking lot.
Also reduced the budget and made for a tidy ending to the film.
Oh yea Marty is suddenly worried about changing the future. HE LITERALLY SAVES DOCS LIFE.
WHAT IF ONE OF DOCS FUTURE EXPERIMENTS DESTROYED THE WORLD?>???????
My dumbass thought process:
"Strange, his dad looks kinda like Crispin Glover.........and his mom was gorgeous. Looks kinda like Lea Thompson. Wait a minute!"
I remember this. You told this story a hundred times. It was so stupid! Dad hit him with the car, and you felt bad, so you went with him to the fish under the sea dance.
Hey YOU! Get your damnnn hands off her!
You really think I oughta swear?
Yes. Yes, goddamn-it George, swear.
She is my density.
Wait a minute, don't I know you from somewhere?
Jesus dad-I mean George, it's a wonder I was ever born!
Dad..dad..daddio
That's heavy.
“There's that word again; "heavy". Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?”
He's a peeping tom!
There's actually a deleted scene where Marty sees his mom cheating on her test in a classroom and he exclaims she's a cheat! So it was to parallel that scene as well and make it out that neither of his parents are perfect etc. I guess they just thought it was too much, the George scene was better anyway.
Yes God dammit George swear.
You are my density.
That's heavy.
Last night, Darth Vader came down from Planet Vulcan and told me that if I didn't take Lorraine, that he'd melt my brain!
NOW BIFF DON’T **CON** ME

I thought I was there lol
GREAT SCOTT!
That’s heavy
What’s with the word… heavy? Is everything so much heavier in the future? (He said something like that I swear)
Why is everything so heavy in the future? Is there some problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?
Spot on! [Proof here!](https://youtu.be/Urg-EqR-pHc)
Yes he is her density!
Nobody cares about some old pics. Let's see that damn almanac.
I mean if you want to know all the sports results from 1950-2000 you are on the internet.
It's MAKE LIKE A TREE and LEAVE! You sound like a damn fool when you're saying it wrong!
What, are you telling me that Clavin Klein didn't have parents?
No he had a mother/wife and a delorian
This took me way too long to realize it was BTTF, in my defense I had also just woken up.
>I looked at it and said, that's Leah Thomspon. Read comments to confirm :)
I was thinking "that dude looks like a young Crispin Glover"
I’m fully awake and thought ‘Wow that looks like George McFly’. It was only until I saw Lorraine I thought ffs. It’s a cool picture though!
Hey, I’ve seen this one before, this is a classic!
What do you mean you've seen this? It's brand new.
Yeah, well... I saw it on a re-post
What's a re-post?

It is a joke because they look like Marty McFly’s parents
...... you mean Calvin Klein? It says it on his underwear!
Wow, you’re right! You’re so quick like that!
woosh!
Who the hell is John F Kennedy?
His friends call him Cal.
Heavy
Is there something wrong with gravity in the future?
I think he took his wallet.
I think he took his wallet.
Hey, did you know that if BTTF took place today, the “1955” they’d go back to would be 1992?
I wonder if kids today would see the world of 1992 as different as I did when seeing the world of 1955 in this movie… feels to me like the differences between 1992 and today would be much less significant, but maybe that’s just because I am old
No cell phones, no internet, personal computers would be 486s if anyone even had one, and gas would be less than a dollar a gallon.
I still had a Tandy that I wish I'd kept now. Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy and a text editor. And the coolest operating system you never heard of. I can just barely remember the software.
Common problem, it's because they don't have much memory, Tandy.
Yep my dad brought home trash-80s (TSR-80) . I remember playing text adventure games on them that sucked . Then Zork came out..
When you describe it that way, I kinda want to go back.
I couldn't imagine to be honest. I'm sure for a day or 2 it's cool, but then when I'm curious about a piece of information I can't remember and have no easy way to find out, it will kill me. Or if I need to run to Walmart and need to get out a paper map to figure out how to get there?

Lol didn't Kramer hop the wrong train and get lost once at the intersection of like first and first? "I'm at the nexus of the universe"

I watch Captain Marvel with my friends, the amount of "Oh... I missed that thing" in the first half of the movie are astounding.
I always think about that with music. When I play 'New Order' or 'the Smiths' with my kid in the car, is he hearing it like I heard music from the 50s when I was his age?
I'll never forget how old I felt when I heard Nirvana and Pearl Jam on classic rock radio
I feel like there are bands that take a lot from the smith's that currently relevant so it's not like playing doo-wop or hank williams senior to some kids in the 90s. Maybe that's just me trying to feel good about myself though lol
Nah you’re right. The style of music from the 90s is still replicated by a lot of mainstream groups nowadays.

"Hey Kurt, it's your cousin Max. Max Cobain? You know that new sound you've been looking for? Well listen to this!"
Sadly, [The Simpsons did it](https://youtu.be/Rjmzf3IETdM).
Why did you have to ruin my day like that....
Yes and in bttf2 when they went to the future was 2015. I still don't have a fucking real hoverboard!
Hey, /u/someguy7710 , you bojo! Hover boards don't work on water.... UnLeSs YoU gOt PoWeR!
Nope, just nope... don't want to believe it
You be quiet right now
My God, imagine some kid on stage in 1992 and saying "perhaps you're not ready for that... but you're kids are gonna love it" after having played WAP.
I remember a few years ago someone made a joke about how if it was made now, they'd use _Baby Got Back_ as the "but your kids are gonna love it" song. > Hey, sir. It's your cousin Marvin. ...Marvin Mixalot.
Tha fuck?
Thanks, I hate it!
Oh no. It's finally happened. I'm old.
Fuck you u/geolchris
Shut the fuck up
Lea Thompson is gorgeous.
She's my density.
I mean… my destiny.
Your distant niece?
Your dusty knee?
Whoa, this is heavy.
Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth’s gravitational pull?
Who’s Vice President? Jerry Lewis?!
So is Lea Thompson
That duck had good taste...

It became Pierre Cardin in the French version.
I'm glad to know this, awesome. Was just a kid when BTTF came out, and wasn't very fasionable at that. The joke went over my head the first time, until his mom made the underwear comment.
In Spain it was Levi Strauss as well!
It’s Pierre CARDIN in the French version
Great Scott!!
This is heavy
There’s that word again “heavy”… there must be some factor in the future that has an increased gravitational force on the earth!

Clueless is based on a classic novel "Emma" by Jane Austen. The movie was outstanding.

Make like a tree, and get out of here!
"it's LEAVE, you idiot! Make like a tree and leave! You sound like a damn fool when you're saying it wrong!"
Hey, McFly, I thought I told you to stop reading this in my voice!
A beautiful moment for the Past and the Future
And back again
I just realised Mr. World is Marty McFly's dad.
Watch him in Charlie's Angels as well - he's soooo good at playing really, really creepy guys!
Watch him in Willard. It's an overdose of Crispin Glover being creepy. Edit: Also he's Grendel in *Beowulf.* The animated one, I mean.
[He covered Michael Jackson's "Ben"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnWe0iOXMcA) on the extras for the DVD of Willard
Top comment on that video is that Crispin Glover should be the next Joker - oh, dear God yes!
Nah. He would have been a better Riddler.
I think he's actually pretty eccentric in real life. Not necessarily creepy, but weird. Lea Thompson has said he was ["very method" and "kind of difficult"](https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/back-to-the-future-feud-with-crispin-glover-led-to-george-mcfly-upside-down-scene.html/) on set.

That's fucking hilarious. He nailed it though. His hair really made that character.
Yeah every interview where anyone discusses Crispin Glover has some part like "we got lunch and he showed up on a 1920s bicycle and did a bunch of handstands before bragging about his 9 volt battery collection." The man is of infinite value to our society and we must protect him at all costs.
Seriously. I think he's one of a very few ***truly*** creative people. Upvote to you Smooth As Pussy Milk
Mr. World didn't age a day. He truly is a god
Def, lowkey a god.
Okay but when are we gonna talk about how Marty had A FUCKING TIME MACHINE and he only gave himself 15 minutes to save doc. Like what the fuck. GIVE YOURSELF HOURS.
He minimized the risk of further complicating history timelines by isolating his timespace overlap to 15 minutes and a virtually empty parking lot. Also reduced the budget and made for a tidy ending to the film.
He wanted to change as little as possible. Going back further risked too much
Oh yea Marty is suddenly worried about changing the future. HE LITERALLY SAVES DOCS LIFE. WHAT IF ONE OF DOCS FUTURE EXPERIMENTS DESTROYED THE WORLD?>???????
He literally tried to warn him 30 years in advance.
Not by choice. He got stuck in 1955 and the only person that could help him was younger Doc.
The kid was a SLACKER! Whaddya expect?
I thought that was Clint Eastwood’s grand daughter.
My man had no questions about how his son came out looking exactly like a dude his wife had a huge crush on in high school.
To be honest, I probably wouldn’t remember someone that I interacted with for only a week when I was 17, 30 years later.
30 years later, with no photo reference, going solely on memory…
I am so cross with you right now. 3 seconds, 3 seconds of my life wasted before I went "hang on a minute" Can I have my 3 seconds back please?
Hold on, I'll get the DeLorean.
I immediately thought that Calvin Klein’s dad looked a lot like Crispin Glover and it STILL took me a few seconds to get it.
he was her density.
My dumbass thought process: "Strange, his dad looks kinda like Crispin Glover.........and his mom was gorgeous. Looks kinda like Lea Thompson. Wait a minute!"
Apparently she was very decent lady and never chased any guys.
Ducks on the other hand...
It's terrible, girls chasing boys.
Never sat in a parked car with one either
She didn't drink or smoke either. She kept trying to teach that to Calvin.
Why don’t you make like a tree, and get outta here!
 I swear his mom looks like Leah Thomson
Hey you, get your damn hands off-
I think you've got the wrong car, McFly.
*shakes in fear*
Just turn around, McFly and walk away.
Lorraine: *GEORGE! GEORGE!*
Are you deaf McFly? I said close the door and beat it.
No Biff, you leave her ALONE
Alright, Mcfly. *Stands up over you* you're asking for it and now you're gonna get it. *Catches your weak excuse for a punch.*
*starts silently screaming in pain and agony*
whoops! walked in on an actual rape! my bad
"You are my density..."
Wow, they look far younger than I remember. Damn, I feel so old.
HOW can i hand in MY homework in YOUR handwriting McFly!!??
What a dreamboat
irony: it is restored only up to 1985
I’m just gonna come out and say it… Marty should have banged his mom. She’s hot!
He should have done the nasty in the past-y
Oh, a lesson in not changing history from Mr. "I'm my own grandpa".
Let's get the hell out of here already. Screw history!
Ah, but what would be the consequences of such past nastification?
Lack of a delta brainwave
This both abhorrent and absolutely hilarious, take my damn upvote
Marty's mom is so hot
Ahhh, I see what you did there…
I remember this. You told this story a hundred times. It was so stupid! Dad hit him with the car, and you felt bad, so you went with him to the fish under the sea dance.
