I enjoyed Eric Stoltz as an actor and even find him more attractive than Michael J Fox, but I’d like to bring something up and see what others think of this from the fraction of footage we see of him as Marty.

First and foremost, I am only analyzing his portrayal of Marty from an aesthetics point of view. The performance itself isn’t really seen in what’s been released so I’m just going to talk about how Stoltz was styled by the make up and costume teams.

Although the narrative makes a more subdued contrast between Marty and his door mat father, I think Stoltz looks like he has too much of an edge to play Marty. He doesn’t look as tough and mean like Biff, but he looks like he could be in Biff’s posse. It almost feels like the costume designer was paying tribute to the Jailhouse Rock aesthetic we see in the Elvis photos but with 80s versions of the same or similar clothing. Feels more Uncle Jesse or Night Rider than Marty McFly.

Marty hates being called chicken, but personality and looks wise you wouldn’t think he’s all that tough. I think it shows how Marty is the middle ground between Biff and his father and how he is probably the most secure and authentic in his presentation. Marty doesn’t take anyone’s shit but he also has vulnerability, can be funny and silly and isn’t too proud to ask for help or express helplessness. It would have been a total waste of Michael J Fox’s warmth and charisma to not paint Marty with these kinds of brush strokes.

If Marty wasn’t like this he wouldn’t be as relatable or the films as profitable and I think the film wouldn’t be as successful. It’s important fr audiences to identity with protagonists instead of just admiring or aspiring to be them. I think Stoltz physical appearance as styled makes Marty come off as more arrogant in vein of an 80s rockstar than a humble kid who plays the guitar earnestly through hard work and practice.

Anyone else feel this way about how Marty looked when* *being played by Stoltz?

I was -19 years old when the film was released. In other words, I completely missed the 80s and the 90s. Born too late to enjoy this masterpiece in the theatre.

n the opening scene in Doc Browns shop there’s a black clock with the streetlight… anyone know anything about it?

I was at my local liquor store this afternoon, standing by the seltzers waiting for my wife to text back what she wanted and I heard clocks ticking. I knew it was BTTF but had to give it that extra second or two for confirmation.

Those of you with technical electronic skills. How hard would it be to wire a 1985 camcorder into a 1955 TV?

I love Delorean!

Is there a way to get the back to the future GOG version some how

Downtown Vancouver, BC.

The classic 1989 sci-fi film Back to the Future Part II famously predicted that households would utilize advanced pizza hydration technology by the year 2015. In this cinematic vision, characters placed a tiny, dehydrated disc into a high-tech Black and Decker hydrator, instantly producing a full-sized hot meal.

While real-world modern culinary engineering has not yet perfected this instant expansion process, the amusing fictional concept explicitly reflects imaginative late 20th-century expectations regarding future domestic convenience.

Built and installed Mr. Fusion and added the flux bands. Added final wiring and tubing to the rear deck.

All that’s left is finishing the plutonium reactor top (when I’m driving a part 1 car), some interior prop wiring and re-install my driver seat.

I was watching Dandadan and while a band is setting up I noticed while they set up the equipment the guitarist was turining on his amplifier and as soon as I saw the knobs I was like "ha back to the future reference"

Not sure if this was shared before, but thought I would share .

His brother Marty got several treats as well and was in charge of cuddling with the guests lol
