It's one of the few trilogies that does actually need to be watched again and again and again.

Oh and that cracked clip, brilliant. lol.

Or wait to watch it in the cinema for its 25th anniversary.

"The original film will be released in cinemas on October 1 (yes, in the UK), with the entire trilogy on Blu ray following on October 25. "

I really liked that video. Funny stuff there.

But their first argument seemed like they were really reaching.

Lorraine didn't know Marty's name was Marty back in 1955. He went by the name Calvin Klein. I can't remember the names of most people I met yesterday, yet alone years ago.

How are Lorraine or George (or even Biff) going to remember what someone looked like 30 years later that they spent a couple days with in high school? There were no pictures of Calvin that they could reflect on years later. I'm only 25 years out of high school and if I wouldn't recognise most people I hung around with if I was to run into them looking the same today, unless I had seen them recently on FB or something.

I don't think it's even remotely serious...

It's Cracked, so surely not. I was just getting involved in their coffee-table debate.

Ah, but she did:

Back to the Future said:
Lorraine: Just relax now Calvin, you've got a big bruise on you're head.

Marty: Ah, where're my pants?

Lorraine: Over there, on my hope chest. I've never seen purple underwear
before, Calvin.

Marty: Calvin, why do you keep calling me Calvin?

Lorraine: Well that's your name, isn't it? Calvin Klein. it's written
all over your underwear. Oh,

I guess they call you Cal, huh?

Marty: Actually, people call me Marty.

She then calls him Marty for the rest of the film.

Hell after George and Lorraine got together at the dance and "Calvin" had his final goodbyes and left them, even Lorraine said, "Marty, that's a nice name."

I am sure as hell that even Biff could at least remember him somewhat. When you go through all those beatings and hilariously bad things that has happened to him, there must be some trauma.

But why would you think it was the same person? If you, age 16 met someone and then 30 years later you met someone similar, would you honestly think it was a time traveller?
