For those of you who don't know what this movie is about (shame on you), let me break it down. A dude by the name of Marty McFly accidentally travels back in time while in an attempt to escape some bad people who were after his homeboy, Doc. The time machine is the most badass thing out there. Instead of it being some spell or black hole to step through, it is a DeLorean time machine. Marty hops inside that wild ride and as he picks up speed, the time machine aspect is triggered and he is sent back in time to his parents' high school years. When I am rich and famous, I am most definitely going to be owning that bad boy of a car.
Last year, I went to Target to buy some toothpaste and walked out with six bags full of stuff I probably didn't need, but that damn store hypnotizes me every time. As I'm walking out, I stumble across this badass-looking car which I immediately recognize. It was the DeLorean. Not the exact same one as in the movie, but it was close enough. The temptation to climb inside and punch in 1955 and go find Marty was the only thought shuffling around in my head. Unfortunately, the movie is fiction, so instead, I took some pictures. Here is a quote to go with it:
Marty McFly: Wait a minute, Doc. Ah... Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?
Dr. Emmett Brown: The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?
The car isn't the only thing that I love about Back to the Future. The dialogue is fantastic. Below are a few of my favorite quotes that I love to recite at least once a week:
George McFly: Lorraine. My density has popped me to you.
Lorraine Baines: What?
George McFly: Oh. What I meant to say was...
Lorraine Baines: Wait a minute. Don't I know you from somewhere?
George McFly: Yes. Yes. I'm George. George McFly. I'm your density. I mean, your destiny.
George McFly: Last night, Darth Vader came down from Planet Vulcan and told me that if I didn't take Lorraine out, that he'd melt my brain.
Dr. Emmett Brown: If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour... you're gonna see some serious shit.
And of course, my all time favorite:
Marty McFly: Whoa. This is heavy.
Dr. Emmett Brown: There's that word again. "Heavy." Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the Earth's gravitational pull?
For those of you who haven't seen this epic movie (once again, shame on you), I encourage you to do so. I'm a little obsessed (I even have the movie poster in my room).
Awe, it even has the Mr. Fusion from BTTF2!
