On Jimmy Kimmel and on Back to the Future day (ie, the day Marty and Doc traveled to the future, according to the movies)…

Very amusing.  Thought the best overall joke was “Marty McFly’s” reaction to being told, at the end of the skit, that Micheal J. Fox would be a guest on the show.

Pardon the pun, but how time flies!  I remember going to the theaters to see the original Back to the Future in 1985 and being blown away by it.  Wasn’t as impressed with the two sequels (BTFII had some very funny scenes taking place within the context of the first movie but the ending was so clearly “to be continued” that it annoyed me.  BTFIII closed out the series well but the characters went back in time so far, to the wild west, that it lost the sense of immediacy the original had.  What made the original so cool was to see Marty meeting up with his parents when they were his age.  He knew them, but he didn’t really know them.  In BTFIII, while we see distant relatives of some original characters, we never felt the same closeness to them as the original movie’s plot had).

Nonetheless, if nothing else, this makes me want to watch the movies again.
