The Back to the Future trilogy serves the surprising function of providing something upon which Sinclair Davidson, long term stuck-in-the-1950's-and-he-wasn't-even-born-then uber Catholic and Catallaxy fixture CL, and I, can agree.
I have a Coen brothers style fantasy vision of meeting them in a bar, and all nodding in agreement about the worthiness of the Future trilogy (yes, even the second one); then simultaneously saying "But, jeez you're an idiot on every other topic" and a fistfight breaks out. Jason Soon then makes an appearance, utilizing his boxing skills to stage an intervention.
Philippa Martyr can make a late entry, doing her Julia Flyte redeemed impersonation, tending to our wounds in her volunteer nurses uniform...
I'm a fan as well.
ReplyDeleteChris Lloyd made the movies. Huey Lewis and the news helped as well.
