BACK TO THE FUTURE WAS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER MADE AND WAS THE BEST
COMEDY OF 1985. OBVIOUSLY YOU DIDN'T LIKE IT BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T
UNDERSTAND IT. THIS MOVIE WAS WAY TO FAST FOR YOU. ONLY SMART PEOPLE
WOULD UNDERSTAND IT. OBVIOUSLY YOU ARE NOT!!!

You ARE a fucking idiot.  Back to the Future came out when I was 5 years
old and I had no trouble following the plot then.  Are you serious?  If
you can't follow the plot to such a cheesy movie as Back to the Future,
how do you expect to enjoy any real epic dramas.  I'll bet you didn't
even like Titanic.  You probablly thought to yourself "this movie
Titanic is lame and hard to figure ou.  Besides, this would never happen
in real life."  You dumbass.  I bet if marty McFly was aboard the
Titanic, it never would have sunk.  I pity you, you are too stupid to
understand even the cheesiest of movies.  Got any beef pussy?  Mail me
back, I dare you.  cv266884@wcupa.edu    I gotta go, I'm about to watch
Ernest Gets a Hemroid, I'd invite you to come watch it with me but I
think it's too complicated for you to understand.

Firstly, there is no mention of drugs in all three of these movies.
Secondly, dinner plans should be discussed after the movie.  If you would
pay attention then you would notice that the reason he goes from a mall
parking lot to a farm is because he GOES 30 YEARS BACK IN TIME, you idiot.
You can't expect to understand a movie if you leave to get hotdogs.  The
reason he seems to have an incestuous relationship with his mom is because
it 30 years in the past and she doesn't know that is her son.  The reason
for different cars, the looks of town squares, and peoples ages and
relationships, is because there is a 30 year interval between them.  Thirty
years can, sometimes, make you look one hell of a lot older.

Subject: Back to the Future is Great

Back to the Future is a great movie.  Obviously you don't have the
necessary brain power to understand what is going on in it. If you
didn't realize this, the scientist made the DeLorean into a time
machine.  When the car reaches 88mph it transports to the specified time
period.  When the car reached 88mph in the parking lot, he was
transported back to the past, specifically 1955, where that parking lot
did not exist, and a farm existed in it's place.  Don't judge the movie
on your own limited powers of comprehension.  You obviously don't have
the type of mind that easily understands time travel.  The writers for
that movie are very smart.  They can write both comedy and a time travel
story, which is very difficult.  I completely understand time travel,
and it is very interesting.  If YOU can't realize why the car was
suddenly in a parking lot and then on a farm, then I pity you.

I e-mailed you yesterday about Back to the Future and Star Wars.  This
is about back to the future again.  The dance he was banned from was a
school dance in 1985, the dance he was playing at was in 1955.  He had
to play at that dance so his parents would fall in love. he stopped them
from falling in love shortly after arriving in 1955. I don't know how
you can not understand Back to the Future.

I hope I've cleared this up for you, the dance he was banned from
playing in was the school dance in 1985, before he went back in time to
1955 in the DeLorean, which is a time machine, if you didn't know this.
The dance he was playing at was a previous school dance in 1955.  Do you
understand the difference between those two years.  It is 30 fucking
years

and he doesn't get in trouble with his parents, dammit

STOP WRITING REVIEWS YOU IDIOT

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING ABOUT TIME TRAVEL OR THE IMPACTS CHANGING
THE PAST CAN HAVE ON THE FUTURE

IF YOU DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY FOX'S PARENTS WERE DIFFERENT AT THE END OF
THE MOVIE THAN THE BEGINNING IT WAS BECAUSE FOX'S CHARACTER CHANGED THE
CIRCUMSTANCES OF THEIR FIRST MEETING IN 1955, AND HE CHANGED HOW THEY
FELL IN LOVE.

YOU REALLY ARE AN IDIOT

You obviously are the most idiotic person alive on the face of the
planet.Apparently you did not actually watch the movie. If you had
actually paid attention you would know exactly what is going on. It is
an excellent movie about time travel. Next time you want to write a
movie review why don't you try sitting down and paying attention instead
of getting up and jacking around. You can suck my dick you fucking
low-life asshole!!!!!!!

Kelvin,
  In reference to your review on Back To the Future staring MICHEAL J Fox (Not
in the Breakfast club) and Christopher Lloyd (who was not in Caddyshack or
Fletch for that manner) I would like to correct you on a few points you had
made. You call the movie "chaotic" and "difficult to figure out." The plot
concerns a high school student who travels back in time in order to save his
own existence. Is that what you whould consider a difficult story to follow?
Unless your under the age of 7 or simply not paying much attention I'd say
it's pretty easy.
         You wrote further, "one moment Fox is driving around in a parking
lot, then the viewer turns to his girlfriend to talk about dinner plans and
looks up to find the student staring at a farmer in the middle of nowhere." If
I may make a suggetion for you not to talk about dinner plans while you are
watching a movie and maybe you wouldnt find it so hard to understand.
         You went on saying, "Later, when the viewer returns to his seat with
some hot dogs and popcorn, he sees a strange, seemingly incestuous
conversation between Fox and his mother (maybe his sister?). Still later,
after the viewer has moved to a better seat, Fox is in a concert hall playing
electric guitar, even though he was banned from the concert early in the
film." By now you've got no damn clue whats going on in the movie because you
were eating hot dogs, talking with friends and moving around during all the
scenes. No wonder you found it "chaotic" and "Hard to follow" Unless your 6
years old I'd say Back to the future is no brain teaser. You conclude by
suggesting that Steven Spielberg and the writers of the movie were "drugged
out" during the production of this movie. What are you kidding? Thats about as
correct as Spielberg producing Apocalypse Now and The Godfather.
