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.

From: "Jack Kahn"Subject: you idiot part 4 Date: Thu, 9 Apr 1998 21:11:41 -0500 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.

Date: Sat, 01 Aug 1998 18:02:51 -0400 From: Roy Toms <rapto@worldy.com> 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.

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

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!!!!!!!

From: THIKnes@aol.com Date: Thu, 3 Sep 1998 16:19:40 EDT Subject: back to the future 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.
