Eric Luper's Random Musings

(quotes borrowed from www.imdb.com who transcribed them from the actual movie)

It's been said that life imitates Back to the Future....at least I think it's been said.

Anyhow, I used to feel like this:

[concerning his audition tape]
Marty McFly: What if I send it in and they don't like it? What if they say I'm no good? What if they say "Get out of here, kid. You got no future."? I mean, I just don't think I can take that kind of rejection. Jesus, I'm starting to sound like my old man!




Then I had a moment like this:

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.

Now, I feel like this:

[a smiling Biff comes in the McFly's house with a boxed package and waves to Marty on his way to the living room]
Biff Tannen: Mr. McFly! Mr. McFly, this just arrived. Oh, Hi, Marty. I think it's your new book.
[Biff puts the package on a small table and moves two candlesticks out of the way]
Lorraine Baines: [opens the package and sees a stack of thick books reading "A Match Made in Space." The books have George's name on them, too] Oh, Honey. Your first novel!
[picks up one copy and looks at it]
George McFly: Like I've always told you, you put your mind to it, you can accomplish ANYTHING.
[Lorraine hands the book to George and George hands it to Marty]



My big box of books just arrived! Yay! More later! I need to go recover.
