Jul. 19th, 2010 06:58 pmMy parents were in town this weekend. Saturday night Mom and I went to see Back to the Future at the AFI; I haven't seen that thing on the big screen in twenty-five years, and we both went "oh my god, twenty-five years?!" Pretty sure it was the first first-run movie I ever saw in a theater (the first movie I ever saw in a theater at all was E.T., in the re-release). I was glad I'd looked in the movie listings and seen that it was there - and it was a good time, seeing poor Michael J. (no relation) before the Parkinson's got him, and much younger Christopher Lloyd, and oh, everybody! (Even Crispin Glover, that crazy SOB.)
Query: in the new-and-improved 1985, George McFly has published his first novel at the age of 47. What, then, has he been doing so successfully in the meantime? (And why do his older children still live at home, the way they did in the original sucky 1985?) Maybe he'd had a rip-roaring short story career? Does that buy a four-bedroom house in the LA suburbs and a BMW and whatever-all else?
