    Thank you for telling the truth about rock and roll. For those that don't know, Rock's Mt. Rushmore consists of Robert Johnson (Jimmy Paige pretty much stole his whole catalog), Little Richard, Chuck Berry, and Jimi Hendrix.

      Opera puts you to sleep, Oprah makes millions of dollars controlling the minds of upper middle classed white suburban housewives.

      no, it was the name on his underwear, so lorraine assumed Marty's name was Calvin Klein

    well, not to be harsh to chuck berry, but he did steal the famous opening riff to johnny b goode from a song called "ain't that just like a woman." and also he took the rhythm for "maybellene" from some white guy. look it up.

    the thing is, the way his parents meet changes & so who's not to say that their decision to have children might not alter too...they may in the end decide that they're too kwl to have kids & then Marty may cease to exist purely cuz his parents were too busy off having fun
    the whole bit about him having a childhood that he now knows nothing about has always been poking around in the back of my mind...but I think for the benefit of enjoying the most awsum film, like ever, I just ignore those pokes!!

    The argument about Forrest Gump reminds me of how terrifying the rape scenes are in Wedding Crashers & Horrible Bosses. Just imagine the audience's reaction if the genders were reversed in both of those scenes! A female boss harassing and raping a male employee? Fine. A male boss doing those to a female employee? Sexist & disturbing. Of course, I find them both disturbing, but no director would play the latter for laughs.

    Think about this though, when Marty goes back to 1985 with a completely different childhood where his parents are sucessfull and he has a new truck etc., would he have even really known Doc like that?

    Actually, it's much worse with Elaine because we forget that Marty has two older siblings. I don't blame you for that because the movie's own sequels forget about them too. Marty is George and Elaine's third kid. That means Elaine hunted down Calvin and either had an affair with him or at worse, had some one night stand before Marty was conceived

    What about the fact that by leaving one timeline and assuming a life in another, he has not only destroyed matter in one universe, but created it in another, giving all science a nice hard dicking?

      Who says we're the original universe? I'm 0k with it if we're not the product of a d0omed alternate universe.

After work, you can usually find the Cracked staff at an all-night diner dissecting the minutiae of comics, movies, memes and more. When animated accompaniment started appearing above their heads, we decided we'd better film the whole thing and put it online. Let the pointless bickering commence!
