Paducah Home Theater Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I'd like to know the official size of the TV that Marty had. I'm guessing it's an 80". I remember when this movie came out, that TV seemed ridiculously large, like there ain't no way that's going to become reality. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) I went on vacation to the smokies once, drove through Gatlinburg. There was a huge Delorean car show and group ride going on. Just in one parking lot there was at least 20 Deloreans but there was more spread out in town. I bet there were 30-50 of them. It was enough that I had no idea that many still existed and were road worthy. Every one of the ones I saw had a flux capacitor and the cheesy little label on it, they were all rolling movie props. If you get the trilogy there are some special features that talk about the making of the Delorean concept for the movie, that's really cool. There's other neat little tidbits like the origin of the term "jigawatt", which doesn't exist.

Paducah Home Theater Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Pick up a USA Today:http://www.polygon.com/2015/10/21/9578593/back-to-the-future-usa-today-front-pageAnd a Pepsi Perfect:http://www.today.com/parents/bra-vo-see-fun-way-olivia-wilde-jason-sudeikis-son-t51211Another thing that may have been somewhat correct is if you read the newspaper, one of the headlines on the left says "president says she's tired" meaning in the future we'll have a woman president. Of course Hillary has a real good chance at that right this minute, unfortunately. Also the newspaper names Swiss terrorists, as if that's shocking, except ISIS is trying to make that a reality: http://www.thelocal.ch/20150115/isis-video-encourages-swiss-terror-attacks Also the newspaper mentions a push to install kill switch breathalyzers in every car. Of course they fly, but still: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-09-21/mandatory-breathalyzers-could-soon-be-every-car-if-feds-have-their-way Edited October 21, 2015 by MetropolisLakeOutfitters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
