Since it's original cinema release in the 80's, The Back to the Future Trilogy has amassed a staggering worldwide box office revenue of US$926 million. In fact, 'Back to the Future' was the worldwide highest grossing film of 1985. For generations time travel has captivated readers and movie-goers alike, and this August the most revered series of films in this genre will not only be re-lived by those who treasured the original cinema releases - but will be introduced to a whole new generation on DVD. It doesn't matter if you are a fan of the 80's, Michael J Fox, or the technology of DVD - this is an event not to be missed, being one of the most anticipated DVD releases of all-time. Back to the Future follows the amazing adventures of Marty McFly (Michael J Fox), a high-school student in the small Northern California town of Hill Valley. The fun begins when Marty’s friend and mentor, crazed scientist Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd), invents a time machine in the form of a nuclear-powered DeLorean. Marty accidentally finds himself transported back to the year 1955 where he is faced with the prospect of having no future, unless he can get his bumbling teenage father (Crispin Glover) and flirtatious mother (Lea Thompson) to fall in love while keeping town bully Biff Tannen (Thomas F.Wilson) away. And, of course, he must convince a young but still crazed Doc Brown to help him get back to the future. Back to the Future II continues with Doc Brown returning from the future. Doc Brown convinces Marty and girlfriend Jennifer (Elisabeth Shue) to travel with him into the future where Marty must ensure his future son does not participate in a crime that would lead to catastrophic consequences. They return to 1985 only to find Biff Tannen has managed to obtain money and power thus creating an alternate 1985. Marty and Doc Brown realise they must once again go back in time to 1955. In the conclusion to the trilogy, Marty receives a telegram in 1955 from Doc Brown who has been transported further back in time to 1885. Through research, Marty discovers that Doc Brown is murdered shortly after writing the telegram. Marty must decide, should he go back to 1885 and rescue Doc Brown or make his way safely back to 1985?

  • Classrooms of the Future Marty Mcfly and Dr Emmett Brown Managed To
    Classrooms of the Future Marty McFly and Dr Emmett Brown managed to do it. They transported themselves through time in the film Back to the Future and its sequels. In the second film, on October 26, 1985, Dr. Emmett Brown arrived in the DeLorean time machine and persuaded Marty McFly and his girlfriend, Jennifer Parker, to travel to the future with him and help their forthcoming children. They travelled thirty years ahead to October 26, 2015. The film was actually made in 1989, some 26 years before the futuristic date in the film. The screenwriters, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, attempted to predict the future. According to Zemeckis, the 2015 depicted in the film was not meant to be an accurate representation of the future. However, the film did correctly predict a number of technological and sociological changes that occurred by 2015, including: the rise of ubiquitous cameras; the use of unmanned flying drones for newsgathering; widescreen flat-panel television sets mounted on walls with multiple channel viewing; video chat systems; hands-free video games; talking hologram billboards; wearable technology; tablet computers with fingerprint scanners; and head-mounted displays. Payment on personal portable devices was also depicted. I am also trying to predict a future: that of education, yet I am not looking 26 years hence. Rather I am looking at five to seven years and the change is likely to be just as impressive as in the film, only achieved in fewer years. This is due to the exponential growth in IT and the impact it is likely to have on education.

  • Back to the Future, but SEC and FINRA Enforcement Issues from the Present (October 2020)
    NSCPCurrents NOVEMBER 2020 Back to the Future, But SEC and FINRA Enforcement Issues from the Present (October 2020) By Brian Rubin About the Authors: Brian Rubin is a Partner at Eversheds Sutherland. He can be reached at [email protected]. 1 NOVEMBER 2020 NSCP CURRENTS 1 NOVEMBER 2020 NSCP CURRENTS his year marks the 35th anniversary of the premier of the first Back to the Future movie, and November 5th was the 65th anniversary of Marty McFly going back in time in the TDeLorean to escape the terrorists who shot Doc Brown. Back to the Future Part II followed in November 1989, where our stars traveled from 1985 to 2015, a world of flying cars andJaws 19 (or not). And then came Back to the Future Part III in May 1990, involving a trip to the Wild West in 1885. The movies are known for many things, including the following: • Cool things and happenings: • The hoverboard • Self-tying sneakers • The skateboard chase • Quotes: • “Why don’t you make like a tree and get outta here?” (Cf. “Why don’t you make like a tree and leave?”) (Get it?) • “Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.” • “Nobody calls me chicken.” • “Eastwood. Clint Eastwood.” (Cf. “Bond. James Bond.”) • “Who’s Vice President, Jerry Lewis?” • When Marty claimed to be from 1985, 1955, Doc asked him, “So tell me, future boy, who’s president of the United States in 1985?” Marty responded, “Ronald Reagan,” causing Doc to say, “The actor? Then who’s Vice President, Jerry Lewis? I suppose Jane Wyman is the First Lady.

  • All the Things That Back to the Future Got Right (And Wrong)
    All the things that Back to the Future got right (and wrong) Posted 7 days ago by i100 staff in ents Upvote Wednesday 21st October 2015 marks the date that Marty McFly and Doc Brown flew through time to visit in the 1989 classic Back to the Future II. While the film, directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd, made many fanciful predictions which we're still waiting for, it was surprisingly correct in some aspects. Here's what it got right and what it got wrong about the world we live in, in 2015: Right Fingerprint scanners Fingerprint recognition, like that used to pay for a taxi in the film, can be found on the latest iPhones and at US passport control. Fuelling cars on rubbish While you can't exactly scavenge through a wheelie-bin and force feed it through your car's petrol cap (as Doc does to the DeLorean), using waste as a fuel - in the form of biogas, is something we use in 2015. There's even a bus in Bristol that runs entirely on human and food waste. Hoverboard transportation The kind with wheels may be banned on British streets, but inventors in the US have managed to create a real hoverboard using powerful electromagnets and a metal course. The Hendo II, fronted by renowned skateboarder Tony Hawk will be launched on Wednesday. Hands-free games A young Elijah Wood and his pal denounce Marty for using a video game that needs a handset in the film, suggesting that by 2015 hands-free computer games would be mainstream.

  • Ovul Durmusoglu
    !By Ovul Durmusoglu ! “…the archive […] determines that all these things said do not accumulate endlessly in an amorphous mass, nor are they inscribed in an unbroken linearity, nor do they disappear at the mercy of chance external accidents; but they are grouped together in distinct figures, composed together in accordance with multiple relations, maintained or blurred in accordance with specific regularities.” - Michel Foucault, The Archaeology of Knowledge, 1972, London: Tavistock, and New York: !Pantheon, 128. “History is hysterical: it is constituted only if we consider it, only if we look at it – and in order to look at it, we must be excluded from it.” - Roland Barthes, Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography, 1981, New York: Hill and Wang, !65. !“Nothing Is.” - Sun Ra ! !I. We were able to experience cinematic spectacle in the cinemas that hadn’t yet been tucked inside shopping malls. I remember taking in the catchy iconography of the science fiction comedy Back to the Future (1985) starring Michael J. Fox in a popular cinema in Ankara where I grew up. A crazy professor named Doc Brown transforms a DeLorean DMC-12 into a time machine. The main protagonist Marty McFly finds himself instantaneously transported from 1985 to 1955 shortly after being introduced to the time machine by his friend. Marty spends his time in 1955 to better his family history – ultimately, in order to better his present. No wonder it was a favorite of the US president at the time, Ronald Reagan: the film’s message is typical of 1980s Hollywood, espousing a good, happy American family and the preservation of social values based on that good !family.

  • THANK YOU! Jeff Leibow and the DOODLE 4 NF Committee
    DOODLE 4 NF P.O. Box 194443 San Francisco, CA 94119 www.doodle4NF.org Dear Friend, My name is Jeff, and this is my daughter Emma in the picture. Chances are, you have never heard of neuro- fibromatosis. Three years ago, neither had I, and neither had my wife. It wasn't until Emma was diagnosed with NF that we became aware of its existence. Since then we have learned that it is one of the most common genetic disorders. One in every 3,000 babies is born with NF. Neurofibromatosis can affect any family. Imagine an unpredictable disease that causes tumors to form on your nerves, sometimes resulting in disfigurement, paralysis, deafness, blindness or cancer. In the wrong place even benign tumors can be fatal. Despite decades of research, there is still no cure for NF, and treatments are largely inadequate. But there is hope. The Neurofibromatosis Network is a national non-profit whose mission is to provide services to the NF community and to promote federal funding for NF research. My wife and I have made it our mission to raise awareness and support for those living with NF. That is where you come in. All we are asking is that you take a few minutes to create a doodle and sign it. The money raised at auction could make a world of difference to the 100,000 people living with this disorder, including Emma. Join with actress Gillian Anderson, who lost her brother to NF in 2011, by participating in the DOODLE 4 NF charity auction of celebrity Doodles.

  • 4.2 on the Political Economy of the Contemporary (Superhero) Blockbuster Series
    4.2 On the Political Economy of the Contemporary (Superhero) Blockbuster Series BY FELIX BRINKER A decade and a half into cinema’s second century, Hollywood’s top-of-the- line products—the special effects-heavy, PG-13 (or less) rated, big-budget blockbuster movies that dominate the summer and holiday seasons— attest to the renewed centrality of serialization practices in contemporary film production. At the time of writing, all entries of 2014’s top ten of the highest-grossing films for the American domestic market are serial in one way or another: four are superhero movies (Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, X-Men: Days of Future Past, The Amazing Spider-Man 2: Rise of Electro), three are entries in ongoing film series (Transformers: Age of Extinction, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, 22 Jump Street), one is a franchise reboot (Godzilla), one a live- action “reimagining” of an animated movie (Maleficent), and one a movie spin-off of an existing entertainment franchise (The Lego Movie) (“2014 Domestic”). Sequels, prequels, adaptations, and reboots of established film series seem to enjoy an oft-lamented but indisputable popularity, if box-office grosses are any indication.[1] While original content has not disappeared from theaters, the major studios’ release rosters are Felix Brinker nowadays built around a handful of increasingly expensive, immensely profitable “tentpole” movies that repeat and vary the elements of a preceding source text in order to tell them again, but differently (Balio 25-33; Eco, “Innovation” 167; Kelleter, “Einführung” 27). Furthermore, as part of transmedial entertainment franchises that expand beyond cinema, the films listed above are indicative of contemporary cinema’s repositioning vis-à-vis other media, and they function in conjunction with a variety of related serial texts from other medial contexts rather than on their own—by connecting to superhero comic books, live-action and animated television programming, or digital games, for example.
