Thanks Ronnie, that made my day. I was having a bad day until I read your post. My smile is back and it's not a sick demented psychotic one like I usually wear. This is one genuine cheek to cheek smile.

Sorry it looks like Ronnie is jealous again.
Ronnie, I'm sure Rhodes really has a shrine of you plastered on his bathroom walls, so stop sweating it.
Btw, I like movies from all eras and Isis is already married, so the goof twins will have to wait for now. But thanks for the cool suggestion. Posts: 7845 | From: Smiling and glancing in awe in the back of a limo | Registered: Mar 2003 | Site Updates: 22

Also, Ronnie before you get all Anti-Goof Demented and try to make Sam's Night too, remember you started it. Posts: 7845 | From: Smiling and glancing in awe in the back of a limo | Registered: Mar 2003 | Site Updates: 22

Geez, I had to re read that...I thought Rhodes had written it, and here it was Ronnie...wow...I am getting everyone so confused lately...
I really like that whole idea though...I don't know if my husband will go for it, but you never know...
He has been ok so far with my Valley shire I have going in my house, and he even was the one who suggested I be a Valley Cat for Halloween...infact my husband thinks Valley is a pretty cool cat...they played in a football pool together and won some big bucks, so they think each other is swell.
You guys are the only ones who seem to be jealous. Posts: 13484 | Registered: Aug 2003 | Site Updates: 0

Sorry Ronnie I was poking fun back, but reading it, it does sounds bad. When I said jealous, I meant of Rhodes not having a shrine of you, which I'm sure he would be the first to admit "The Captain" needs his Ronnie, wait that was Tennille. (sorry)
I don't think I have ever been truly been bent out of shape except for the night I tried Breakdancing in my toga.
Let's split some Scooby Snacks and move on. Posts: 7845 | From: Smiling and glancing in awe in the back of a limo | Registered: Mar 2003 | Site Updates: 22

EA thanks for trying to help us out by suggestioning we hit each other over the head with handbags. You really know how to defuse the situation. Posts: 7845 | From: Smiling and glancing in awe in the back of a limo | Registered: Mar 2003 | Site Updates: 22

I actually meet what I said as a joke too. I really had thought Rhodes had written that...all I saw was a R....and I had just written saying I like being a Bubble Goof, so that's why I assumed he had wrote that, and I actually thought he had written something that was actually funny...but then I started reading down below, and saw Valley was writing to Ronnie, so I wondered how that happened, so I had to go re read it again, and then I realized...hey that ain't Rhodes..OOps.
Sorry for the confusion...but I actually was liking all the suggestions on this thread, so far...so I didn't draw the old handbag out yet...but I'll keep it close by filled with scooby snacks...just incase... Posts: 13484 | Registered: Aug 2003 | Site Updates: 0

valley and isis, why don't you 2 get married already and have little goofy, rewind-addicted twins named randy and julie. then you can brainwash the little goofers into thinking that they were born in the 80s and they can only like music, movies, and television from, 1980 - 1989. now i know that would make you happier than ever.

Hey Ronnie,please dont give those 2 any ideas about mating,if they had a kid that could bring about the end of the Modern Era ,or Quite possibly the Apocalypse.

For the record, I have only just come back to the thread and have the following things to say...
1. McFly, I never meant my initial reply to be a dig at you, more of a dig at the way "70's revisited through time travel" had been done and lacked any real substance a-la-austin powers. Sorry you took it the wrong way.
2. I can't believe there was some major bitchslapping going on and I seemed to have missed it.
3. What's wrong with someone cut and pasting info from another article? If it proves a valid point I don't see a problem. Surely we have all done this at some time in the past.
4. Will we EVER have a thread where Isis thinks that something actually exists today that is better than it was in the 80's??? The forum waits with baited breath.
5. I'm all for handbags at dawn so long as I can borrow the wife's and load it down with a hefty brick...

Was looking for BTTFish threads and came across this one. Wondered if anyone had any further thoughts on it.
I've often thought about this, too. The '50s and the '80s had so many differences with American culture, political status, racial/gender views and technology that it made for an interesting contrast.
The '70s IMO was the first "new" decade - in other words, things from then may be dated, but not really old, if you know what I mean. People basically lived the same in day to day life, etc.
Going from 2006 to 1976 would be far, far less of a change than 1985-1955 was, so if a "remake" of that sort was ever done, I think it'd have to have some other subplots. There's just not any sweeping changes from the '70s and the '00s to make that work on its own.

Do you think a slightly longer time just--say about 40 years--might work in that instance?

For the most part, I'm really hoping BTTF isn't remade the way alot of movies are. If it is, one way it could possibly work would be to have a 17-year old guy in the real 2015 going back to 1985. It could have some of the same elements of the original, but differentiate enough so it doesn't seem like a ripoff. Like I said, I think some deeper storyline would work better, since political/social/popular culture probably won't change much in nine years (heck, I'm sure the real 2015 will be basically just like now with faster technology).
Of course, not that cute little relevant jokes couldn't be thrown in (i.e. "Marty" showing "Doc" a broadcast of the time travel experiment from 2015 on his cameraphone).
P.S. I bet if someone from 1985 were time warped to today, they'd only think it was, like 1996 or '97 at the latest. So, they probably wouldn't think 2015 was any later than 2005 or so.

A remake BTTF, if it will be produced ever, is very hard to produce from one particular point of view. You can watch and rewatch it thousand times. Every time it's exciting as if you're watching first time. This is the hard part to replicate that but not impossible.

That's true, the first three were "their own" movies, while if another one (be it a sequel, prequel or remake) were made, it would appear like it was simply trying to recreate the originals.
And of course, I could watch the original Trilogy about 50 million times. Oh wait, I already have done that.
Really though, I think timewise, the first one couldn't have had better timing. The whole teen culture/rock and roll era was just starting to really formulate in 1955, so it was just enough to make it somewhat relatable to 1985, unlike, say if it were 1980 and 1950, which would be TOO different.
Yet, part of the cool factor was seeing all the differences in American society and popular culture between the '50s and the '80s. So much had changed. That simply wouldn't be the same with the '70s and the '00s.

Yeah, unpredictably enough, so many kids today look like they're from the 80s and even 70s, whether you wear a pair of throwback sneakers, vintage t-shirts, or trucker hats, nobody could have guessed that the 00s would pay that much homage to the 70s and 80s.
Personally though, I still want a hoverboard and some of those self lacing Nikes.
