Back to the Future

October 28th, 2007 § 0

While waiting around for my Guitar Hero III to arrive (it’s only minutes away right now…) I was flipping the channels and found Back to the Future.

Watching it for the 29th time or so, I still find it entertaining and well-written, laden with pop culture tie-ins from the 50′s and 80′s.

Robert Zemeckis does a great job harnessing Christopher Lloyd and Crispin Glover, while using Michael J Fox’s rising popularity to turn out this film. Years later, he directed a similar film that used a historical events for plot development that were extremely well done.

One of the things that really makes both of these films work is the pace: fast enough, but consistent and easy to follow.

Sad and disturbing

While surfing around on Live Leak, I saw a clip of Anna Nicole Smith in her house, playing with her child while wearing clown make-up as her lover-lawyer films the events.

She is clearly out of it, with Stern talking about how much money this clip will be worth.

She certainly had her fair share of the spotlight and became a parody of herself in later years.  But I didn’t laugh as I watched this clip, I just felt sad.
