It Must Be ‘Back to the Future’ Day [Great Scott!]

FIRST…

SCI FI Wire has re-produced five famous sci-fi movie quotes in my favorite data representation format: the infographic.

My favorite? “Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need…roads.”

Hit up the link for more, including quotes from The Matrix and Ghost Busters.

SECOND…

I can’t think of anything better to say about this, so I’ll directly quote The Best Article Every Day:

The ‘Back To The Future’ Mind F*ck, 25 Years Later

That’s right, Back to the Future just blew your mind 25 years later. Anyone who says they’ve noticed this before is a liar.

Seriously…DID anyone notice this before?

You can’t help but feel bad for the people who thoughtfully included this detail, because I’m sure that more than 99% of the population completely missed it.

    Hubs LOVES that movie, I just showed him the chart and the Mall signs. BTW the malls signs – I had no clue, but that is awesome. Love the clever touches :)

    I live close to this mall. THAT blew my mind.

    I was basically raised watching this movie every time we caught it on TV. I am proud to say that I did notice the mall’s name change! And I’m sure that qualifies me for some sort of nerd-dom…..

    "Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need…roads."

    Jenny…. this is one of my favorite movies of all time and I have seen it so many times over the years. One movie that I can watch over & over again. Yeah there is a lot of neat little details like that in the movie. I love it! I do have to say that it took me some years before I started noticing them though like the Twin Pines Mall sign.

    Anyway, I found your site after seeing you on Squaregirl’s (Krystyn Heide) Twitter Page. Cool site! I’ll have to revisit when I can and read more. I love Squarespace and have been very happy with them. :)

    Maybe it is just because I have seen this eleventy bajillion times, but I noticed the Lone pine mall a long time ago. These movies are full of great little details like that, making them totally rewatchable. Love them so much.
