'Back to the Future Part II': science fiction vs. reality
If you came of age in the late '80s, there's a good chance that Back to the Future Part II was a formative film that helped inform your idea of what society might look like in the not-too-distant future. BTTF creators Bob Gale and Robert Zemeckis certainly weren't trying to predict the future as much as they were trying to build a world that worked with their story. And in fact, the entire trilogy features less than 40 minutes of time in 2015. But that doesn't mean this limited glimpse at the future wasn't thrilling and hilarious to moviegoers in 1989. Now, it's just fun to look back and see what, if anything, they got right -- particularly today, the day that Marty and Dr. Emmett L. Brown traveled forward in time to. We can now finally judge how the fictional world of Hill Valley in 2015 matches up with reality.
The new 'Back to the Future' vinyl box set is a work of art
The so-called "future day" -- the day that Marty McFly and Doc Brown travel forward in time to in Back to the Future Part II -- is fast approaching. As such, the movie and music memorabilia masters at Mondo have put together a truly fitting record collection: The score for all three Back to the Future films will be available in full on vinyl for the first time. You can either pick up each movie individually as a two-record set for $35 each, or you can get all six records in an amazingly creative and beautiful box set. The full box set will run you $105. The individual album versions feature new artwork by Matt Taylor, who previously created screen-print Back to the Future posters for Mondo, while the box set artwork and design was done by DKNG Studios.
