Eh, it’s all relevant; my wife barely remembers 10 years ago, and I can remember a hot girl that rode the same bus as me every morning for a month 15 years ago...her ass was incredible, and she always wore...anyway, point is we remember things differently; while my wife might not remember a boy she had a crush on that…

I mean, if we’re poking holes in Back to the Future, there are plenty to play with. Like, what the hell are the (newly successful) adult Dave and Linda doing eating breakfast at their parents’ house on a Saturday morning, when their parents are off playing tennis? What the hell job does Dave have where he’s wearing a…

I am sure that they remember him, but remembering someone’s face from nearly two decades ago is way harder than you think (memory just does not work like that). Even if they spent tons of time with him, they could both have face blindness or a some mixture of other completely plausible conditions/explanations that…

I swear to god, I absolutely loath “plot holes as criticism” argument because it’s so fucking lazy. At some point, you have to reconcile the fact that movies are not representation of real life, and that screenwriters need to wring as much entertainment as possible while also sticking to some inherent logic.

If you can…

I think it’s weird that “Marty comes downstairs for breakfast and his parents don’t immediately mention Calvin Klein during their two moments of screen time” is considered “forgetting Calvin Klein” or “never mentioning Marty looks like Calvin Klein.” For all we know, Calvin Klein is the only thing they talk about,…

Burns still sees Homer every day. George and Lorraine haven’t seen Calvin Marty Klein for 30 years and they knew him very briefly. It’s not the same at all.

If you actually perform the exercise Bob Gale suggests, you’ll realize it’s not at all far-fetched that faces from that far back in your life fade and shift.

In addition to the fact that their acquaintance with “Calvin” was very brief (if significant) and enough years ago that their memory of his features would likely have grown fuzzy, they have more importantly raised their son Marty from birth. They have watched him slowly grow into this physical appearance from an…

Memory is tricky, and projecting images of people through time is really tricky.

And it’s not like when Marty was born he popped out looking just like Marty. If you have kids older than 5 or 6 and going by memory try to recall exactly what they looked like for a week of their first or second year with no visual reminders. It’s pretty much impossible. It’s like going back threw old pictures of…

The way I rationalize it is that even if they do think that Marty looks like Calvin, it would just be a passing thought of “hey that’s weird” and not “the only explanation is our son is a time traveler!” I don’t think it would affect the movie in any significant way.  

Quick, relevant question: how old are you?

Well, the original parents never met Marty, and do we have more than a minute with the upgraded parents? Perhaps they have had a few conversations with themselves and Marty about his uncanny resemblance. However, Marty wouldn’t ‘remember’ those conversations anyway (which is the freakiest aspect), and they’ve…

Lil Stonk just recently got his feet under him and so naturally all he wants to do these days is cut up the dance floor - the podcast Spare the Rock, Spoil the Child is full of excellent songs for kids to dance to while having great content for parents too

My nearly 8 year old really likes an Australian production, “Short & Curly”

Ethics problems for kids with plenty of stop points for discussions. It is actually not bad. It is interesting to hear my child work out the ethical issues and her justifications/rationales.

She also likes “Brains On!” More of a science based…

Just get her a vibe. She’ll forget all about it.

No, not much aero benefit but the mid-hatch spoiler makes an excellent parking lot beer shelf.

If one wasn’t enough, you could get two on the Pontiac Vibe - one of them right in the middle of the hatch, which can’t possibly do much aerodynamically.

This article and the comments are why I send way too much time on jalopnik

I’ll believe it when I see it on a 4-square with 96 month financing at the Hyundai dealer. Until then, I'm not convinced.
