If I failed to convey this previously, then I now plainly state that GMOs are most likely safe to consume, but it bothers me philosophically, in a way that previous advances in agriculture haven't. Vaccination, dentistry, electrical engineering, have all improved the human experience without fundamentally changing…

I know. Admittedly, I hadn't visited in many, many years, but back at the end of the 90's, it was an invaluable resource for the fans. Now it redirects to backtothefuture.com, which has very little non-publicity-related material. Here's hoping there's an archive!

One season of BM:US will have 2-4 times as many episodes as the entire BBC run. There is going to be a huge dip in quality when they run out of original episodes to adapt. But thank goodness we Yanks can finally watch without wondering what a "Loo" or a "Prime Minister" are.

I personally think it's a significant leap from selective breeding to writing it's genetic code outright. I'm not saying GMO foods (apologies for the typo) are unsafe to consume, but it moves us away from the natural world in a way I myself am uncomfortable with. It's a choice I believe I should be able to make for…

If a poll asked me if I thought GMA food was safe, I would probably answer no. Not because I think it's necessarily unsafe, but because I wouldn't want my answer to be perceived by Big Food as approval for what I consider to be a perversion of nature.

Here's a place you can read the Zemeckis/Gale FAQ I mentioned:

Now, here's the paradox I haven't been able to resolve. In the Biff's Pleasure Palace version of 1985, we learn that Doc has been committed to an insane asylum in 1983 (two years before he finishes building the time machine) and Marty is supposed to be in a Swiss boarding school. Obviously this version of the two…

The Back to the Future movies are among my all time favorite movies, and I've spent decades obsessing over the details and the timeline (it keeps getting rewritten, but there is only one timeline in BTTF's version of time travel). I will try my best here.

Note to interested parties: Make sure you search "Bear City SNL". Seaching "Bear City" alone shows you a lot more of a different kind of bear.

This is how it begins...

Yes. Very yes.

Lady Walter Peck?

No one who drinks Yuengling can be all bad.

Look, there is no timeline, and trying to parse one out is just staring at clouds. Nintendo doesn't really do timelines; they make games. They don't seem to approach their series' thinking "so Mario/Link/Samus has defeated Koopa/Ganon/the Space Pirates and saved the princess/princess/galaxy. What happens next, and…

Not joking, that was a "sight gag" in the late-80's/90's Jetsons movie. That whenever the smog levels reach their homes to offend their sensitive eyes and noses, there's a button they can push to raise their house up to cleaner air.

I'm charmed that this appears to be set in 1998, like the game.

As someone who's lived most of their life about an hour away from the Jersey boardwalks (and a few years in Wildwood), I know you speak truth. However, it saddens me how much floorspace of the arcades in Wildwood, Ocean City, and AC has become dominated by "premium" crane games and the like, which tempt rubes with…

Like with popular music, we've reached the point where any games released 20 or more years ago are just considered the "oldies," and only historians and the people who were there can remember or care about their specific place and time. NES, SNES, Genesis, Atari... it's all 8-bit, right?

I'm fascinated with the relationship between Batman and Superman, but always preferred Batman to Superman as a character. I found that an unpowered human being who is able to use his/her wits to overcome foes that outmatch him/her to be inherently more dramatic than an overpowered superhero who can use brute strength…

I'd love for someone to take this ad-for-an-ad thing to it's natural conclusion:
