Yeah but most of the stuff from those movies was pretty damn stupid in hindsight, what we have is way cooler.

It's just because things progress gradually, so we don't really notice. If you jumped from 1950 to today you'd be blown away by all the technology and scientific advances.

Still, I think we should attempt to start a group to try and achieve the future of Back to the Future 2. We will donate money to Mattel so they can work on a hoverboard, and we'll all wear double ties and our pants pockets inside out.

Also I want that cheesegrater hat elijah wood wore.

Back to the Future said we'd have flying cars by 2015. There's still room for a breakthrough.

I like how they put up the little screen, like somebody died or something.

Thins along with all of the Anime talk on the forums makes me want to watch EVA again.
