    Oh yeah people are allowed to love it and others are allowed to hate it. My comment should have been blue text I thought the ridiculousness of judging anyone on if they liked a 35 year old movie was ridiculous enough a concept :)

    This post inspired me to watch his bit and... I don't see the issue. It's funny, don't get me wrong, but also has really very little to do with the film.
    He really has just three jokes:
    1) Marty and Doc being friends. Yes, it is odd. How Marty and Doc became friends is completely irrelevant to the film and doesn't need to be addressed. Have a healthy imagination and I'm sure you could come up with something.
    2) Marty tries to "get with" his mom. Well, no. His mom is attracted to him (not knowing the whole), and that creates awkwardness and tension because both Marty and the audience understand the awkwardness of the situation.
    3) The title of the film, which I think is self explanatory once you know the plot of the film. It is also works better from a marketing standpoint because the ironic twist on the phrase sticks out - Back to the Past makes some intuitive sense. We've been in the past before. Back to the Future seems to be a contradiction which triggers curiosity from the audience. It just has a better hook.

    I remember watching that clip a while back and thinking to myself "did this guy even see the movie?" (I've never been a fan of Mulaney and that bit solidified my dislike of his comedy). Despite Back to the Future being my favorite movie, I totally get why people wouldn't like it and respect their opinions.

    I don't care about people not liking it, but I can't see Mulaney's points being legit reasons to dislike it (and they're jokes - I doubt he was trying to convince anyone it was a bad movie).

    Super Megatron ships 12/1 and God Neptune 12/3 supposedly at this point.

    Once I have Super Megatron and God Neptune in my hands I will resume the impulse-of-buying-of-stuff. :p

    I am looking to get Super Megs. May go TF Source to get free shipping on my Stack, but I'd rather do Pulse as it is $10 cheaper. With luck more will come in stock this week.

    I've been debating cancelling my Super Megatron preorder for a while now. On the one hand, he looks really good but on the other hand I don't really feel the need to own it. I'm conflicted.

    Bold of you to assume that I know any Prime members.
