    Crispin Glover’s face looks extra textured and the lighting doesn’t seem right. Is this AI?

      Also I feel like as a society we haven’t sufficiently discussed the fact that this dude’s name is Crispin.

      I think the lighting seems fine, and Crispin Glover’s face has always been… sort of jarring, to me anyway. There does seem to be something odd about his skin, though — it’s got that plastic-y nature that most AIs produce.

    There’s a sequel novel to the UK time-travel sitcom Goodnight Sweetheart on kickstarter, where all the future pop culture references that Gary Sparrow used to make start to catch up with him as he gets older.

    George would have some confusion about the “planet Vulcan” bit long before Star Wars, though.

      Vulcan was already the name suggested for a hypothetical planet closer to the sun than Mercury. One motivation for the hypothesis was an observed discrepancy in Mercury’s perihelion precession compared to Newtonian predictions using the known planets, but then general relativity perfectly predicted the discrepancy without requiring an extra planet.

    I imagine he made the same face at his wife when she gave birth to Marty and he grew up looking like Calvin Klein.

      What’s really the best part of this is that Marty isn’t even the oldest. So that would mean Calvin came back and she did it with him.

      In Back to the Future, Marty uses his father’s love of sci-fi books to scare him by pretending to be an alien called Darth Vader from the planet Vulcan. This meme shows the realisation later when the father watches Star Wars (the father is played by Crispin Glover)

        Last night, Darth Vader came down from planet Vulcan, and told me that if I didn’t take Lorraine out, that he’d melt my brain!

      Back To The Future, where Marty McFly calls himself Darth Vader in front of his terrified father, while pretending to be an alien.

          If you can’t quote every line from memory, clearly you need to watch the whole trilogy again.

            That is a fair argument.

          It was at least partially a deleted scene actually? I’m not sure anymore either… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaYADHcpdng

            The part that was actually in the released movie ends at 0:45. (You can also tell by the fact that the audio/video very obviously changes to daily footage at that point.)

            See also the scene afterward where George tells “Calvin” about the encounter, which IMO worked way better than actually showing the rest of it:

      This one took me a minute. The actor in the pic played Marty McFly’s dad in Back to the Future. There is a scene in the movie where Marty is trying to scare his young dad, and wakes him up wearing a hazmat suit with face covering, putting headphones over his ears to blast Van Halen and calling himself Darth Vader.

            And then there’s a follow-up scene the next day, where George tells “Calvin Klein” about the encounter.

            Having George retell it worked way better than showing it directly, IMO.

              Agreed, but without showing it, it would be extremely confusing to the audience. After watching the extended scene, it would have been really bad if they left that all in. Plus the scene is funny with the eddie van halen tape, and also uses the contents of Doc’s luggage with the hair dryer for another gag.
