A lot of times people's appreciation for old movies is driven by nostalgia (*cough* Princess Bride *cough*) but the Back to the future movies are genuinely great. My brother watched them for the first time this year and he loved them.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
