    • Quotes

      Bob Gale: When Bob Zemekis and I first wrote "Back to the Future", the time machine was a refrigerator, and Bob Zemekis, the director, said, "Wouldn't it be simpler if Doc actually built the time machine into a car?" And then he says, "And what if he car was a DeLorean?" It wasn't my idea but I know a damn good idea when I hear one. This was a damn good idea. So I said, yeah that's great.

    What were they thinking?!

    Baldwin's make-up, particularly those horrendous eyebrows, is so badly done that I can't take pay attention to anything else during the reenactment scenes. Those eyebrows are halfway up his forehead! The real Delorean has quite low eyebrows. Baldwin looks like a freak. His make-up artist should, obviously, be shot. I just cannot comprehend how this was ok'd all the way up the line.
