I think the other Tron is a game?

I still want to see Princess & the Frog, and i'm seeing Alice in Wonderland tomorrow. Other then that, I can't think of anything atm... OH! Rapunzel That's not out until November, about a week or 2 before Harry Potter.

Y'know what I wonder about?
How, in BTTF, the 1985 camcorder can connect to the 1955 TV...

 

[AliceinHalloweentown]

So.
Unlimited scrolling on Tumblr saved me a ton of time.

The Bounty Hunter is an upcoming film directed by Andy Tennant, starring Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler. The film will be released in the United States on March 19, 2010. The film centers on a bounty hunter (Butler) hired to retrieve his ex-wife (Aniston), who has skipped bail.

So... Still sounds like a romcom to me. They'll probably end up together at the end of the movie.

Second thing mentioned under the Back to the Future section of It Just Bugs Me on TV Tropes.

•How does Marty take a 1985 camcorder and hook it up to a 1955 TV system? Even if Marty brought cables, I don't think that TVs of that era had any inputs (besides the antenna). The Doc doesn't look like a A/V expert. The only way he could do that if he took apart the TV and used a soldering iron. What gives?
◦According to the DVD, the filmmakers couldn't even make that work. They tried, but ultimately put a new television set inside a 1950s model and tinted the footage black and white.
◦Don't forget, Doc's a Mad Scientist. If he can make a time machine, he can get a camera to work on a TV set.
◦Actually, Marty is the one hooking up the camcorder in a deleted part of that scene. He even asks Doc for an adapter that hasn't been invented yet, and somehow still manages to get the TV working correctly with just the parts from the lab. And an earlier version of the screenplay had Marty as an A/V whiz of sorts, so maybe it's a hidden talent of Marty's that the filmmakers didn't really expand on in the films proper.
On the other hand, the scene might've been deleted because the filmmakers realized how hard it'd actually be and decided to let the audience assume he had Doc's offscreen help.
In the 70's my family would ask me for miracles like this. Since my grandma had an early 1970's VCR with RCA inputs we could pull it off easily but without that you would need some sort of RF converter (common now...) or a camcorder with RF output and/or a 75->300ohm adapter (pretty common adapter back then actually) and I only saw one camera like that, and that one in the mid 80's no less, the rest were RCA output. Of course none of this even applies if there is something about 1955 TV's different from 60's and 70's TV's I was asked to do this on.

Lol, see. Doesn't work. xD
I've always wondered that..
And I wonder how he's called Marty, too.
'Cause if his parents got the idea for his name from when he meets them in 1955, who came up with Marty in the first place?
Gah, time travel confuses me. xD

 

[marypops!]

Ontological paradox. One of my favourite paradoxes. Although they mainly involve physical objects.

A person recieves a the blueprints for a time machine from his future self. He makes the time machine, and goes back in time to give the blueprints for the time machine to his past self. Where do the blueprints come from, because there's no entry point for it. It just appears from nowhere. Something from nothing.

Yeah. Timetravel hurts my brain. xD
But what's more confusing is that by Marty going back to 1955, he messes up 1985 so it's different when he returns at the end of the film..
So if he had to go back to give himself the name Marty, how is 1985 not messed up at the start of the film?
xD

This makes me think of the Doctor trying to explain time to Sally Sparrow..

 

[I Am What I Am]

21 chapters to go.


I have 2 weeks, 46 chapters and about 500,000 words invested in this. I am NOT giving up.

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey... stuff.

I want to watch the episode of Doctor Who called Idiots Lantern. It's one of my favourites, and I don't know why...

 

[nerdylightbulb]
