Long Live Back to the Future!

All right, I wasn’t going to say anything, but this has become too strange to ignore.

There seem to be an unprecedented number of Back to the Future fans on the internet. Back on November 5, I posted about BTTF because that day happens to be the red-letter date in those movies. Since then, that post has been inundated by web-searches. Over 90% of all web searches that lead people to this blog are related to Back to the Future, such as “Marty McFly,” “Doc,” “Delorean,” “2015 clothing,” “flying car,” “Biff,” “clocktower,” ect… The number of views on that one post have exceeded the views on all other posts combined!

Frankly, I’m shocked! I’ve met a few people who really love the trilogy, but I thought the enthusiasm for the movies was restricted either to the few who grew up on the movies, or to those who really love 80’s movies. Either that perception is wrong, or there are many, many people out there who fall into those two enthusiastic groups.

At any rate, long live Back to the Future! (If you classify yourself as an especially ardent fan of BTTF, you should check out it’s web home: BTTF.com. Enjoy.)
