There were only about 20 people for the first one at 4:30pm, then about 40 people for the 2nd one at 7pm.

 

Even the ticket lady at 4pm said to us, "Hey, someone actually showed up for that movie!"  :rofl:

You may remember that approximately 4 1/2 years ago, ShowBizPizza.com burned down. When reviewing our security footage, we realized it was all because of those crazy Back to the Future guys. So in honor of Back to the Future Day, enjoy the fun once more and check out the exclusive video footage!http://bit.ly/1W3zUXb

Pretty cool moment on Jimmy Kimmel last night:

 

 

I'll be honest, after seeing both Christopher Lloyd (Now 77) in this feature and Harrision Ford (Now 73) in the Star Wars trailer, I'm realizing more and more how many actors of my childhood movies are entering the twilight of their life, especially for Lloyd.  It was hard for me to tell if Lloyd was just acting crazy or if he was having trouble remember his lines in the Kimmel skit.

I'm with you. It was kind of depressing but I still thought it was great. If I had to guess, I would say he was not trying to act crazy.

Since we are on the subject here, I found this article and short video where Back To The Future icons Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox reunite to talk about the things that the movie got right and wrong.
