It's Back to the Future day!

This is the day, October 21st 2015, when Marty McFly arrived in the ‘future’ from 1985 in Back To The Future Part II. The world is celebrating, and so are we!

When Marty arrives in 2015, Jaws 19 is playing in theatres. They call it a ‘holographic’ film – while we don’t have hologram movies, we have made some incredible strides in 3D, which is pretty much the same thing. I figure they meant Avatar…only with killer sharks.

There are many conspiracy theories surrounding the Back to the Future trilogy. This one is Woody’s favourite.

Flying cars are not really a thing…yet…but they’re close!

Also not readily accessible…hoverboards. But then…

In certain parts of North America, and for a limited time, you can buy Pepsi Perfect. Which thankfully does not cost $50, as the movie predicted.

Remember those self-lacing shoes? Well…we kinda have those too.

A few other things the film got right…Skype, Google glasses, drones…(in the movie, drones are used to photograph Biff for the news, and to walk dogs)

A few things the movie got wrong…the dominance of fax machines, the idea that phone booths would still be useful, and (thankfully) Biff’s metal helmet.

Also incorrect (so far)? Biff’s almanac that predicts the Chicago Cubs will win their first World Series since 1908. That being said, as of today there is still a glimmer of hope for the Cubbies…
