IT WAS NOT HIS DENSITY: As part of the 25th anniversary BluRay release of the Back to the Future trilogy, the public finally gets to see footage of Eric Stoltz as Marty McFly.
[For those who don't know: they actually shot for a month with Stoltz as the lead before deciding that he just didn't provide the right comic touch; also fired as a result was Melora Hardin (The Office's Jan Levinson-Gould), who was to play Jennifer but was too tall to be cast opposite Michael J. Fox.]
Incidentally, I did let Lucy watch BttF about a month ago and she loved it, though the language is a little strong at times (even on basic cable, you get "son of a bitch" and "goddamn" a few times). We stumbled across BttF2 a few weeks later and that ... yeah, that plot's a little hard for a seven-year-old to follow. Now he has to undo everything he screwed up in the future, and then he has to make sure the past happens the way it did the last time he went back ....
