Last night we had some friends over for dinner and amid a lot of laughter and discussion, my buddy invited one of our guests to watch a Back To The Future marathon on October 21st. “Why that particular date?” I asked. Before he opened his mouth I knew the answer. In the second movie it's the date the DeLorean lands in the future and Marty has to save his son from making a bad decision. The conversation then led to how accurately it portrayed the future back when the movie was released in 1989.
