And why did the Back to the Future clock use IV instead of the more common IIII in Roman numeral clocks?
Huh? I have never seen IIII ... on anything involving Roman numerals. Because it's wrong.
PS...the real flaw in Back To The Future....the inexcusable one, the one that as a musician sets my teeth on edge....
Johnny B Goode is in B flat, NOT B
Now Jim, we've talked about this....
How well are you really going to remember someone you knew for a week 30 years prior?
That girl you met at the Jersey Shore as a sophomore in high school and spent the week holding hands with on the Boardwalk....could you pick her out of a lineup 30 years later?
Since that anecdote is actually a personal one, I can admit...probably not.
You remember what your high school friends look like because you spent years with them. But think about a kid you met at summer camp for 2 weeks....do you really remember exactly what he looks like or do you just have vague memories and could you honestly say 30 years later that someone looks EXACTLY like that person?
Now the REAL flaw in back to the Future is that the clock tower is NOT digital. There was no way of knowing lightning struck at 10:04:00....could have been 10:04:15 or 10:04:32 or 10:04:59
That and Doc calculated exactly when Marty had to start driving, when the alarm goes off. That hook is only going to make contact with that line for a split second. The margin of error there is so slim. Yet the car stalls and then won’t start. It takes what, between five and ten seconds before Marty gets the car started and then hits the pedal. Was there really that much margin of error in the calculations Doc did?
BTTF is my favorite movie of all time but like most movies you have to suspend your disbelief or else it’s not enjoyable.
That's an atrocity. It cannot stand. I'm making it my life's work to find all these rogue IIIIs and fix them. Buy stock in wite-out and sharpies.
