- Scrappy1850, on 11/18/2008, -5/+68Great Scott!
- burch, on 11/18/2008, -0/+39Life imitates art.... http://www.yourprops.com/norm-47b0d5c6853c4-Back+T ...
- slapded, on 11/18/2008, -2/+39Oh... one other thing. If you guys ever have kids and one of them when he's eight years old accidentally sets fire to the living room rug... go easy on him.
- NeoCortex, on 11/18/2008, -2/+34As long as Einstein is OK, that's all that matters.
- inactive, on 11/18/2008, -0/+29There's that word again; "heavy". Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?
- shadowman99, on 11/18/2008, -0/+28Very true. May I have your computer?
- NeoCortex, on 11/18/2008, -0/+21You're not thinking 4th dimensionally.
- stonebear, on 11/18/2008, -5/+26Too bad he lost his house, and all his stuff. But now he's free of it, and I don't say that flippantly either.
- Scrappy1850, on 11/18/2008, -0/+18its the fire reference
- chrissku, on 11/18/2008, -1/+19Fortunately he can just hop in the Delorean and go back in time with Marty to prevent this fire from ever happening. Maybe if they have time they can swing by the Enchantment Under The Sea dance.
- venicerocco, on 11/18/2008, -1/+18NWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
- helmsb, on 11/18/2008, -0/+16This is heavy!
- Firespray1138, on 11/18/2008, -2/+18Very sad that he lost his home and all of the memorabilia he had collected during his career.
- btschul, on 11/18/2008, -4/+19Congratulations. You win the Most Predictable Comment of the Year award.
- barryiggins, on 11/18/2008, -1/+151.21 JIGGAWATTS!!!!!!!
- pinstripewizard, on 11/18/2008, -7/+21Where we're going, we don't need homeowner's insurance.
- btschul, on 11/18/2008, -2/+16He earned his multi-million dollar home.
- MeatMountain, on 11/18/2008, -3/+15The things you own end up owning you.
- psion01, on 11/18/2008, -1/+12Twenty-three?!
[falls back into seat with hand on brow]
God damn, I'm old. - Barackalypse, on 11/18/2008, -2/+12Hopefully everyone else that lost homes will follow his lead and not rebuild. There are plenty of places in the US that are virtually free of wildfires, earthquakes, mudslides, and hurricanes, we don't need to be building in high risk areas.
- badger500, on 11/18/2008, -0/+10Have you too "freed" yourself of your possessions, then?
- burch, on 11/18/2008, -2/+12Celebrity or not, rich or poor, it still sucks.
- DaveMN, on 11/18/2008, -1/+9Normally I'd agree with you, but Christopher Lloyd is the man.
- RudeTurnip, on 11/18/2008, -0/+8MMMARTY!
- chrissku, on 11/18/2008, -4/+12This is hilarious......(off subject, yet hilarious none the less)
Biff from Back To The Future
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iwY5o2fsG7Y - KibblesnBitts, on 11/18/2008, -0/+8no you're not, he was around in 2015 in Hillvalley, Einstein LIVES (or he will in 7 years)!
- Enasni1212, on 11/18/2008, -1/+8How could anyone talk about material possessions that way unless they're ready to burn down their own house? Give me a break.
- sockfire, on 11/18/2008, -0/+7Weight has nothing to do with it.
- ncc74656m, on 11/18/2008, -2/+9Poor guy. I hope that he doesn't get too down about it - he's safe, after all.
- roddack, on 11/18/2008, -2/+8This is heavy
- venicerocco, on 11/18/2008, -1/+7To be fair to him, I think he'd prefer to be called "Tom Wilson"
(Great vid tho) - RudeTurnip, on 11/18/2008, -1/+7omg...no. Just no.
- sirbeta, on 11/18/2008, -0/+6Ahahaha, wow. I totally forgot about that. And I call myself a Back to the Future fan.
On the topic at hand, it's a shame Lloyd lost all his memorabilia. Hopefully he didn't lose it all. - billizm, on 11/18/2008, -0/+6If you guys really feel that way, let me know if you need help becoming free.
- btschul, on 11/18/2008, -0/+5Christopher Lloyd's character steals some uranium from a group of lybian terrorists to power the time machine, and just before he powers it up, the libyans come screeching towards him in an old VW microbus firing a machine gun out of the sunroof and he yells "Oh, god! It's the libyans!"
- MeatMountain, on 11/18/2008, -2/+7THATS OVER 9000!!!!!
- GeorgeStone2, on 11/18/2008, -0/+5Gary Busey isn't an *****. He's awesomely braindamaged in a way that actually makes him better than he was.
- somesthetic, on 11/18/2008, -1/+6Doc probably had homeowners insurance, and all the schadenfreude player hating on him in these comments is really pathetic.
- MiDri, on 11/18/2008, -0/+5They killed him in the movie.
- TheMoniker, on 11/18/2008, -0/+5Marty McFly: [looks through a camcorder] This is uh... This is heavy duty, Doc. This is great. Uh, does it run, like, on regular unleaded gasoline?
Dr. Emmett Brown: Unfortunately no, it requires something with a little more kick - plutonium.
Marty McFly: Uh, plutonium? Wait a minute. Are-
[lowers the camcorder]
Marty McFly: Are you telling me that this sucker is nuclear?
Dr. Emmett Brown: Hey, hey, hey. Keep rolling. Keep rolling, there.
[Marty raises the camcorder]
Dr. Emmett Brown: No, no, no, no, no. This sucker's electrical. But I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity I need.
Marty McFly: Doc, you don't just walk into a store and-and buy plutonium. Did you rip that off?
Dr. Emmett Brown: Shhhhhh. Of course. From a group of Libyan nationalists. They wanted me to build them a bomb, so I took their plutonium and in turn, gave them a shiny bomb-casing full of used pinball machine parts! Come on! Let's get you a radiation suit. We must prepare to reload.
They get chased by the Libyans later on in the movie. - o0joshua0o, on 11/18/2008, -0/+5I recommend picking a different rich person to get your schadenfreude fix from. I've never seen any indication that Christopher Lloyd is your typical egotistical, self-involved Hollywood star.
- every2ndcounts, on 11/18/2008, -0/+4Does that just mean you're broke?
- lovek, on 11/18/2008, -1/+5I'm actually in the process of freeing myself. Got my house up for sale with the intent to buy one that's worth about 1/3 the current, furnishing it minimally with some of what I currently own, and selling off the rest.
Can't wait! - plainOldFool, on 11/18/2008, -1/+5This all could have been prevented had they actually made a hover board
- inactive, on 11/18/2008, -4/+8Those movies were between 23 and 18 years ago. Einy is long dead.
- spritom, on 11/18/2008, -1/+5I'm not seeing anything about him not having homeowners insurance. Regardless, I'm sure there was a lot of stuff that wasn't replaceable.
- JasonCox, on 11/18/2008, -1/+5Great Scott! My mind never clicked that it was *his* house that got burned down.
I guess next time Marty won't be going back in time so close to the tree line... - inactive, on 11/18/2008, -0/+4He will live for about 2 hours on Octorber 26th, 2015. But that's in his past, so it's already happened for him whether or not it has happened for US.
- schnikies79, on 11/18/2008, -1/+5I live in tornado alley and my house (including 5 barns) have been sitting just fine for 60 years. Along with everyone else I know.
Tornadoes don't hit your house every couple years and they sure aren't as widespread as a wildfire in the off-chance that one does it.
I'll stick to the midwest, thanks. -
