I must however say that seeing it again is pretty painful. I suppose the standard has risen, just a bit.

Crispin Glover wanted more money and made more demands than the producers of BTTF could give him...also his appearance on David Letterman's original LATE NIGHT show (NBC) in '85 pretty much cooked his goose, IMHO. I watched the show that night and couldn't believe what I saw when Crispin Glover looked like he was going to assault Dave with karate moves. Anyway, Crispin Glover was replaced in both BTTF2 and BTTF3 by Jeffrey Weissmann, though there were scenes when the original movie footage was used, and Crispin Glover was in those. I think the producers did a pretty good match-'em-up job for George McFly and I believe Elizabeth Shue did a marvelous performance under the circumstances as well, but I wish Claudia Wells had still played the part and the producers could have shot around her until she was able to return. Claudia was nowhere mentioned on the BTTF DVD compilation, and I wondered whatever happened to her, and the reason why she left. A mystery solved. Yes, they did.

In “A Christmas Story” when they go to get in line to see santa and Ralphie and Randy go right to the bottom of the stairs, and the guy says,

Did they have someone else playing the father in the last movie? I think Crispen Glover’s character changed somewhere along the way, too.

Also, I work for Zanies (Comedy Club) in Chicago, and we just had Tom Wilson (aka Biff) for our New Years show.. Nicest guy ever! He was so nice, I was stunned. Sorta used to people that had a moderate amount of success being dicks, so he was a refreshing change. Anyway, this one made me laugh out loud Kev. How are those non-work pants, working for ya now?
