Fashion Tips From Marty McFly

Hey there! Do you ever just stare blankly into your closet, completely baffled as to what to wear?? Well, your worries are over. Um, sort of. Here are some outfit ideas courtesy of our favorite Future Boy. 

• Feeling super casual? Try a classic plain t-shirt.

• Want to dress it up a bit? DO NOT CHANGE OUT OF THE PLAIN T-SHIRT. Simply put a button up over it. Add suspenders to make sure this wonderful look stays securely on your body. 

• “But wait, my arms are too exposed and also I feel like I am just not wearing Enough Clothes yet.” Yes, yes, I know. Try a jean jacket. It adds not only another physical layer, but a layer of mystery as well. The rest of the outfit kind of says nerd, but the jacket says “HEY I AM COOL MAYBE, OKAY? LEAVE ME ALONE.” Go to the local Burger King & show off your outfit you denim-covered enigma. 

• Are you somehow still not satisfied with your level of insulation? Do you just really like to wear as many things at once as possible? Consider a puffy vest. No, don’t be scared. It’s a fantastic look, especially if you are fond of heat-stroke.

NOTE: These various combinations are great for wearing over & over, for a questionable amount of time. Seriously, just sleep in them and then keep them on again the following day. Do not worry if your family questions you, they just don’t understand. Also, if your scientist friend makes you wear other clothes for a while do not panic because eventually he might hand you a wad of cash and let you run loose into the freedom of the rising sun, in which you can wear this super practical outfit that is very good for being sneaky in.

Sometimes I think about the fact that Marty has a gun pointed at him 8 times (and is actually shot at 6 of those times) over the span of 16 days.

Like. Doc, please get your boy into some type of futuristic therapy for traumatized time-travelers, this is ridiculous.

Yo I know we all love Back to the Future because it’s fun and enjoyable but I don’t think we acknowledge what an actual nightmare the whole experience was for Marty.

Can you imagine the FUCKING STRESS? Marty comes off as kinda dorky and goofy, maybe a little awkward and overall has a very likeable persona so the psychological aspect of his journey is overshadowed by the sheer excitement and unpredictability of it.

But imagine if his genuine anxiety and agitation were depicted realistically. Over the span of one night his whole life has become a mess, his existence alone is being threatened. Doesn’t sound too fun, does it?

All I’m saying is, Marty kicked ass. He managed to survive and find a way out of the whole disaster. (Doc was there, too, of course!) We should definitely give him more credit. I imagine if I were in his shoes I’d probably freak out and die in a wrong time and leave my descendants very confused.

Just food for thought. If BTTF had portrayed Marty’s distress accurately it would’ve been SO FUCKING DARK AND DEPRESSING DUDE

The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976)

“You got any pets?”

“Nope, just my parents, which I water and feed regularly.”

Plot twist: she doesn’t.

Since Family Ties and Who Framed Roger Rabbit canonically exist in the BTTF universe, you ever think Doc and Marty have ever been told they look like Christopher Lloyd or Michael J Fox?

[oldies-enthusiast]

The most underrated actor I swear

[oldies-enthusiast]

if michael j fox doesn’t label his sock drawer with ‘michael j socks’ then he is wasting a good opportunity

Badlands (1973) SPOILER-FREE

So I was browsing Tumblr and saw a post that said something about Martin Sheen’s Badlands (1973) being a perfect pick for The Outsiders (1983) fans. Being the bitch I am (and an absolute sucker for the whole Sheen/Estevez family) it goes without saying I totally had to see it.

Now the funny thing about this movie is that it was actually the first appearance of Sheen’s children, namely Emilio and Charlie (or Carlos) on screen, ever. It’s a very short scene where you see two boys under a streetlamp, but to me it was mind-blowing to look at Martin Sheen in some Greaser-like outfit and think God, he’d already had at least two kids at that point!!!

The picture above shows a very cute scene in which Martin & Sissy are dancing. (If anything, you should definitely watch the movie because of this particular scene. It’s an absolute fucking work of art.)

Looking at Martin Sheen is just... so... funny to me. If I keep watching closely, I can see both Emilio and Charlie in him (depending on the angle and lighting, clothes and hairstyle...). The way he drawls sounds exactly like Emilio in The War at Home (1996), but the hair and double denim plus white T-Shirt give off immense Charlie vibes, specifically the likes of The Boys Next Door (1985).

I get why people sense the familiar S. E. Hinton energy, but I can’t shake off the feeling that Badlands reminded me SO MUCH of The End of the Fucking World (2017-2019), I’d say probably because of the similar premises and the deadpan dialogue. The movie is also extremely random to the point where numerous deaths start to seem hilarious. The utmost irony of it made me think of Heathers (1988), so I guess you should check it out if any of the afore mentioned titles make you go all excited and heart-eyed.

All in all, here’s a few reasons to watch Badlands:

Martin Sheen & his Southern drawl

BIG cowboy attitude

randomness

nice landscapes

sarcasm

Lucas (1986)

Please bear with me as I try to get over this insanely beautiful movie...

But seriously... if you haven’t seen it, go and watch it. Words cannot describe how utterly gorgeous this movie is.
