Back to Back to the Future: A Tale of Two Martys. Most of you know of my Bill Murray fetish (sadomurrochism), but you may not know about my Back to the Future obsession. I spend way too much time thinking about Back to the Future paradoxes and working on my BTTF fan fiction (about the misadventures of Einstein the dog and the pine tree Marty ran over).

Despite its lack of trade, you are entirely provided for. The kitchens and the pantries are stocked with food. But you want to know about room 237. And room 237 is only the start of trouble at the Overlook Hotel in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. Some might say that the mystery begins and ends with the question of why this shameless mock-horror film should be taken seriously.

Was this the regrettable start of Nicholson’s acting with his eyebrows? That only opens up the question as to what Kubrick had done. Warner Bros.

Dark Side of Oz [Setup] [Similarities with Pictures] [Similarities] [Conclusion] [Pink Floyd Lyrics] I've done this experiment quite a few times, and I'll have to admit that there are a lot of coincidental events and themes.

Although Pink Floyd has never admitted to doing such a thing (except Roger, who stays quiet when asked), there are just a few points that should be examined. I guess you'll just have to come to your own conclusion.
