If you guessed Back to the Future, well done. That is what I asked Copilot to produce for today's blog post. It was unable to create any copyrighted images from the movie franchise, so I thought a little out of the box and requested something like this.
Anyway, that's what it came up with.
There's a reason why I wanted to write about Back to the Future today. For this is the fortieth anniversary of my dad and I going to the cinema to watch it.
It's easy to pinpoint the exact date I saw the film because it was a day following the Challenger explosion I wrote about yesterday.
I remember sitting on the bus, with my mum and sister, as we travelled into the city centre to meet my dad. Someone had left a newspaper on the seat I took, so I picked it up and recall the photograph of the disaster splashed across the cover. It's the first newspaper front page I can recall ever taking an interest in. It was the first of many!
I was so deep into the Back to the Future stuff back then. I owned the Panini sticker album, collected empty packets of crisps to send away for a plastic board game (ha!) and I don't know for sure if I am imagining this or not, but I have a feeling I also collected little books of it from inside a breakfast cereal. I know I had books for The A-Team, but my subconscious is shouting out to me telling me I also had similar books for Back to the Future.
It was a treat to go see that film. I made sure to catch its two sequels at the cinema when they came out years later as well.
Hollywood should leave this one alone. It does not need a reboot or reimagining in any way whatsoever. It's perfect.
