I realised afterwards, sorry about that. I've added the link.

 Thank you.

I read the article, and it reinforced what I already knew from old interviews. Crispin Glover is a pretentious character actor who fancies himself quite the thespian, and who seems to have missed the point about "Back To The Future".

He says he hasn't seen it once since it first came out, he should. Although with his pre-conceived notions it might be hard to change his mind.

The ultimate goal is not money, nor does the movie ever teach "more money = happy life". The movie portrays a character, George McFly, who's bullied and has no self confidence. He likes to write science fiction, but due to a lack of confidence he will forever keep his stories in a drawer and chalk them up to "silly dreams", thus later in life settling for an office job, and ending up working for his bully.

Calvin Klein gave him the confidence to stand up for himself, end the bullying, and become a better person. George McFly becomes a writer, and publishes his first novel. He's happier, but not because of the money, he made money because he's a happier person than he was when he was bullied.

If you're forever miserable that reflects on your economic condition. Why do you think homeless people are homeless? Many of them deal with mental illness, but a good number of them, say, lose their job and they can't deal with it. Their life shatters, family members leave them.

I just don't think you can dismiss "Back To The Future" as a materialistic movie, or whatever you wanna call it.

JEDIT SilverWook is always faster! Maybe if I go back in time and post 10 minutes earlier... Hmm. BRB need some plutonium.
