Read the first page. Definitely liking this. BTW, Back to the Future is the third best film ever made, after Taxi Driver and Twelve Angry Men. posted by howfar at 4:46 AM on February 25, 2012
Damn, this is fantastic. Don't mind me, I'll be listening to some stereo rock music on my tiny but powerful Walkman stashed in a book while catching up with this. posted by SpiffyRob at 5:45 AM on February 25, 2012
Fun read. Is there an age over which the site navigation does not make sense? It seems confusing and non-linear. I don't want to have to ask my kids to read it to me. posted by cgk at 6:40 AM on February 25, 2012 [2 favorites]
this is awesome. posted by subbes at 6:45 AM on February 25, 2012

One of the worst things about the internet is things I'm interested in made impossible to enjoy or follow by a shit interface. posted by fuq at 8:40 AM on February 25, 2012
This was the only movie novelization I read as a kid and I LOVED IT. It was the book that pointed out to me the Twin Pines/Lone Pine Mall difference, hadn't noticed it in the film before that.
I love this review project, but yeah, holy crappy presentation. posted by LooseFilter at 8:42 AM on February 25, 2012

I love how Doc Brown is turned into a low-budget version of Walter from Fringe in the tie-in. posted by PhoBWanKenobi at 8:51 AM on February 25, 2012
I love that he not only linked to the most horrifically-written fan fic of all time, but also did a dramatic reading and posted it with a MJF action figure background. Awesome. But I still feel like I missed a post because of that interface. posted by Huck500 at 8:56 AM on February 25, 2012

Guys, tumblr isn't that hard to figure out. posted by mokin at 11:10 AM on February 25, 2012 [1 favorite]
Maybe a link to the site instead of the archive will help? posted by mokin at 11:14 AM on February 25, 2012
I don't know. I'm eighteen and I feel that interface is badly designed, mainly because the older posts happen to go right to left, which for non-arabic speakers becomes rather unintuitive.
Maybe I'm old by internet time. posted by solarion at 2:39 PM on February 25, 2012
It's not fair that Ryan North gets so much of the world's share of hilarity. This is far funnier than I thought it possibly could be.
I need to become an official Ryan North fangirl. What's the word for that? Northhead? Northbot? T-Rexes? posted by meese at 5:50 PM on February 25, 2012
I rolled my eyes when I saw this post said to myself, "Ugh. Why would I want to read ... by Ryan North?!" CLICK! posted by straight at 6:45 PM on February 25, 2012
I read the hebrew translation of this novelization as a kid, and I had read it before watching the movies (I had distant memory echoes of watching Back to the Future 2 when I was 3). I found the movie didn't live up to the novelization!
The sequels are pretty amusing, too. posted by anateus at 1:22 AM on February 26, 2012
