He probably gets tired of people seeing him on the street and yelling "Hey, butthead!" If he doesn't want to participate in the Blu-Ray or its festivities, that sucks, but whatever. Not signing a DVD, though, that's kind of lame.

Tom Wilson was at our station a while back and one of my co-workers brought in a copy of Back to the future on DVD for him to sign. He refused saying he didn't autograph anything like that. I'm not sure if he just didn't like signing merchandise or if he didn't want to have anything to do with BTTF. I kind of got a feeling it was a mix of both. But he was a really nice guy. He let us take pictures with him, and he did roll with the BTTF references during the interview (though in hindsight I believe he wasn't happy about it as he wanted to focus on his stand-up show he was promoting).
As for the others. As you said, Crispin Glover is pretty obvious, but I'm not sure about Elisabeth Shue. I think she did get the short-end of the deal, especially since Mary Steenburgen is always in it. Granted, her part was probably bigger than Elisabeth Shue's since she didn't really do much and she was taking the place of Claudia Wells from the first movie. Thats strange cause he does several autograph shows a year, and ive seen him at several premieres and events hosted at work ,and he always signs BTTF stuff for fans from DVDS to posters and pics. I got him on my original Back to the future one sheet, (not to mention Michael J fox, Chris Lloyd, Claudia Wells,Crispin Glover, Lea Thompson, James Tolkan,Marc McClure and Billy Zane) he always really friendly perhaps for what ever reason he just wasnt in the mood that particular day to sign. Talent can be like that sometimes, most of the time willing to sign but once in a blue moon it just isnt a time they want to do so. |

I've seen Tom Savini go from charging $20 for an autograph (several years back) to signing anything you brought, so long as you bought something (even something small, like a $3 item; this was 4 or 5 years ago), all the way back to not signing ANYTHING for less than $20 (currently). Then again, maybe Biff's just fucking moody. He seem like one morose motherfucker if you ask me. And he is usually more than happy to even though he isnt getting anything but the fans appreciation. Last time i saw him was like a month and a half ago, and he signed for quite a few people. |
Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
So...anybody care to actually comment on the films - picture quality, audio quality, etc.? I think I've heard enough about the cases and Wilson. ;)

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
Sorry to beat a dead horse, but this is some of the dumbest, shittiest packaging I've ever seen. Yes, I know you're supposed to push in towards the springs, but what's wrong with a hub? And I know those springs are going to break. Movie looks great, though.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
Superman07, I'm also starting to think that nobody's actually watching the movies either.
Or if they are they're not wanting to answer the question I asked... oh well. I'll keep looking elsewhere before I spend $50 I don't have to spare right now. |

:lol: You sure can see MJF wearing makeup while watching BTTF 1 in HD
15 minutes in I rate the PQ 5/5 the grain and detail are all there the shots inside the McFly house look a little darker but that's expected due to poorer lighting AQ is good too mostly in the center speaker but no distortion |

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
Thinking about ordering the UK tin, but I've never ordered from Amazon UK before. When I go to checkout the price drops from 42 to 35 in my cart. Is that normal? Will they show how much will be taken off my credit card before it ships (converted to US currency)?
|
Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
Just so I'm clear, the UK LE set is all region-free, right? Extra and all? I'm planning to order it but I want to be 100% sure.

Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
More fuel for the fire for the people bitching about packaging:
I decided to open my copy today, and while it was a straightforward process to get the disc out and back in, I did notice one of the little plastic holders already had broken off. That's probably the work of UPS, but I am going to have Amazon send me another one regardless. They are flimsy, I'll give you that. But I like the design. |
Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
I ordered the UK tin and got a shipping notice 5 hours later! :banana:
Then I saw the estimated delivery date... November 17. :sad: Oh well. It's worth the wait not to have the shitty US release. And apparently the Australian "DeLorean Packaging" was so shitty it got cancelled, so it looks like the UK set is the way to go. |
Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
Whether or not you consider it smoothed out, there was plenty of detail.

And Amazon will ask you if you want the charge converted to dollars for billing purposes. I bought the set on Amazon UK and it is currently in transit to my door. :banana: |
Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
That sucks about the delay in getting the tin. The basic UK release shipped for me in 24 hours, but I definitely understand why one would prefer the tin.
Funny unboxing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti8rxhs2g7c& But the guy is totally right. |
Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
That youtube clip was hilarious once the guy starts complaining. I loved the part where he's asking why have 2 slots in each side after mentioning that when the DC is used, it's basically a useless disc.
|
Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
:lol: That video was hilarious.
I still haven't gotten my copy of the trilogy yet from Amazon UK. It shipped out on the 23rd but the site says the estimated delivery is November 15th. Hopefully it doesn't actually take that long :(. |
Re: "Back To The Future" on Blu! (10-26-2010)
I just opened my set. This is definitely the worst/cheapest packaging design I've encountered. I can see that most people are going to have more problems getting the disc back in.
However, the easiest way to remove/insert the discs are just using your index finger and then pulling down with it. It takes a few times to get it right, but the discs are fairly easy to remove once you get that motion down. It's a bit tougher getting the disc back in because you have to make sure the disc is far enough back in the case that it misses those little side clips. This method uses the least amount of stress on the case and may help the bottom hinges survive long term. |
