The Back to the Future series not only had a lasting impact on popular culture but it also made a significant change in regards to screen actors’ rights. Find out the whole story after the break, and why you might not have realized that George McFly was played by two actors.

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that the Russo brothers will direct Infinity Wars Parts 1 and 2. Given that the Winter Soldier directing duo starts filming Captain America: Civil War next month, this essentially puts them on an immediate turnaround to start filming the two-part Avengers saga as soon as they finish Civil War’s final shot (and comic fans know what I mean).
While there may have been some studio wrangling going on with this announcement, knowing that Whedon is leaving the Avengers directing chair vacant and the Russos eyeing some Ghostbusters or Spider-Man action, this is still a great grab for Marvel. Captain America: The Winter Solder is ranked near the top of any Marvel movie list and the action scenes were fantastic. Given the short time between shooting Cap 3 and Infinity War, expect whatever tone we see start to come across in the Civil War movie to also drive the Infinity War flicks. Set course for awesome!
Do you enjoy walking around town with a model replica of the DeLorean from Back to the Future Part 2 but can’t stand it when people constantly question why in the world you’d walk around town with a model replica of the DeLorean from Back to the Future Part 2?

Hold a car model up to your face to make a telephone call! Slap yourself silly for even thinking about getting this! But at least watch the video.
h/t to Greg Friedman for pointing out this most ludicrous item.
