Top ten movie characters
I haven’t done a meme for ages and certainly haven’t since the relaunch/disaster of this blog so when Dan tagged me for the top ten movie character list it was perfectly timed.
So the idea is fairly self-explanatory I will list what I consider to be the top ten movie characters of all time:
The Dude – The Big Lebowski
Jack Burton – Big Trouble in Little China
Peter Venkman – Ghostbusters …

Many people have already pointed out on Twitter and Facebook the inaccuracy of the meme that is making its rounds claiming:
In ‘Back to the Future’, Doc sets clock in the DeLorean to a day 25 years in the future. TODAY IS THAT DAY!
Nope. It’s not even vaguely right. The first thing is that Doc sets the time machine to go forward thirty years into the future from the year 1985 thus making that date 2015. In fact the actual date featured in Back to the Future 2 is October 21 2015.
The date from Back to the Future 2
The confusion has stemmed from the 25th anniversary of the release of the first Back to the Future which came out on July 3rd 1985 and of course celebrated its anniversary the other day. Someone read about the anniversary and decided that it was the date they talked about in the movie and thought they were being very clever pointing it out. It would have been very clever too in about five years time, so they are just ahead of themselves.
I look forward to celebrating BTTF day on October 21 2015.
I will have a party and we shall watch the trilogy in glorious 4D ultra mega definition with electrodes inserted into our ears for the ultimate in sound quality.
Now for something fun does anyone know the dates in 2010: The Year We Make Contact?
I will not be making a habit of doing these, but I saw it over at Captain Incredible and Electronic Cerebrectomy and figured that I could bold a fair bit of that list out. I was surprised at the end of how much but in fairness a lot of them come in at the three episodes or so mark.
Actually there were one or two that could have been marked bold but I can remember if I’ve seen more than three episodes overall, I know I’ve seen a couple of them but they all blur together.
Rules:
- Bold all of the following TV shows which you’ve ever seen 3 or more episodes of in your lifetime.
- Italicize a show if you’re positive you’ve seen every episode of it.
- 24
- 7th Heaven – two Star Trek film stars in wholesome Christian show, yes I’ve seen more than three episodes, but not that many more.
