Yesterday afternoon, I turned on the TV and realized that my all-time favorite movie, “Back to the Future,” was on TNT, so I watched it until the end. At one point in the movie, Marty McFly is writing Doc Brown a letter to warn him that in the future he’ll be shot and killed. As he writes, he speaks the words aloud: “On the night that I go back in time, you will be shot and killed by terrorists.” But in the TNT version yesterday, he said, “On the night that I go back in time, you will be shot.” The rest of the sentence is cut out. And the phrase is even blanked out when the camera shows his words on the page. I couldn’t believe it. I found a couple of message board threads about it, and apparently that’s not the only 9/11-related cut.

Thank goodness for DVDs.

(By the way, whenever I see the phrase “bttf.com” I automatically think of “buttfuck.”)
