Yet ANOTHER Back to the Future question
- Thread starter Funky
- Start date
I think it could be that thick grease he put in his hair that darkened it. ("Wooo!!! Time to change that oil!"). Not sure the significance of that line besides showing George had no style (at least not contemporary) and Marty's brother was a tool. Also, maybe he dyed it in time line 1, but was so confident in time line 2, he didn't need to.
What about the black slick hair grease.
Here is another theory. Maybe the old George's hair was black because he had much less responsibilities. Maybe owning the car, mortgage payments, ect. made George 2 happier yet
more stressed. :lol

Woa. His hair was not grey, it's brown!!! Hahaha
EDIT: nope, it def has some whisps of grey.
My vote is on the wet v. dry look. Or they just forgot.

All that success of writing those books cause some stress in his life which means grey hair.....it's symbolic
Case Closed.
That's actually the wife's theory as well :lol
Nope, don't buy it.
Stressed? He's out playing tennis, his libido hasn't suffered (pinched Lorraine's butt) and didn't freak when he heard the car was damaged. I don't think he was stressed so much that money was an issue. Looks at his new gigs.
And buy the way, if he's doing so well, why are still living in the same house they were in when they were ghetto?

"Whoo! Time to change that oil!" stuck in the 50s greaser era lol.
Maybe he didn't wanna be a sellout and decided to keep the same house... Keep a small house and u can buy more crap! Including a BMW, a new Toyota for ur youngest butthead son, and a giant house elf (who is a decendant of a killer named Mad Dog and may snap at any moment)

When I saw the picture now, it reminds me to the Angry videogame Nerd or Michael Douglas in Falling Down... :lol

''Why'' indeed. For you see, George's hair was not just an outward symbol of his constant emasculation, but also an inward cry for attention, respect, and, dare I say...redemption? His inner turmoil shone through his follicles in a way that his projected persona was utterly incapable of. He was a prisoner, not only of his surroundings, but also of his own inexplicable lack of will. To say that his hair was ''black'', was also to acknowledge that his very existence was, to himself, reprehensible at best, and, more likely, pathetically mundane at worst.
Or it was the hair grease.
.
Also, why did Doc let Marty bring the Hoverboard back with them to 1985?

I love these questions. Was it that crispin glover was not in part 3?
You mean 2 & 3
George McFly in BTTF2 was a stand in for Glover. Glover was only in 1 because he wanted more money than they were willing to pay.

Here's a question I was always a little confused about:
So the end of the first movie implies that George became a successful writer. Biff mentions that it's his new book while Lorrane mentioned it's his first book.
So is this success newfound? Or did he slog along at some office job for 30 years while writing a book on the side?

My guess is that he was simply more successful in whatever he was doing due to his confidence. The book was something he "set his mind to" and did on his own. 
The newspaper from the alternate 1985 however identifies him as "local author" so maybe he's a columnist or something like that.
