OK, here's what we do-

pick someone who is very well known, ok, like a celebrity.

The next person to post has to make that person an "Alternate Reality" like in 1985A. What would they be like?

Say I posted:

George Bush

The next person to post:

Alternate Reality of George Bush- He is not the president since the US is now communist, and he is still managing the Rangers. He's wanted in a few states for disturbing the peace.

See? George Bush isn't necessarily bad, but in an Alternate Reality he might be, because the outcome of people's lives change. Let's try this and see how it goes. :marshall:

ok, i'll play.

Britney Spears

OK...

Is a poor lady who sometimes sings in nursing homes. She usually hangs out in her box near the Arcade.

Al Gore

Works in an adult video store run by frat brother Bill Clinton

NOTE: Are we basing this on the -A reality in Part II, or just a random alternate timeline?

Since nobody picked anything above me, I'll say Adam Sandler.

What would you envision him to be doing in 2004-A?

^Just for clarification, this is just an 'Alternate Reality.'

Not the one in BTTF where Biff becomes rich. ;)

^Thanks for the clarification HBK. I think this will be a fun game! Also from now on post your answer and a new celebrity in your post.

Adam Sandler would be a bum or gets pocket change by telling jokes.

Hilary Duff

Selling hot dogs at Wrigley Field

Donald Trump

Isn't quite as rich but makes money by playing poker until 3:00 in the morning in the neighborhood.

George Lucas

Made the original Star Wars movies but never made the sepeicla editions and the prequels.

Michael J. Fox?

Starred in The Matrix as Neo instead of that other dude :)

And he starred in Lord of the Rings as Frodo, and didn't have Parkinsons, so they made BTTF 4 :(

(You can make good Alternate Realities also)


Hmm... another celebrity... how about... Mark McGwire?

Endorses herbal weight-loss supplements on 3 am infomercial

Billy Bob Thorton

^ A: Married to a middle-aged country singer.

REALITY: TP 2004. (Maybe in the BTTF world, Billy Bob read George's A Match Made in Space and that somehow led him to meet/marry Angelina Jolie in the LP/Eastwood timeline. Although that's pretty far-fetched.:lol: )

NOTE: When you pick a person, I'd suggest, just to make it more fun and guided, picking an event in that person's life to have changed, resulting in an alternate self in the present (i.e. if Hilary Duff didn't go into acting...).

My previous misconception was that it was a change in the timeline itself.:o I suppose it would all be real world 2004 (or of any year we do pick).

Q: Weird Al Yankovic -- if he didn't become successful at parodying songs?

He would be a lawyer working fro the good of mankind and doing what is good and noble.

He would call himself Albert Yankovic, very dignified and happy with himself.

Christopher Llyod - if he didn't decide to act as a career

^ I feel slightly guilty taking this topic from Loretta (THE expect on CL, hehe :) ), but I would assume he'd be making a living simply by being in plays - which he did first, I believe, or at least writing them.

Q: Huey Lewis - if he still came out with Sports and everything else was identical until 1984/85, but just didn't have any involvement in BTTF.

He would have a successful TV career and his own sitcom on CBS.

Bill Murray-if he'd never been on SNL

^ He'd be doing a standup routine about Ghostbusters. :)

(But, since that's probably in my Top 5 non-BTTF favorite movies, I'm just glad he did get on.)

Q: MJF if he didn't get a role in BTTF (and it went with Eric Stoltz as planned)?

He would have done Family Ties: The Movie and disappeared until Quentin Tarentino cast him in Pulp Fiction.

Ronald Reagan-if he hadn't been elected president

He would have continued being an actor but not getting much major success until being cast as "Doc Brown" in the Back to the Future movies.

Mark Hamill? (Luke Skywalker in Star Wars)

He would sell cars off I-90 in Ohio.

Rick James if he hadn't taken drugs?

^ He'd probably still be alive today ( :( ), wouldn't have gotten into as much trouble with the law, and might've racked up a few more "Super Freak" level of big hits.

Q: (Mostly for Chris), Vince Neil if he hadn't been kicked out of/quit Motley Crue -- temporarily -- in 1991/92?

^A vegetable, as a result of a heart attack

John Mc Enroe- if he'd never taken up tennis?

He'd be a famous and much sought-after attorney, but notorious for all his "contempt of court" sentences. :lol:

John Lennon, if he hadn't met Paul McCartney?

a probono lawyer

Harrison Ford if he wasn't in movies

Selling cars for Ford :P

Michael Jackson if he didn't get into plastic surgery?

^ The "BAD" album would still be a hit, but he would've looked more like a tough guy and without quite as much of the high-pitched "Oww"s, hehe. :lol:

Bob Saget if he'd continued hosting America's Funniest Home Videos?

(PS: I miss the guy, not just there, but as Danny.)

Hosting a daytime talk show with ok ratings

John Belushi- if he hadn't died so young :( ?

Starring in the t.v show, 'According to John'.

Actually, Dan Aykroyd said he had wrote Ghostbusters with John in mind, and Spies like us.
So I guess John would have been in all of Dan's movies through the 80's. Thats what should have happened :(


Superman ?
