Today is the day in the future that was set in the time machine in Back to the Future 2 (1989). October 21, 2015. They probably picked that date 26 years in the future (was it really that long ago?) to go with the idea that the characters were now middle aged with kids (at least one near the same age Marty McFly was in the first movie). Actually, it was 30 years back in the first movie and 30 years forward in the second movie.
Like most Sci-Fi, they got more than a few things wrong. The future in Back to the Future was so much better than today. Next up the Jetsons (set in 2062 - a year hopefully i'll never see). I'm still waiting on the time machine. They do sell plutonium at 711s now don't they?
i'll watch it today to see what (updated post coming later) ...
