Marty McFly Visits Hill Valley in October 2015

We're finally living in the month that Marty visited in 'Back to the Future II'

The exact date is October 21st, 2015, so there's still some time for flying cars and dehydrated pizza to hit the market

Here's a clip from the movie where Marty first walks into the Hill Valley of October 2015. Notice how he encounters a fax machine mailbox on the street.

And the trailer for a non-exixtent film that was going to be realeased at that time.

So, get ready for a real fake day; make your welcome posters, so Marty can feel at home.

Have fun

Compound adjectives

Defintion:

Two or more words (such as part-time or high-speed) that act as a single idea to modify a noun (a part-time employee, a high-speed chase). Also called phrasal adjective or compound modifier.
As a general rule, the words in a compound adjective are hyphenated when they come before a noun (a well-known actor) but not when they come after (The actor is well known).
Also, compound adjectives formed with an adverb ending in -ly (such as rapidly changing) are usually not hyphenated.
