《Alexander Creed: Re-Life》Chapter 227: Back to the Future I.I
Advertisement
When the darkened and eclipsed sun came out, Alexander wasn't too surprised by it.
It was more or less the same entry of Creed Pictures in the past. There are tweaks though such as the 'C' font being cut off the same eye-catching font style of Creed Comics' CC.
There is also the fact that the animation became prominent and 3D-esque given that Old Sullivan worked closely with ILM throughout this re-life.
As for why it is a darkened sun, well... it has something to do with the Creeds family crest. Even though the Creeds aren't exactly of noble lineage, it just so happens that Alexander's ancestors have been holding onto a sun-urchin like an emblem for generations.
Although the current animatics couldn't depict that, it wasn't too far off.
In any case, the Creed Pictures logo had its debut... Of course, there was also the Columbia Liberty girl but that was it.
There is always a novelty in something new and the old school Liberty torch girl was already a norm for many people in this premiere.
At the end of those sequences, the movie finally began...
-------
The screen is dark. There is a ticking sound though, so… hopefully, it is a roomful of clocks, or else there's going to have to be a bomb to diffuse.
Thankfully, it's Clocks. A lot of clocks and timers. There are also radios, coffee machines, and televisions coming on all by themselves.
The unwatched television talks about the morning news and oddly specifies on stolen plutonium.
The room continued to be explored until all eyes are drawn as the timers and clocks deployed the mechanisms that are connected to it.
A toast is burnt and a can of dog food is opened by robots and dropped unto a filled dog bowl with Einstein written on it.
A person arrives at the unmanned but machine-filled room.
He's got a skateboard, so one can assume he's pretty cool because a skateboard is always a surefire sign of coolness.

Sunglasses, denim jacket. Perfectly feathered hair. Oh, yeah. He's cool all right.
He calls out for some "Doc" person, who isn't home... also Einstein as well, who happens to be the name in the dog bowl.
Clearly, the Doc-tor is not in the house...
The skateboard-carrying person inadvertently stumbles unto the stolen plutonium that the news is talking about but doesn't realize it.
Instead, he plugs something unto a giant amplifier, set it to the highest setting, and starts playing it into a rock riff...
Too bad... it became a rocks-plosion that can even blow the people unto the shelves!
There was no need for the premiere-goers to try imagining what the boy felt as everyone was left reeling by the amplifier sound that continue to reel unto the theater.
Eventually, the film set unto an introductive gear as everyone got to know the skateboarding, rock-rolling entrant to be Marty, and is asked by the "Doc" on the phone to meet him
Something about meeting at Twin Pines Mall at 1:15 AM. It was shady and sets the tone for what person Doc is...
The alarms abruptly drown out all the noise in the room and it was at this moment that Marty realized he was late... for school.
----
In All-American late boy fashion, 17-year-old Marty McFly finished his visit to his eccentric scientist friend and hops unto school in cool skateboard-y fashion.
Marty's late for school, so he's riding his skateboard through the streets of the town, hitching rides on the backs of moving vehicles.
Harnessing his knowledge of the routes and ramp-riding cars, the people of the premiere is shown the cool way of rushing to school in a skate-y montage...
It's the scene that stuck out as Marty's trait and something that even someone like Alexander found to be phenomenal.
-----
Of course, a film doesn't set out to explore the coolness of one character but also his normal life as well.

In 1985, Marty McFly is just a typical teenager living in Hill Valley, California.
Just as Marty's about to head inside his school, Jennifer (his girlfriend) warns him that he can't go in that way, or he'll get busted by Strickland for his fourth straight tardy.
They were still busted though and Strickland, the school principal, gives Marty a hard time about hanging out with Dr. Emmett Brown, a.k.a. Doc.
It was clear that this Dr. Brown doesn't have the best reputation around town. Who knows how or why this odd Marty and Doc couple found one another…?
Strickland then tells Marty he's a slacker, and compares him to his slacker father… then tops it all off by telling Marty that his band doesn't have a chance of making it through the audition for the school dance, and he shouldn't waste his time.
Well, Marty hadn't really taken Strickland's words to heart.
Here he is, auditioning with his band, "The Pinheads"… but unfortunately, they're "just too darn loud."
Of course, the loudness was in part due to rival band-ist Needles egging him with the taboo word "Chicken" and the fact that they were too quiet...
Needless to say, Marty's band is rejected for a music contest.
He confides in his girlfriend, Jennifer Parker, about fears of becoming like his parents despite his ambitions.
There's no better medicine for a failed audition than a sympathetic girlfriend. Jennifer builds him up a bit, first with her words of encouragement, second is their upcoming weekend trip... then with a little kissy-face.
However, they're interrupted by a lady who wants them to donate a few dimes to "save the clock tower." Mayor Wilson of Hill Valley wants it torn down and replaced...
Also, apparently, the thing went kaput after being struck by lightning 30 years earlier. (Wait—could this be foreshadowing? Nah…)
At some point, Marty skateboards into a subdivision called, Lyon Estates, a place he calls home.
Arriving at the driveway, it looks like the family car is a bit… smashed up.
Marty steps inside the house to find his pushover father, George, being bullied by his supervisor, Biff… who is the one who banged up the car.
As it turns out, Biff is also having George write work reports for him, then handing them in as his own.
Marty's mostly concerned about the demolished vehicle though. So much for that weekend trip to the lake he'd been planning to take with Jennifer.
Ahh… dinnertime at the McFly's. George's charming little laugh is on full display as he watches an old Honeymooner's rerun, while Marty's mother, Lorraine, reminisces about the first time they met… after her father hit him with the car.
There's also some reminiscing about their first date—the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance—which took place on the night of an awful thunderstorm. (More foreshadowing? Couldn't be…)
Of course, there were the McFly siblings that already heard the story a dozen times.
In any case, this must be a recurring situation at home.
Marty's meek father, George, is bullied by his supervisor, Biff Tannen.
His mother Lorraine is a depressed alcoholic, and his older siblings are professional and social failures.
It was no wonder why Principal Strickland has scorn for anyone with the McFly name.
-----
So far... the film appropriates everyone to the situation that Marty is in and who Marty really is...
For those part of the BttF production, finally seeing all their hard work come to fruition was gratifying.
From Michael Fox down to the lady who explained the importance of the unworking clock tower, it was quite the experience to be part of the magic they are seeing now...
The magic was still not over though as...
Everyone's attention was still locked into the film as Back to the Future has yet to show everyone why it was so...

The Summoned - Complete
In a world of magic, ruled by many warring races, the human kingdoms are being pushed to the brink of collapse. In a desperate bid to gain the strength to stand on an equal footing with the other nations, they perform a forbidden ritual to summon combat slaves from another dimension. Unluckily for them, Mors Letus, recently named by their world's God of Death, was one of them. **** Warning **** This is a re-release (The Summoned) of the first book I wrote in partnership with my brother (who later forced the story to be pulled (It was released on his account here)). I have started writing my own version of the story (BOM: The Summoned) and will continue to primarily invest in that, though, now I have permission to re-release this one, I plan finish this as I have the drafts and it was close to the end of the first book. Many characters/scenes and events match/Will match BOM: The Summoned, especially in future arc's (Past Flatner forest). If you don't like spoilers, don't want to get confused between the two stories or hate first attempts at writing (god awful grammar/sentence structure and storytelling), I would advise against reading.

Whereupon he begins to spin the tale of his origins to a gathered crowd well into such a celebration. The story he weaves begins upon his first world, our Earth, where his first body is dying from something incurable. He is then transferred into a game-like world, and gains a new body that is far stronger. However, this game-like world has its own secrets, which causes the MC to be summoned to a new world. It is here, in this new world, where his personality really comes forth, shaking the world to its very core.Arc 2 - Terra:The story continues with the kitsune's new audience, an army of monsters, as they journey from the forests of Nu'Bai and onwards towards the Lichdom known solely as Necropolis.

His Terra.Special Thanks to Christian Bentulan for creating the covers for Origin Point.https://www.facebook.com/coversbychristian/___________________________________________________________Origin Point was inspired by the games Everquest and D&D, along with the book series Dragonlance, and the light novel Overlord.This story is a dark fantasy full of torturous experiences. It is not for everyone, but it is tempered with some fluff.
