Hot Tub Time Machine




Yup, you read that right. Hot Tub Time Machine is coming to a screen near you this March. A R-rated comedy starring John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Craig Robinson, and Clark Duke, the group is transported back to 1986 and a ski weekend via a hot tub time machine.

It looks ridiculous and who doesn't love to make fun of the 1980s. Those of us that are of the main character's generation remember it well and anyone born in the 1980s is sure to love the retro-nostalgia of a time they don't remember. Only an iPod-generation would find the thought of a chunky, yellow, Walkman, that plays cassettes funny.

The trailers do look funny and I think its largely a combination of the material and the deadpan comedic timing of the actors involved.

Time Travel is a Bitch

"Time travel is a bitch" - Sawyer from "Lost"




I was just browsing this site Entertonement.com which has a wealth of clips from everything and anything imaginable including Time Travel related quotes like the one from Sawyer above.

There's also the sound from Lost when they are travelling through time.



You can also find audio clips from Terminator, Back to the Future, and Dr. Who television series. Surprisingly there are very few clips from movies like Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure or say Donnie Darko.

Let me know if you know of any other great sites for sound clips (especially time travel / sci-fi related ones).

I'll leave you with this last one with wise words from Doc Brown.
