Just in time to create a new generation of fans is the limited theatrical release of Back to the Future: AMC theaters will be showing two screenings of the film across the country on Oct. 23 and 25! It's hard to believe that this year marks the 25th anniversary of the film, which is a geek girl's dream for obvious reasons: time travel, love, and science — holla! And don't get me started about the sequel — if we can get hoverboards and flying cars by 2015, as the film predicted, it's going to be real fun getting to work.

It's also the film that almost never was. Well, not as we know it, at least. Before Michael J. Fox came on the scene, Eric Stoltz (who is rockin' it in Caprica, BTW) was originally cast to play Marty McFly. The Blu-ray edition of the 25th anniversary BTTF has original footage of Eric in the role and Steven Spielberg and Robert Zemeckis explaining why they had to let him go. Eric ended up OK, landing the starring role in the '80s classic, Some Kind of Wonderful, shortly after.

To see footage of Eric as Marty McFly, keep reading.

Grey's Anatomy Rundown: Episode 13, "Stairway to Heaven"

On this week's Thursday night horror movie — OK, it was an episode of Grey's Anatomy, but with all the creepy music and quick camera angles and ghosts, didn't it feel a little like a horror movie?

On this week's Thursday night horror movie — OK, it was an episode of Grey's Anatomy, but with all the creepy music and quick camera angles and ghosts, didn't it feel a little like a horror movie? — a lot of our continuing plotlines come to their conclusions, with Meredith dealing with the serial killer and Izzie calling out Denny for sticking around. There's a little comic relief with Lexie and Mark, but most of the episode is pretty heavy. Ready to chat? Just read more

Grey's Anatomy Rundown: Episode 12, "Sympathy For the Devil"

This week's episode of Grey's Anatomy continues along the same path as last week's, and really, there doesn't seem to be a lot of newness, or resolution, to any of the storylines.

This week's episode of Grey's Anatomy continues along the same path as last week's, and really, there doesn't seem to be a lot of newness, or resolution, to any of the storylines. It feels a little like the second film in a trilogy — but that's not all bad. We do get to meet Derek's mother (played by the delightful Tyne Daly) during her visit to Seattle Grace, which adds some variety, as well as a little comic relief. To talk about it (and about that gift she gave Derek!), read more

Grey's Anatomy Rundown: Episode 11, "Wish You Were Here"

As seems to be the case these days, this week's Grey's Anatomy had a bunch of things that worked and then a few major things that just did not.

As seems to be the case these days, this week's Grey's Anatomy had a bunch of things that worked and then a few major things that just did not. In the first category, we have some sweet Alex moments, the introduction of a new character who might actually make some sense, and Bailey being awesome. In the second, we have — well, you know. Ghosts. To talk about it, just read more

TV Tonight: Grey's Anatomy

You know, ghost sex or no ghost sex, I'm honestly excited to see tonight's episode of Grey's Anatomy.

You know, ghost sex or no ghost sex, I'm honestly excited to see tonight's episode of Grey's Anatomy. It's like the more train-wreck-y the show gets, the more pumped I get to tune in. I'm sure the novelty will wear off (hopefully not before Shonda Rhimes returns to her senses and gets the show back on track), but for now, I kind of can't wait to see what happens.

But weird Denny scenes aren't the only thing tonight's episode has in store for us. It also means the introductions of two new characters: Dr. Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw), a pediatric surgeon, and William (Eric Stoltz), a death row inmate who comes to Seattle Grace for treatment and causes different reactions in Derek, Meredith, and Cristina. And it sounds like there's going to be some follow-up to that Lexie/Mark "teach me" moment, too.

Is anyone else sort of sickly excited to watch tonight? Don't forget, tonight's Grey's is the first of a double-dose of doctor shows, as Private Practice airs at its new time right after. You can check out a couple of preview clips for Grey's if you read more

Grey's Anatomy Rumor Roundup! Killers, Ghosts, and More

Well, it's certainly been a crazy couple of days for Grey's Anatomy gossip.

Well, it's certainly been a crazy couple of days for Grey's Anatomy gossip. Just today, there's news about what might be behind the Izzie/Denny story, plus news about a wild new plot coming up later this season. And a couple of days ago, rumors and "blind items" started flying about a character possibly leaving the Grey's universe. Looking back, doesn't my most ridiculous Grey's Anatomy moment poll from '07 seem awfully tame? If only we'd known what was coming up. Anyway, to start talking about the news and rumors (it should be obvious, but there be spoilers ahead!), read more
