Now this may come off like I’m hating Michael J Fox, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. The dude has entertained me with one character for years.
Seriously, has anyone noticed that he played one character for 15 years? The guy didn’t age from 1985 till 2000. He played the same character in Back to the Future and it’s 2 sequels, and that was filmed over a period of 5 years. I don’t know about anyone else, but 5 years ago I looked pretty different, mostly skinnier. Just about every movie that he’s been in, he plays the same character; a down on your luck nerdy type who has to stand up to some sort of bully guy and at the end scores the chick.
He is like the 80’s version of Adam Sandler and Will Ferrell. Maybe not to the extreme that Will Ferrell takes it though. But you get my point.
I do love Michael J Fox though. In fact I just got done watching Teen Wolf, the most ridiculous movie in the history of film. He sucks at basketball, figures out he can turn into a wolf, gets good at basketball, then decides not to turn into a wolf anymore and is now good at basketball. That’s the premise for a movie? And I thought Hollywood today was out of control. But it’s entertaining, it doesn’t try to be anything it isn’t. It’s a weird crazy movie and that’s why I love it.

he’s badass… he was boss as alex keaton on family ties.
I Love The Frightners, great movie and his typical character!
He seriously was the ageless wonder. You can go back to Family Ties and he looked the same then as he did in 2000.
I think Bon Jovi is the ageless wonder now. That dude looks younger now than he did during the Slippery When Wet era.
I just reviewed Teen Wolf on my blog. I hadn’t seen it for ages.

Toph - That he was man, that he was.
Jeff - I was going to use that movie in here too. I used to watch that flick all the time.
Hierophant - I know! I want to know his secret.
Bronson - I hate Bon Jovi. I wish he’d die already.
Nick - Excellent, I’ll check it out.

I watch The Frighteners whenever it’s on… which is all the damn time. TV loves that fucking movie.
Yeah, its on Encore about 5 times a week, plus its Ondemand
hahaha….what a great take on good ol’ Michael J…isn’t it magical that when you make the careful decision not to “wolf it up”, you can still be good at b-ball??? Awesome
Awww Steve… I love Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler. But I’d gladly see them both burn in hell before giving up my Marty McFly. Oh.. and hugely important — Biff is on my myspace friends!! And when I wrote my pathetically gushy message to him he wrote back!
Woohoo!
I love Teen Wolf. That’s what my waxer used to call me. Did M.J. Fox die or something?
oh I love Teen wolf!! too bad he was too busy to do the sequel. Jason Bateman really sucked ass.
Teen Wolf 2 is the real deal. Bateman is the man.
Damn you. Come back.
You know that scene from Back To The Future where he’s rocking out on the guitar, covering Johnny B. Goode? The director originally wanted him to stand still but because of Parkinson’s, Michael was all over the place! And they still loved it!
