I've always been a big proponent of the arts. While I have soft spot in my heart for films, art in all forms should be embraced and enjoyed. I'm sure you all remember the Terminator/Shakespeare mashup that I wrote about a couple of years.

It was great and a neat way to experience a film that I enjoyed in a new way and in a new medium. Not to mention that it was great date night for the wife and I.

So, on that note, the latest interesting project centers around Back to the Future and Twitter. Did you know that it was 28 years ago today that Doc Brown called up Marty and asked him to meet him at Twin Pines Mall? Well, it has been and the The Hill Valley Project is celebrating by recreating the events of Back to the Future in real time on Twitter through the use of 49 different Twitter accounts.

Since we are currently in the down period between dinner and the late night rendezvous with Doc Brown, things are a bit quiet right now, but they are set to ramp up soon. If you're a fan of Back to the Future, then why not follow along and experience one of your favorite films in a new way?

I'm sure if things are successful, they'll continue the story through the sequels.
