When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Not 'til the week after Black Friday.

Giving a nod to Back To The Future II predicting there would be a Jaws 19 by the year 2015...Universal went ahead and made a trailer for the film.

They're waiting for Sapphire Falls to open, so they can use that resort as the main

I'm sad they didn't incorporate Sharknado into the Jaws universe.
Also where my dang hoverboard?! I was promised a hoverboard!

This advice coming from a website where the previous article is "Girls Hate Guys Saying These Six Words" and the following is "Woman Writes Open Letter to the ‘Idiot’ Who Fat-Shamed Her During Run". Not to mention they advertise iHeartRadio. Yep, this is totally sound advice!

No mention of @JenniferS, but other than that, the following article hits the Brantford trifecta: Gretzky, Horton's, and Canuck pride.
Tim Hortons and Wayne Gretzky: Brantford, Ont. is the city most proud of its Canadian identity
Statistics Canada reports that 98 per cent of Brantford residents say they take pride in being able to call themselves Canucks.

Last week, I stumbled across a news story that has provided much insight into the origins of my Canadian patriotism.
Statistics Canada reports that my hometown, Brantford, Ont., is the city most proud of its Canadian identity, with 98 per cent of residents saying they take pride in just, well, being able to call themselves Canucks.
I’m convinced it’s because this community cultivates pride in Canadian clichés in a way that puts Bob and Doug McKenzie to shame. Growing up there, you’re constantly reminded that Brantford bred the world’s greatest hockey player. And if you never move away, you think it’s in perfect taste to hang Canadian flags as curtains on your bedroom window. A Sunday well spent is a game of street hockey, played to the sounds of The Tragically Hip (we once had a music festival called Hockeyfest), followed by domestic Canadian brews consumed in a garage.
As a kid, I knew that Wayne Gretzky’s mom and dad — Walter and Phyllis — lived behind the Brantford Mall on Varadi Avenue and if you knocked on the door and asked nicely, Walter would take you for a tour of the basement that showcased memorabilia from his son’s career. Walter had autographed sticks and pucks he’d gift to kids, like a sort of hockey Halloween.
As quickly as you can say Timbit, you’re told that Brantford, per capita, has the most Tim Hortons of any city in Canada. So strong was this urban legend, that a Brantford Expositor reporter went on assignment to uncover the truth back in 2007. Much to the city’s disappointment, her research revealed Moncton, N.B., held that crown. But, she confirmed that Brantford does have the most Tim Hortons per capita in Ontario, and once boasted the busiest store, which, during peak hours, had to call the police to control the drive-thru chaos.
We love this Canadian institution so much, we’re also home to the factory that bakes the doughnuts. The central bakery that ships frozen Tim’s goods across Canada is on the east side of the city and coats the area in that familiar sugary, fried doughnut scent. If you ever happen to visit Brantford, start sniffing as you approach on the 403, right near Wayne Gretzky Parkway.
I live in Toronto now, and I’m often mocked for my “strong Canadian accent” and love for pedestrian activities like drinking beer in a garage. I’m aware that reducing Canadian culture to hockey, doughnuts and beers in a garage is incredibly simplistic and doesn’t come close to capturing the character of this country. But there’s a charming innocence in loving your country so much you take pride in these tropes.
So I raise my double double to you, fellow Brantfordians. Congratulations for putting our city on the map once again.
Yum, beer and doughnuts.
And something about hockey.

And Miami was supposed to win the World Series this year...and they're not even in the playoffs this year!
This can mean one of two things:
-Either the writers of that movie misjudged what would unfold in 2015
OR
-Biff Tannen has somehow altered the future to make the movie seem inaccurate.
