Also of note: He and Zemeckis re-teamed in 2007's Beowulf, so there was certainly no bad blood between them over the ordeal.

Why does he remind me of Jamie Lannister here?

Thought Glover in BTTF (first one) and also "Rivers Edge" just after was a really fascinating actor with some interesting choices going on. He was unique. Compared to so many other bland young actors then and now. Obviously he sunk his own career going up against the Spielberg machine, too bad. I don't even remember the sequels to BTTF. But his and Christopher Loyds character were iconic.

Zemeckis himself has criticized the ending for being too much of a product of its era, so this idea that Zemeckis and co. blackballed Glover for questioning the ending seems more than a little dubious. Glover was probably just a very eccentric and ambitious (as well as gifted) young actor who over-estimated his importance in Hollywood, and has paid the price subsequently (he was't wrong to sue Amblin, though). Zemeckis and Glover have mended fences subsequently, so bringing up this obvious horseshit seems baffling to me.

I love the trilogy, but it always bugged me how Marty was ok with having an alternate timeline family. He doesn't know any of these people, he has no memory of anything they've done in the past.

Uh… the sequels to "Back to the Future" don't suck, buddy. They're both pretty awesome.
