Hollywood Paging Dr. Pangloss

[jamesq]

Lets pretend for a moment that this is a perfect world, but only in so far as movies and television are concerned. You know what I mean, a universe where Firefly is still on the air.

So what would be in your perfect Hollywood? Here are some examples from the "nearly happened" files:

1. Will Smith was Neo in "The Matrix" (instead of being in "Wild Wild West").
   
2. Billy Wilder really did make "A Night at the United Nations" with the Marx Brothers.
   
3. River Phoenix still alive and making awesome movies.
   
4. David Fincher living a quiet but happy life somewhere far removed from cameras of all kinds.

Any other suggestions?

--- Afterthoughts ---

5. Kevin Smith listens to his cinematographer.
   
6. Christopher Moore's books were actually made into movies, instead of just being optioned.
   
7. Live action version of "The Castle of Cagliostro"!
   
8. "Action" went on for a full season.
   
9. "Twin Peaks" went for one season, instead of a season and a half.

5. Peter Jackson, with the cooperation of Stephen King would have made "The Dark Tower" series.

6. There would have been an awesome spinoff of "Buffy" dealing with Willow and Xander. That would have been cool.

7. "Angel" would have had more seasons and Fred would not have died.

8. You're right, "Firefly" would not have been canceled. It would have had 8 or 9 seasons.

9. "Farscape" would have had more seasons and there would have been an awesome spinoff. Also Dargo would not have died.

10. "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" would have been an awesome addition to the Star Trek franchise.

You killed my numbering system. Now they're all off.
