Oooo, I want to see that one!
I’m tempted to say Mystery Science Theater…
But Arrested Development edges it out. Throw it on Showtime with the original cast and crew, and do a full 26 episode season.
Me, too! That would totally rock!
Add me to the Aliens ‘That would rock!’ chorus!
And, me. Finally, an idea that would make it worth it to go to the theater.
Now, how do we get it made?
I’d make a Xena movie. Quickly, while Lucy Lawless can still do what Xena needs to do. It’d be a sequel to the Send In The Clones episode, which means Xena and Gabrielle in the modern world. There will not be subtext, because it will all be plain.
Wow. Add me, too! I’ll help finance.
I’ve got three ideas.
The first, I posted in a “Rewrite Buffy” thread four years ago, but I still think it’s an awesome idea that makes me all tingly inside:
Secondly, I’d change the way both major comic publishers handles continuity and the passage of time. I’ve been reading some of the classic Chris Claremont X-men stories, the ones where a reformed Magneto takes over running Xavier’s academy after the professor is badly wounded, and I love it. But it bugs me that at some later date, someone invented a reason for him to go all evil again, because they wanted to use him as a villain. A moral reversal like that shouldn’t be shrugged off so easily. At the same time, Magneto is a perfect foil for the X-Men, and it would be a shame to lose that “Dr. King/Malcolm X” tension between Xavier and Magneto forever because Magneto’s a good guy now. So, the question is, how do you get both, without fundamentally betraying one part or the other of these characters?
My solution is for the Marvel and DC ‘verse to operate on ten year cycles. You start each cycle with origin stories for the major characters, in the appropriate setting for when the cycle takes place. Characters who die stay dead. (I’m looking at you, Jean Grey.) Characters who go through major, life changing events stay changed. (Make up your mind, Charles. Are you in the chair, or out of the chair?) Massive, world-altering occurences really do alter the world. (Marvel’s Civil War would be the penultimate event of a Marvel cycle. Realistically, there’s no way things could go back to the way they used to be after something like that in continuity.) And really stupid shit that’s supposed to be in continuity, but which everyone ignores, will simply stop being in continuity if you wait long enough. (Goodbye, Spider clones!). Finally, after ten years (give or take) it all ends with something suitably catastrophic. The surviving characters meet in the rubble, reflect on lessons learned, and walk off into the sunset. And next month, it starts all over again, completely free from all the tangles of the previous decades’ continuity. Sure, you end up telling the same stories over and over again, but that’s what these comics do anyway. At least this way, the stories maintain their emotional impact, because we don’t have to swallow the idea that these exact characters have endured these exact events a half dozen times already. The way continuity currently works is like reading the Arthurian stories by TH White, Mallory, and John Steinbeck, and trying to figure out a way to explain how all these different, often contradictory stories all happened to the exact same people.
Lastly, I’d have the X-Files remade by someone who actually knows what’s going on in his own TV series.
The Incredibles 2: Rise of The Global Carnival Of Crime starts shooting Tuesday.
I would add Penny Lane and Strawberry Fields back on to Sgt. Pepper where they belonged, probably after the Prologue. 
I hate everything Miller said, except the X-Files bit.
Actually, this sounds a lot like the first Dark Horse Comics Aliens mini-series, published back in the late 80s or early 90s. It was about a twenty-something Newt teaming up with an old, battle-scarred Hicks to fight the aliens. I remember it having great artwork, but the story was really dark and depressing – most of the human characters came off looking worse than the aliens.
That’s how I know it’s good! 
I don’t care one bit about Buffy but I really like the comic books idea. Especially the X-Men.
“Empowered” the movie, baby. With Scarlett Johanson as “Empowered,” Stephen “Kung Fu Hustle” Chow as her thug boyfriend, Penn Gillette as the Fusion-Phallused Violator of Worlds and Christina Ricci as Ninjette.
I could definitely go for that.
Ooooh! Ooooh! And Buckaroo Banzai vs. The World Crime League!
Lost
I really don’t care to fix the past, but in the last segment in the last episode in the last season, somewhere around 10:58pm (EST), Sayid jerks awake, coming to from a bad dream, looking around for reassurance. Seeing the normalcy of Flight 815 as it makes its way to LA from Sidney, Sayid chuckles to himself and his foolishness, then presses the button calling the flight attendant.
Waiting, he looks out the window and sees an island beneath them. Then the plane starts to shake…
Fade to black, end of series.
Zardoz II: The Vortex Wars
Hmm…can I pick a series I don’t like (or at least have serious issues with),* and get the rights to retool/screw it up on purpose? Or should that go in another thread?
*I dunno, like…have Batman start ritually executing people, or slowly turning “VeggieTales” into a slavic paganist recruiting show, or something.
“F*ckin’ A!”
