Watching Christmas Vacation, I was thinking about how some of the best movies have the simplest premise, just asking a simple What If?
Something like "What if the Griswolds just stayed home?"
Or "What if nobody had ever lied?"
What do you think was another good example?

Since the cooling systems in Aliens were destroyed anyway in the firefight... what if the marines didn't have to turn in their clips/grenades when they marched into the main nest?

Not what I meant.
I meant the actual premise of the movies themselves.
Like Hook was simply "What if Peter Pan grew up?"

BORK  "hey, where's BORK doing? oh, he's gonna sneak aboard that there spaceship and fly off this here barren rock .....i heard he wants to be a farmer ....." *several hours later* "and later on LV-426NEWZ ..... a tragic accident ocurred when a human spaceship crashed into the cooling system of the newly ridden human colony ..... that was causing all that global warming we are all hearing about! casualties are unknown at this time, but a very nice family from nest x-638 said to us that their father had gone out for smokes, and hasn't been heard from since! BORK demoine was a loving father to his eight hundred children, and was said to be a promising painter ....." so therefore HUMANS = MURDERING BASTARDS if a *cough*reboot*cough* of the alien franchise was to happen, i would start from NOT sending everyone humping into the freaking nest ..... just send that twat carter burke in and "test the waters " so to speak! then when everyone sees how dead the colonists are, they can get their butts outta there and NUKE THE SITE FROM ORBIT!!!!! and that would mean DRAKE and VASQUEZ and FROST and that idiot HUDSEN would all still be alive ..... then they would become the BADASSEST ALIEN MURDERING BASTERD TEAM ever!!! |

What if the people in your Halloweens/Friday The 13ths had proper home security systems? What if those police were not incompetent?

If Titanic had avoided the iceberg, the movie would have been about a rich girl moving to Wisconsin with a poor boy who likes ice fishing.

If ET hadn't been left behind, ET would have been a movie about a successful botanical survey mission on Earth

Or "What if nobody had ever lied?" What do you think was another good example? Sliding Doors. Gwyneth Paltrow in a movie where the key moment was whether or not she caught her train on time on one particular day. The movie then follows her through the two separate lives she might have had. |
