    Riding high on the success of Aladdin 2: Return of Jafar, Disney decides to pilfer from Shakespeare this time. In March of 1995, the world witnesses the release of Disney’s Othello. The entire reason for this movie’s existence is to have Gilbert Gottfried as Iago. Not just like a funny casting joke, he’s the parrot from Aladdin. He wears like a hat and vest in this one or something, and no one ever mentions Aladdin or Agrabah, but it’s like Baloo in TailSpin, you know damn well it’s the same dude.

      Damn, what even was Tailspin? What possessed Disney to add another character to the roster of ones that go on to have new roles beyond their original 30 years after Michael Mouse?

      Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He can come back and do anything at any time. He had so much more to give and so much more to receive. God damn shame.

      I’d love to see Gilda Radner come back for Weekend Update.

      Annie Wersching should still be playing the Borg queen.

    Chadwick Bowsman in anything, but I would have loved it if he could have had a real close to the Black Panther character. If I have a magic wand I’d cure his cancer, of course. But even giving him just a few more years so he could give that character a worthy send off and better set up the rest of his universe.

      Michael Clarke Duncan to do a mulriverse style team up with Vincent D’Onofrio against Ben Afleck and Charlie Cox. There’s a good chance it would be a disaster, but I would still love to see it.

    Raul Julia. And since we’re working miracles, I’m also taking away his cancer and all of the complications that followed to let the one more movie be post-Street Fighter.

    Not a dead actor but an actor too old for the role I’m imagining: I think McKenna Grace should have starred in a Home Alone movie while she was still young enough. We have six Home Alone movies starring boys, it’d be cool to have one starring a girl.

    Watched the original Road House night before last. Told my wife I would have loved to see Patrick Swayze keep on. He wasn’t the best actor of all time, but I could see his performance maturing into something truly strong with another decade or two under his belt.

    Since you said, “one more movie”, I guess it has to be a movie actor. Otherwise, I’d probably pick an author like Shakespeare, who was also an actor, and obviously, he’d be acting in something new that he wrote. Wouldn’t it be better to end up with a new work?

    Otherwise, I’d choose a universally beloved actor who would be willing to make a serious movie that speaks out against what is happening today in America will authority, conviction, and gravitas. Like, Charlie Chaplin starred in The Great Dictator. Maybe he’d be excited to star in a movie that shits all over Trump and MAGA.

    I could go for another Farley + Spade buddy movie but at their ages they would be now. I wonder what that would look like in 2025.
