    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.

      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.

      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?

    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.

    This summer…“Who? Me? King? We-he-he-heeeell, I have been called a lot worse, sugar”…Chris Farley is…“no, no, no, no, those were the guys that got em, see? I-I-I just took care of it for ya! Does this look like the face of a guy who just killed a king? :D”…Macbeth. “-in a horseless cart DOWN BY THE RIVER!!!”

      This would be great. As a huge fan of Almost Heroes, I really wish Chris Farley had gotten a chance to do more historical comedies.

    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.

    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.

    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.
